A good diagram will be in color. It will require your to look up under the dash, which is awkward at best. As I've replaced/repaired a lot of stuff under there, I've found it's easier to unscrew the fuse box bolts from the dash lip (this gives the wires a little slack, and you can see better). You will probably want to unscrew the light switch so you can see the terminal numbers. The main idea is to find the lead that goes to your headlights, and then attach the marker lights to it. Do you know the green light that comes on in your left cluster when you have only the parking lights on, and goes off with the headlights? Well on my '66, the marker lights were on the same lead (at the switch) as this dash light. You can buy "double slide-on" clips so you won't have to cut/splice any wires. Good luck.
