<VV> Part needed new info, correction

[Frank DuVal]

OK, get ready for it....

I'm wrong!

The 65 shop manual almost clearly shows the breaker for the power top 
mounted along the frame rail next to the battery.
Page 12-22, figure 44.

Interesting though, the wiring diagram on page 12-27 figure 49 does not 
show a breaker for power top models, just the junction block (aka HRPT).

So, earlies have the breaker under the dash and lates have the breaker 
in the engine compartment.

More earlies than lates with power tops.
OK, I have no power top lates...

>Frank, I beg to differ. My '69 Convert #2891 w/ power top (28,000 original miles) has the exact same thing in the exact same location. It's the combination circuit breaker/junction post. This car does not have the red junction post. My '69 convert #5044 w/ manual top has the red plastic junction post.
