Here are the best places to look:
* Chevrolet repair manuals: A factory service manual (FSM) for your specific 1976 Chevy model is the most reliable source. These manuals are often available through online retailers like eBay, Amazon, or specialty auto parts stores. Look for one that specifically says "1976 Chevrolet [Your Model] Service Manual."
* Online forums and communities: Websites and forums dedicated to classic Chevy enthusiasts (e.g., specific model forums like "Chevelle.com" if that's your model) are a good resource. Members often share information, including wiring diagrams, and can help you identify your specific fuse box if you're unsure.
* Haynes or Chilton repair manuals: These are less detailed than factory manuals, but they are more readily available and often include simplified wiring diagrams. Again, make sure you get the one specific to your 1976 Chevy model.
* Online parts retailers: Some parts retailers like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts might have schematics or diagrams available for download on their websites, though this is less common for older vehicles. Try searching their websites using your vehicle's year, make, and model.
Important Considerations:
* Fuse box location: The fuse box location can vary depending on the Chevy model. It's usually under the dash or in the engine compartment. Check your owner's manual (if you have it) for its location.
* Diagram detail: Keep in mind that even a factory diagram can be complex. It will use symbols and colors to represent wires and components.
* Safety first: Working with car electrical systems can be dangerous. Always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before starting any electrical work.
Before searching, you absolutely must know the *exact make and model* of your 1976 Chevy (e.g., 1976 Chevrolet Impala, 1976 Chevrolet C10 pickup). This information is crucial to finding the correct wiring diagram.
