In that spirit, I have my own PDF scans from the 1966 and 1967 Corvair electrical schematics that I can offer, but PDFs don't upload here, I guess. I often find that the 1965 is the most common one online, so I think these may be valuable to someone else. Is there somewhere I can send them?
Adobe Reader (.pdf) files can be uploaded and shared on the Corvair Forum. However, they are limited by a maximum file size. For example, the complete 1965 Corvair Chassis Shop Manual has a file size of 132,835 KB, which the Corvair forum operating system blocks because of the large file size (not because it is a .pdf file). But whenI broke the manual down into separate chapters, none of the individual chapters exceeded 20,000 KB. The largest chapter was
1965 Corvair Chassis Shop Manual - SECTION 6 - ENGINE, at 19,840 KB, which uploads to the Corvair Forum with no problem.
It is also possible to capture a page or a portion of a page, such as a schematic diagram, illustration, or a portion of a text displayed in
Adobe Reader by using
EDIT >> Take a Snapshot to capture the image to the Windows clipboard, and then paste that image into a photograph editor program like
Corel PaintShop Pro or another application like
Microsoft Word or
Microsoft PowerPoint. From there the image(s) can be saved in many formats, including Word documents, JPEG image files, etc. The three pages of Shop Manual schematics were captured in this way, and pasted into PowerPoint for editing and grouping into a single large schematic, and then saved as a JPEG image file for enlarged viewing and scanning on the Corvair Forum.
You can send someone an email with a large .pdf file attachment, but if you plan on uploading a .pdf file on the Corvair Forum, the file size must be small enough to be accepted by the website software. Most captured images that are save as photo images, such as JPEG (.jpg) images, are small enough to be directly uploaded as attachments to a post.

...from what I could tell, the orange wire only powered the door jams and dome light, but I will look again. That is a clue I had not been given before...
There appear to be two power feeds to the light switch. The primary feed is an unswitched/unfused (14R RED) wire that is distributed to the headlight circuits and lighting circuits that work even with the ignition key OFF. Some light circuits only function with the key ON. Those may be powered by the fused power wire (20 B/OR) that originates at the fuse block.
...I have spent hours on end printing and reprinting my schematic from the 1966 supplement, and then tracing things with colored pens. I know that the brown wire is most likely my problem, because when I do bridge my own power to it (through the main light switch multi-connector) every light that should come on, does. Yes, even the license plate light...
If you are getting functional tail light and license plate lights by connecting a temporary voltage source to the brown wire at the main light switch, you are proving the functionality of the brown wire circuit throughout the vehicle. Is voltage present at the associated pin output from the light switch (or is there electrical continuity from the RED input terminal to the BROWN output terminal at the light switch with the switch ON? If the switch is new and/or tests good with an OHM RESISTANCE test from the RED to the BROWN terminal, and the brown wire tests good from the connector to the bulbs, then perhaps the failure point is between the old electrical connector and the light switch when you plug the two together. The connector may be faulty.
