I don't care much about audio quality. I mostly listen to news-talk, audio books and podcasts in the car. On the rare occasions I listen to music, it is usually from the era of the car, so no boom-boom-bass or deathmetal crap. All of my OEM radios work. I would be happy with something that...

Yes.

A kill switch is quite simple, and interrupting the distributor (vs coil) is the way to go. However, that does nothing for people opening doors, etc. I have plans for a rather nice armrest/console that will just sit on a bench seat. I don't want to lose that if I decide to leave the top down at...

Oh yeah, here"s your post-clue.

Anyone have one? Just looking for something that would detect motion/interior lights and ignition/starter disable. Prefer something with a keyfob. No other features (locks, lojack, remote start, etc.) desired. I don't want to roll windows up every time I go in the party store for my blunts...

Well @Big_John, you better hide from me at Carlise. I knew I'd seen this problem before, but I remembered nothing of the cure, so I'd have been starting from ground zero. For once, the internet solved a problem! I didn't bother connecting the headlights because It's just mocked up before I...

I am gonna go check this out... if you are right and just saved me an hour of combing through diagrams, I'm gonna givea you a big a hug!

Thanks for the condolences. Consequences of being a summertime daily + poorly thought out road construction projects. I was the last one into a chain-reaction multicar at the top of a hill. Thankfully the fenders were untouched. Hagerty actually totaled it, but let me buy it back for $700. I...

I have a feeling I've seen this problem before and thought I'd ask before re-inventing the wheel and combing through wiring diagrams. This is a Late B-body, but the wiring and components would be the same on any C-body. You may recall that my Magnum took a little poke in the front end last...

By train-wreck, I mean the firing line of answers completely unrelated to your issue, not your car. I don't feel like I could even get a question in about your fuel leak before it gets buried under suggestions for a new method to energize the coil, so that's why I'm not in the thread. Trust me...

That's funny... I don't really hang out there, but I've read enough of their threads to see they tend to diagnose problems as opposed to throwing parts. I imagine that's because of the prohibition on whiz-bang shinola post 1965, but I didn't know it was an actual policy.

I read it. What a train wreck. My gawd do I feel sorry for the neophyte who must rely upon message boards. My serious advice for the OP would be to join this message board... The H.A.M.B. ...for general mechanical issues and use this forum to chase down specific trim parts or to BS.

Did I miss something where that was part of the question?

1955 (ish) as an Imperial option, but it was super expensive and dropped after a year. Then I think maybe '65? Probably always 6V tubes, that's more/less the standard outside the auto radio world.

The FCC doesn't do jack anymore, except sell spectrum to cell phone companies and bless monopolies.

There are a lot of 50k legacy stations, (WJR being one) CKLW and KOA (Denver)? I think the blaster Mexican stations are 100k.

Good post. I will add... Daily-driving a car with a 1976 AM/FM mono radio in your area, I can pull this 1000 watt AM station (WMIC) from Sandusky, MI all the way from Auburn Hills to St. Clair Shores. Static around power lines, but better noise rejection than any newer car radio. Also have a...

That's what I've heard. The guys on the feet forums say the titanium versions kick *** at the Olympics.

It never seems to occur to people that dim lights and poor charging weren't acceptable when these cars were new (nor was overheating in traffic, hard starting, etc.). Thus the "cure" might be diagnosing the real issue. I'd go on, but I'm scheduled for surgery to replace my no-arch feet with...

I see the phenomenon of throwing the most expensive parts at a problem (because that worked one time 25 years ago) is not limited to the C-body board.
