I bought a reconditioned Delco stereo that came out of a ‘72 442. I see a number stamped on the front that reads 7310895. The paper label is missing that would also contain something like 03AFM1. Would I need to know this type of exact number to order a radio service manual for this particular year radio, or would any radio service manual containing wiring diagrams from ‘72 be okay?

 

There is only one manual for each model year. It covers all the factory radios in that year.

 

Thank you Joe!

 

Joe, does that book have external wiring only does it include the full schematics for each radio for that year? I didn't even know those existed, very cool.

 

It has the internal schematics for the radio

 

Steve, you can get a copy of Sam's Photofacts off Ebay for $5-10.00 These were what radio guys used to repair auto radios. Each month they would post a few complete instructions to fix auto radios and 8-tracks. It says on the cover which model radios are inside the book(s). I have probably 50 of them around here, but can't find them!

 

I actually just ordered one of those. Thank you!
