72 C3 Wiring diagrams

[Davidsvette]

Hello everyone, first off, it is brilliant now being a CCCUK member and owning my long awaited Stingray, I am going to need a lot of help with different things but first I would like to have a good sort out of the wiring in my vette, there are bits and pieces hanging down here and there so would anyone have a good suggestion of me sourcing understandable diagrams, the engine runs ok but needs a fuel flush and carb clean, brakes are not working although some new pipes and cables have been fitted, the car has come from Arizona to Kuwait and then to England in 96 then dry stored since, body front is looking sad but have plenty of GRP experience, chassis and bird cage are clean. Can't wait to get started, we have just done a 1200 mile trip to get her to Plymouth. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all. Dave.

You can get a diagram from a guy on the US forum.
68-82 wiring diagrams for anyone - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
I've found the 1978 corvette electrical troubleshooting manual to be really useful, as it explains how each system works and where the components are. Not sure if there is a 1972 version or how similar 72 and 78 electrics are.

Welcome to the Club and to the forum!
Good luck with the restoration project. Keep us posted with progress and pictures are always good on here.

Hi there Forrest, thanks for your welcome and good luck, I am in Plymouth, Devon.

Ahhhh... Plymouth. You'll have to attend the south west monthly meet ups, normally at Strawberry Fields near Lifton.

Aye CaptainK, Rob Harrison as been in touch and told me ot he Strawberry field meet at Lifton on 28th I think, looking forward to that but a little nervous as I know so very little about the Corvette, I thought if I didnt know too much about them I wouldnt get wound up not having one.
