Ron:  I checked the schematics in the 66 Chassis Shop Manual Supplement and 
could not find any Black/Pink wires listed.  You may have a 65 wiring 
harness in your car.  In 65, the Black wires with a Pink tracer were used as 
the UNFUSED feeds from the ignition switch to the ignition loads.  In the 65 
schematics, the Black/Pink wires feed:
1.  High Temperature Buzzer (if equipped) which appears to be the only two 
terminal connector in the Black/Pink circuits.
2.  Ignition coil positive terminal (+), fed through a ballast resistance in 
the wiring harness.
3.  Instrument cluster (+) feed for fuel guage,Gen/Fan and Temp/Press 
lights, and if equiped, the Tachometer and Cylinder Temp Guage.
4.   Also connects to the starter which will back-feed the circuit, through 
the ignition coil ballast when the starter is engaged.

Acording to the 66 schematic, the same stuff is fed with Pink wires.  If 
your car has a mix of 65 & 66 wiring harnesses the colors may be both.

If the car still runs, and the other stuff still works, you may have only 
burned up the feed to the high temp buzzer which probably was never 
installed anyway, I have never seen (heard) one.

Sorry I didnt get this info. to you sooner, but I just got to check my 
e-mail for the first time in a week.
