I bought an OEM radio and I want to swap it back into my '72 to replace the broken 1970's Pioneer that was in there.

I just want to make sure I don't put the power wire to the speaker...

Or if anyone knows what color is what. Even my '72 FSM doesn't say exactly what color wire does what...

I looked and looked at that diagram and I just don't see the radio. Is it just me?

here's another

That looks exactly like the wiring diagram in my '72 FSM, and it doesn't show the radio wiring... just like my '72 FSM...

Now THAT one works! Unfortunately, it's missing one wire... hmmm... Mine has 5 wires including the ground (6 including the Antenna) and that diagram shows only 4...

I'm starting to think this radio came out of a different year...

My 1972 Datsun 240Z (build date 10/71) has the following wires and destinations:

Black w/rca plug= Antenna

Red/blue wire= dial light

Blue/fuzed = Power into (3 connector)

gray= speaker

blue/gray= speaker

Antenna switch= 3 wires into T connector. solid blue at top of "T", blue w/red stripe left side of "T", blue w/white stripe to right side of "T".

Hope this helps. If you need more info pm me....
