Electrical Diagram
Hey All,
I am in the process of tracing some wiring on my 73 Mustang and have acquired some of the original ford schematics. There is a bracket symbol that I am not quite sure what it means. I have attached the picture and have the brackets circled in red that I am refuring to. Is it a connector?? Is it giving you an option of one wire or the other?? http://lh3.ggpht.com/_y5MhwMoGO5U/TN.../s912/wire.jpg

never seen such a modern wiring diagram for a classic mustang.
i would have guessed a Y-connector
what does the manual say for: C-211 and C-211A ?
on a second thought it is probably grouping.
for example at the water temperatur sender and switch.
there's one cable at each (grounding out at switch), then it is 'grouped' and later you'll have the same two cables again. it might just be to simplify that several cables are routed this way, but for easy reading they only draw one

well i got news for you, i think I have it now. i was looking at that picture:
and in this diagram it's clear the curly brackets are EITHER/OR (options). Only in this diagram they were nice enough to write down the options (V6/V8, tach/no tach, BOSS/not BOSS)
for example top left corner in the picture I posted it's either you don't have a tach and you have the pink wire (resistor wire) only, or you have a tach and you have the tach with red/green cables or pink after that
very same for your diagram with the temperature. you either have a switch or a sensor. in any case the wires are the same. and if you have a temperature switch it goes to the safety lamp. If you have a sensor it goes to the gauge. makes perfect sense now
as for the ones you circled:
the top circle you made is the same thing. either you have a tach (use the upper schematic), or you don't. use the lower
and at the lower circle you made you have 904 LG-R coming from top and from there you EITHER have one single wire from there OR the other two 904/297
