HELP, what is this wire on 1967 schematic???

[Domenic T.]

I have identified all my wires and capacitors (radio). Checked U- 69/A4 in the AIM, figure 119 section 12-76 of the chassis service manual and there seems to be a #12 brown wire that says " radio capacitor conn. I do not see a place for this wire?
It has power and a male end. The plastic cover is missing on the wire in my car so there is a powered wire with no place to go. The wire comes out of the main harness right behind the radio. There is a gang connector (brown #12 wires) near by but that does not have a place empty to connect the brown wire in question. Someone please get me out of my misery!!

Dom -

That brown wire connects to the radio noise suppression capacitor that's mounted adjacent to the ignition switch - it has a female connector that mates with the connector on the brown wire. Shown in section U69, sheet A4, item #5. See photo below.

John,
Thank's a bunch, just didn't look right but now it's clear. Wish they would show capacitor symbols in the schematics. Also with the cluster laying on the bench face down I didn't reverse my thinking. I would not have made a good Dentist. Much appreciated for getting me to look at it correctly.

Dom check out Dr Rebuilds Oso Ez wire diagrams.
