Sounds about right. You really ought to have the '73 Olds Chassis service manual. You can get them quite inexpensively on ebay (I got one for $10 plus shipping), and they're invaluable for wiring issues. The diagrams show all the wire colors and where, exactly, they go. There's also good diagrams showing how wiring and wiring harnesses are routed under the hood. As I say, invaluable.
