I can empathize.  :-)

I've been doing something similar with Spitfire 1500 diagrams for a
few months now.  I thought that making an accurate diagram would be
fairly easy....it's not.  :-)  Bobby Sykes has joined in and the man
is literally *dismantling* his cars to check the wiring!  What a
trooper!  <g>  Seems like the draftsmen just couldn't keep up with all
the rapid changes during the federal years.

I would think that the TR2-3 wiring was much more consistent during
the production run.  Still, you may need to examine some actual cars
to prove things out.   I've got a '76 Spitfire harness cut open on my
workbench right now.  I saved the commission plate for reference
because I'm not convinced that every '76 is wired this way.

Cheers!
