Good evening,

I am trying to install a new wire for the dome light of my deluxe coupe. I can't find a path to feed the wire around the top corner of the pillar. Page 468 of the Service Bulletins shows what the sketch of the town sedan calls a "wire conduit" at the top of the pillar. The sketch of the coupe also shows this part, but doesn't label it Can anyone help me to find this "conduit" or the correct wire route.

For the strange-findings file: There was no windshield wiper on this car when I bought it. The vacuum wiper was apparently converted to electric at some point. The hole in the intake manifold was plugged with a grease fitting. Behind the upholstery panel on the front header I found three wires connected. Each had a ring-tongue terminal, and the terminals were joined by a wood screw into the header. I think that this was how the dome light wire was tapped to supply the wiper motor.
