Bulkhead Supplemental Diagram: 69 Barracuda
Greetings all-
Just thought I'd pass this along, since I couldn't find something similar on fabo (it probably exists, but...).
Regarding the bulkhead diagrams available for my Barracuda, I found that the manual, as well as my 11X17 laminated, colored diagram aren't exactly laid out in a manner that easily provides a "view" frame of reference. Before I created the diagram, I had to imagine myself as a tiny man, straddling my firewall between the connectors, and looking toward the headlights, and then turning and looking toward the steering wheel... but only after rotating the original diagrams downward at the outer extents (see the "original" pic), so they rotated down in front and back of me like a set of old, rigid garage doors!
So I created a supplemental bulkhead diagram (google doc at left, PDF) that shows the bulkhead from two graspable views... standing at the headlights looking at the bulkhead, and looking at the bulkhead while laying in the car and looking toward the headlights. This is particularly useful when pretzeled under the dash and you need to double and triple check which bulkhead wire is which!
I hope I got everything correct!
