Dtret Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Because I’m no electrical guy,I’ll ask you guys. I currently have 71 am 8 track radio. Would like am/fm 8 track.still out of a 71. What wiring changes would have to be made. Or could I be so lucky as it could be plug and play. Literally. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant MacPherson Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I think if you have a 4 speaker car the plug is the same. here is mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Here is my 71 AM/FM stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Both are (9) pin Radios and interchangeable. No wiring changes needed if is Factory and unmolested. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Thanks guys. Mine is also a nice like Doug said but my plug is internal in the case and looks like the am/fm are external plugs. But if they are the same( but different) and use oe wiring I’m good with the change. I’m just not going to cut up my factory harness to do this.

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 If factory, the Plug connecting to Radio is 9 Pin Female plugging into Radio connection Male that provides the juice to operate the Radio. ALL the AM/FM/Cassette/8 Track Stereo Radios for this era were identical (9) Pin. The only Stereo Radio that was (6) Pin connection was the Stereo Mono (2) Front Stereo Speakers and only (1) Rear Speaker located on Passenger Side Package Tray as ALL AM Radios are (6) Pin. If this helps.......................... If Factory, you will have no problem removing and replacing without having to make any modification.
