Could someone tell me where the wire for the reverse light hooks to power on a 69 GTS. 4spd of course.

This one is traced out for an auto but you can see where the manual switch would be. red is from ign. all the way through the fuse to the reverses light switch, green is current to the bulbs.
 
Get into the left kick panel and access the reverse lamp wire

are you referring to the reverse indicator light on the dash?
 
Tap in at the bulkhead connector cavity C on the interior side, light housing grounds to the dash
 
Know where the bulkhead is but not cavity c.
 
The bulkhead connector each wire hole is labelled with a moulded in letter. Look at the 69 schematic shown in your thread where the green is drawn on the wire trace that stops at the bulkhead connector on the drawing. Every wire goes into its own square on this bulkhead with each square or wire cavity having a letter A thru Z except letter i which looks like a 1. That one that goes into letter C, or Cavity C. On the interior side it says WHITE-TR. That more than likely means its a white wire with a black tracer stripe. Probably the bottom row at the bulkhead connector. You want to splice it into that existing white wire with the tracer, that wire is what goes back to the reverse lamps.

They back fed from the body harness connection under the left kick panel. 4 speed cars had the jumper Installed for the reverse lights.
