    Darn. My diagrams are at home. Also not sure if mine are 73 specific/only. I'll check back here later and see if you got the answer.

    My diagrams for a '72 show LG/R (light green, red stripe) for the alternator and R/LG for the ignition.

    Possibly Rd/Gn leaving the 'C' term on the ign sw. Then connecting to a Pink wire (resistance) wire.
