Chipping away at the details:
This weekend I finished up under the dash.
- Finished the defroster hose.
- Wired up the heater fan control.
- Installed my working quartz clock.
- Installed the antenna for the 608 Radio.
- Installed 5" combo speakers under the dash for my JVC KD-S17 12vdc radio.
- Installed the radio in the glove compartment.
- Wired in a 6vdc positive ground converted which converts to 12vdc negative ground. The PGPI-HC can provide 2.1 amps continuously. This is more then enough amps to power a standard AM/FM radio.
- I wired the cigarette lighter assembly to the 12vdc negative ground circuit to power a GPS or cell phone charger.
So I have the best of both worlds a working stock tube radio and a standard modern AM/FM/CD radio. Just need to find the ash tray and install it in the dash along with the glove bock door.
