Question on wiring

I am beginning to rewire my 54 Hornet Special. I am using a wiring diagram from a 54 Hornet. Does the Special wiring have a different color scheme from the Hornet? The reason I ask is as I am pulling wires and matching them to the wiring diagram they often don't match. For example, the Horn Button Wire that I pulled from the car is red with a yellow swirl. The wiring diagram says it is supposed to white or black. Someone enlighten me please.



Thanks,

Doug

    While I am no expert on the colors of the wiring used between models, I suspect that the wiring issues you are encounting is based on what was available as the factory began the transition to AMC. The Hornet Special is a transition model. If the wires are routed the same as the diagram, I would pencil in the unique aspects of your wiring on the diagram. Over the 45 years I have been associated with Hudson Stepdowns there have been numerous examples of differences between like models, with the functionality being the same.

    Good luck as you rewire the car.

    Thanks Ken. I suspected that was the case as I understand that the Special was created to use up parts as Hudson was merging.
