the photo was taken like this for a reason,.i offered to post it to show the forum members how nice of a job he does on these diagrams,but agreed not to photograph the entire diagram ...the vaccume diagram is there but not in this photo-. you can get one for your year corvette by contacting don olson at (630)947-3284-the cost for the diagram is $22.00-without shipping,you'll have to speak to don for the details,i thought i had his # in the origional post, since i live 3 miles from him i paid only the $22.00,and its well worth it.measures34'' x 22'' and is sealed in plastic,,,headlight vaccume diagram is on this print,,rear window defog,,power window diagram,,also has entire bulb data for car and fuse size chart for every circut,,this is a very professionally done document and well worth the $22.00 in fustration saved by the color coated lines,,just wished i would of thought of doing this,,for i did the same thing 2 yrs ago when i figured out the vaccume system of the c-3 with my colored pencils,,and vaccume diagram out of the assembly manual!!! by the way the colors of the lines on this print are the same color as the wire in your car,,so if you were tracing out the high beam and the color was blue,, the actual wire is the same color!!!!

Hello all,

I draw these diagrams and I'll answer your questions as best I can.

Each drawing is aboy 22x34" and is coated on both sides with 5 mil clear plastic for protection. The drawings are year specific and include all electrical options. Also included are the fuses/circuit breakers and their ratings. There is also the lamp numbers. I have even included the vacuum systems for the heater/a-c, headlamps, and windshield wiper door.

I have drawn the Corvettes from from 1953 through 1978 and will be drawing the 79 shortly. These were offered on the C1-C2 forum last week.

Since this is not the 'parts for sale' forum, I won't mention the price or the cost to UPS to you.

You should contact me directly off this forum at:

I saw those advertised last week here and ordered up a print for my 69 & 72. I got them in yesterday and opened just now- excellant work Don.

Guys, these prints are worth every penny. Don took the time to color code all the wires as they are in the car and added in the color coded vacuum hose diagrams too. If you're going to work on your car buy one,period. Better then the ones I see at Carlisle every year!

I'll be in touch soon too. Seems a small price to pay for good information at a glance.

Don, heck you're a nice guy! But even if you weren't, those prints are the best I've seen on the market. As some here will atest to, I like to go beyond a standard procedure when doing something and this is what you have done-good job!

Color is the way to go...

Bought mine from a different vendor and took the CD disk to work and blew the drawing up on the company plotter (large printer). Ended up with a 36 X 30 print that has been invalueable in rebuilding my 78 wiring harness --- but it's in black and white.

Very good price for color and size offered - much easier on the old eyes.

Hey all,
I forgot to mention that UPS will NOT deliver to a PO Box. So be sure that you send me either your home or business address. My apologies for any confusion they may have caused.
