I just purchased a 1967 Falcon Station Wagon that has been previously unloved severely as a project car for my stepson and I to play with. It is currently not running and in need of a full take apart and rebuild everything that bolts to anything else. Somebody previous to me has gone in and done horrible things to the wiring (and just about everything else) As I have always wanted a falcon since I first saw one many many many years ago I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this one for basically towing it away. However, both Chilton and Haynes no longer offer manuals for this age of vehicle and I am in dire need of either a schematic or a wiring diagram so I can begin the process of getting the wiring back into order. (I think the reason why it won't start is in the ignition switch wiring to the solenoid---It previously had some 'universal' switch and what looked like old lamp cord running to the solenoid. I have obtained the correct ignition switch-solenoid-etc, I get lights and the engine turns over with the "screwdriver" jump but will not start up. Carb/ignition etc has been replaced as well. If anyone has a copy of a wiring schematic or a wiring diagram or both, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry I can't help you with a diagram, but have you tried secondhand book shops or motoring book shops to see if they have any ideas where you might track down a copy of a manual? If there is a relevant car club in your area they would likely be able to help you out also.

Hey jklsuhr!

I have the factory manual for the Australian XR series which ran here from 66-68. The details should be pretty similar to yours - worth a try anyway. I'll have a go at scanning and sending the info to you!

Actually I have. unless I want to spend 50.00 or so USD for the CD rom version on the Internet there isn't much available in my area of Virginia, This is a very big NASCAR area and falcons aren't in their vocabulary. In fact, there is really only one real auto parts store for about 75 miles or so. Everything else is an autozone, checker, or a pepboys. (if it isn't in their computer, they don't know what to do, the use of paper catalogs is just about a lost skill around here) The closest falcon club to me is philadelphia and they don't help non-members (I called)

They are large (250-400kb) once you open the image, right-click and save image to your hard drive.

Hope this helps

Did you find what you needed there?
They are for Australian Falcons - I found the colours to be accurate for my 1970 Fairlane when I was adapting the 1987 wiring loom...
