[Roadsters] Reverse Light Wiring Help

[wattaj]

Thanks for all the responses.  With your help, I was able to check another
item off the list, and for almost no cost!
 
Now I am just hoping Spring falls
on a weekend this year. :-)

Alan,

Your assumption is correct.

If you see one "...wire coming off
the fuse box through the firewall...", you should see a second.  Both are
"red/black" -- red wires with a black stripes.  There should be a paired
connector about even with the side of the inner fender just above the frame. 
One lead will show +12V with the ignition switch on.  The other goes back
through the harness to the reverse lamp.  Both my cars (a '66 1600/U20 and a
'67-1/2 2000) have a two-wire lead in a plastic sheath which goes from the
connectors beneath the fuse box over the top of the trans to the reverse lamp
switch on the RH side of the trans.
