65amp wiring/trouble shooting

Yes. The book diagrams are not that clear on these options. We'll have to figure out what is actually on Mark's car.

Post 1. Back of ammeter photos show two wires at the black wire junction.
According to the shop manual, there should be three with 60 amp alternator and the rear window defroster grid.
Side note. Looks like the insulation is cracked and the connections are not exactly clean. Next time in there ( with the battery disconnected, remove clean, and reinstall.) Unless you see serious damage, a dab of liquid electrical tape should close up the insulation damage.

Post 18. First photo shows 3 wires battery wires at relay junction.

One is from the battery.
Can you see where the second red wire goes? or does it gointo the wrapped harness?
The diagrams show the fuseable link is the line going to the ammeter through the grommet.
Does this fusible link connect to a red wire going to the grommet. If not, where does it go?
(it would be a good idea to clean these connections too. again disconnect the battery first.)

Same post, photos show a heavy red wire coming out of the harness with a round white connector.
Where does it connect to? A fusible link?

Finally there are two black wires coming out of the grommet.
One comes from the alternator output.
What does the other connect to?

This is the diagram so far.
With the questions above answered and some more photos probably can figure it out.

Explanation of the wire codes.
A is Battery related. A1 is a branch and A1A is the first segment. 10 R is 10 gage Red insulation.
R is alternator related. R6 is alternator output. R3 is control of the rotor power.
J is Ignition related, although by 1974 that includes the feed into the key switch, power to alternator, and the electric choke.
J1 is power to key switch, J2 is run.
Okay you asked here some things


The red wire you asked if it is connected to a fusible link, yes is does. The wire goes from the starter relay into the harness, then it goes into the white connector. Then, it continues as a black or smth wire to a fusible link which ends in the bulkhead connector (you can actually see it between left and middle connector on the bulkhead).

To the two black wires coming out the grommet. They merge into a single thick brown cable that goes right on top of the alternator.
It looks like there's a 4th wire going into the grommet, but it is actually the thick brown cable going to the bracked next to the grommet.
