    Default Howdy and of course HELLLPPPP

    Just an old man here who's doing an old school build on a '68 GTX. Today, strolling thru the flea Mkt, I found an old Kraco Component car stereo. Seperate Tuner, amp/eq, and cassette player. I couldn't resist it. Got it for $15 and I'd love to put this in the GTX. Only problem is there's no wiring diagram on the stereo itself, and I'm gonna have to guess unless someone knows.

    The wires outputtting are: white, green, orange, gray,blue, red, brown and black.

    The connections between the AMp/eq, casette player and tuner all have fitted terminals, I just need the main connection instructions.







    I hope these pics link, and I just want to say thanks in advance. If anyone can help, I'll love you forever and sing your praises to St Peter when we get there. BTW, there are no model numbers, serial numbers, name, nothing to help identify these pieces.

    First thing you should do is put a 3 amp or 5 amp fuse on the red wire. Then hook this up to 12 volts

    I would guess the black wire is ground

    Blue is probably antenna output, not used

    and orange is for illumination 12 volt parking lights

    I would guess that gray and white wires are output wires, put a meter on this and see if you get any voltage on this with volume output.

    Older radios like this usually just grounded all the - speaker wires together, grounded radio
