Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 118 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 118 | I'm installing a 1972 delco am/fm into my '68 burb and have a question about the antenna hook up. Does anybody know how the antenna hooks up on these radios? It doesn't have the typical pin plug in type on the back of the radio. I have power to the radio but no sound. I cannot figure out the antenna. Also, should it be that the radio won't power unless the antenna is plugged in even with a power supply wire to the radio already??? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | There is a hole somewhere in that radio for the ant. con. . They used the standard connector for many years. You should have power going to the radio regardles of the ant. Be sure it is grounded. & the speakers are hooked up correctly.

It won't use a 6 or 9 pin plug but a plain old single stick plug. What kind of antenna do you have?

Can I run two 8 ohm speakers off the old radio w/o harming it and what size fuse? Owners manual says a 3 amp, but this is a slightly newer (72) radio than the burb is (shes a 68) | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 |
