Since the wiring in these cars are nearly non existent, i would like to install a single din deck and would like to know how to wire it up. Would this connect directly to the fuse block? I am looking at something like this:

My other concern is if the trim plate will cover the opening. I am open to recommendtions/suggestions on this.
Thanks

Check those two top spades to see if they are switched or constant power. The factory radio will have a switch power connection for you. The modern radio will need a constant power source too for memory.


I would look into a glove box mounting kit if you have not already. cutting up the dash just kills resale value.


I would look for a radio delete plate for the trim or just leave the stock radio in place. Now one will try and steel your radio if they see the old crappy AM radio.

I have no radio in place at the moment. Does the radio in the glove box get hot? If I get the radio delete plate, that that consist of the whole bezel to.

They also make modern radios to fit properly in the dash. One is a little pricy at $600 but looks just like the original radio. Some others are less expensive but don't look exactly original. Check out Ames Performance or other catalog places. just a thought in case you hadn't considered.

This works well and you can still find these under dash buckets at the radio shops. Totally reversible.

Thanks for the input. Still looking at options since I dont have a radio at all in place, just the cutouts are there,
I was thinking about something like this:

My concern is hiding the knob openings on the dash metal work.
