Re: New replacement radio for 55/56

My car was converted to negative ground prior to me purchasing the car so I am not entirely sure what is required to convert from Pos ground to Neg ground.

I haven't reinstalled the chrome bezel that goes around the radio yet but that will fit in with no problems. The dimensions of the face if the radio and location of the knobs are identical to the original radio. I did not have to make any modifications to the dash.

There is a space between the knob faders due to the extra length of the knobs. I will post a photo of this shortly. I'll also get the dimensions of the radio face and knob spacing and post those as well.

The wiring allows for 4 speakers to be connected. The original speaker won't work with this radio apparently from what the manual indicated. There is a positive and negative wire in the harness for easy connection and there is also a line out which allows the unit to be connected via an amplifier or other devices.
