I'm in the process of a complete under hood restoration of my 72 SSP. I'm looking for photos that show the original colors for the wiper motor, power brake booster, etc... I would also like to see photos showing the factory correct firewalls and the method for the wiring harness installation. Was the wiring harness ran inside the "standard" black corrugated tubing? My goal is to restore the engine compartment back to original as possible.

What plant was your car assembled at? Was it a 2 or 3 speed wiper car? I have some pics of an unrestored 71 SSP if that would help you any?
 
Made it home so here is a picture of the 71 Satellite that I mentioned....hope it helps.

My car was assembled at St. Louis and it is a 3 speed wiper motor. Any photos you have will help.
 
Here is my unrestored 72 SSP, the Original Owners grandson pulled the engine and rebuilt it added 4bbl. I don't know what else he replaced but it looks undisturbed except for washer bottle etc. 57,000 original miles.

IMG_2690 (Large).jpgHere is my 70 GTX, I'm showing you this so you can see a correctly detailed 3 speed wiper motor and although I have a different booster than you would it too is restored correctly.
I use Booster Dewey for my boosters and Jules the wiper man ( he's on Moparts all the time) for my wiper motors.

IMG_0285 (Large).jpgIMG_0287 (Large).jpgHere is my old Satellite Sebring Plus underhood. Mine had 2 speed wipers so it is Black and it has probably the same style booster as yours but I used an Eastwood paint back then instead of having it Cadmium Plated
 
Here is the correct 72 Midland disc brake booster done by Theramman.com
The 72 3-spd wiper motor was done by Bruce Somer in Calf.
