Wiring diagrams for the chassis are hard to come by for a pinto. I havent been able to locate any. I got a book for a mustang II and just puzzled it out.

You can get the factory "Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manuals" on ebay at a reasonable price.  There is presently one on ebay for a 78 Pinto: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978-Ford-Pinto-Bobcat-Electrical-Shop-Manual_W0QQitemZ130007465978QQihZ003QQcategoryZ6759QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.
I have not seen these manuals for earlier Pintos though.

Sorry for the late response, I should look at these posts more often.
