You may want to swap out the fuse block on yours to a 4 fuse block of a
later car if you still have a 2 fuse unit. Thne just run 12v to the
radio from a switched fuse....or always remember to shut off the radio.
Use the chassis as a ground. MAKE SURE IT IS FUSED..UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCE RUN AND UNFUSED 12v TO THE RADIO...too much stuff under the
dasj to light on fire!!
