AM FM 8-track

I bought an Am FM 8-track at Carlisle $35.It came out of a 78 Chevy.It's supposed to work but has a lot of wires probably right,left,front,back.hot and ground.Dose any one have a schematic for a 78 chevy? Is it the same as Olds?I could probably figure it out but if some already knows it would be a lot better/easier .
Time to upgrade that factory Am with the latest tech.
Thanks railguy

Do you want to upgrade that with a 8-track to cassette adapter? $15.00 shipped. You will really be styling and the babes will flock to your car.. Seriously $15.00 shipped. Worked good last time used. I don't have an 8-track anymore. Been sitting and is dirty. I can clean it up but you might need to run a cassette cleaner tape through it now. Sparkamatic brand.

If you REALLY want to upgrade, plug an MP3 cassette adapter into that cassette-to-8 track adapter before plugging THAT one into your 8 track.

Wait, don't. I can see that upsetting the very fabric of the universe.

Come on guys, don't be so jealous just because you aren't getting it. Ease up a bit, I have him on the hook and am reeling him in. After the shipping charges I might have a whole $8.19 left over and I am strapped for $. With that $8.18 ( damn inflation moves fast) I could buy me 2 gallons of gas and maybe a candy bar. At 10mpg that is 20 miles and if I end up needing to walk the last 20 miles I'm gonna be pi$$ed. Do you have any idea how long it takes an old fart to walk 20 miles. I used to be able to buy a candy bar for 5 cents and a gallon of gas for 18 cents. What the hell happened.
