I have a power antanae and it seems there is a pair of white wires splied together at the back of the old box
could those be the antanae wires?
also I just realized I already traced the rear wures from the pwr ant. So that should be cake. Doh!
So how do I get the radio to turn off with the car, or do a delay shutdown after the car is off? I bet that's what killed my radio before. Thanks again, always a life saver.

Subj: Re: [V8] Radio wiring, could use some help
The factory is as follows:
Red/Blue-Constant power from fuse 4 - also power for the amps
Brown-Ground
Gry/Blk-Interior lights system
There is no ignition power, as the radio is feed constant. There should be
power from either the Brn/Gry or the white wire for the antennae, the
schematic that I have is not 100% clear.
If you are using an aftermarket deck, the power antenna wire will be blue
off it. Does your car have a power antenna? From the factory they use an
antennae in the front window and one in the rear. They combine in the back
of the stock stereo.
