Does anyone know where I can purchase a wiring diagram for my 59 3600 on something bigger than what is in my repair manual? I would love to find one on an 11"x 17" sheet of paper. It seems that the older I get the closer those lines get together.
Thanks,
Rick -

Check eBay item #371482323371 11" x 17" as required, heck it is even laminated!

I use a magnifying glass to read those. Then sketch my own wiring diagram for the area I'm working on. Not that many wires. You could draw the whole thing in an hour or less on some printer paper (two of those together is 11 x 17) or use an online drawing app. But then again, I used to do that for a living.

One of the business form places like Staples or Office Depot should be able to do a blowup of the service manual page and print it for you into a larger format. I've had pretty good luck using the Control and + buttons on the computer to enlarge a scanned print if it doesn't pixel out in the process.

I can magnify it with my printer. My problem is, I can't read Elecronese.

Thanks for the great feedback. I like the idea of taking the page out of the manual to Office Depot and blowing it up. My book is so old, and the pages have all yellowed. If it doesn't work I'll definitely check out E-bay. Heck. E-bay has everything... I should have thought of that myself.

I took a copy of the wiring diagram for my truck from one of the ones suggested here on Stovebolt and had it blown up at the local blueprint shop - $3.00 Canadian - which is like 10 cents American these days.

I used one that I found on line that was color coded for a 55 2nd. series. I took it to office depot and had it done on a 1ft by 2 ft. sheet. Then I had it laminated so I could take it under the truck while chasing down gremlins. Best part it can get wet or oily and just wipe it off stand it back up and keep working.
