I've got a good wiring diagram for a positive earth '67 from the Bentley
Manual.
I would imagine it should be fairly similar.
I don't have a scanner or I'd e-mail it to you. I'll send a copy if you want.
The Lindsay Porter book (Midget & Sprite buying & restoring) is mostly
advice and overviews
not much real tech. stuff but worth having.
Good luck and many happy RPM's
Dave Fox
'67 Midget
