Which wire? Radio! AM/FM

My dash is missing the plug for this radio, it is a different year than my car.
Does anyone have an extra plug or can anyone tell me then correct order.

Thanks!

They used radios with that plug from 1971-76 on the big cars and 73-76 on Cutlass, maybe a couple years after that. A good radio supply store might have a plug you can adapt to your car. If not, you'll need to get a plug from a junkyard car.

Look on the bottom of the radio case. There should be a wire plug diagram stamped into the metal case. I'm looking at an AM-FM-cassette with that same plug and it has it on there.

What do you aim to put it in? These radios have separate + and - leads for each speaker and seems I remember if you connect ground leads together they will do strange things, so you'll need four speakers, each with its own + and - wire.

There are 3 plugs for that radio. In the late 70's to mid 80's the plugs where blue, black and white. but I forget the order they go in.

I'll find out after I get the radio plate from another member on here I have a late 70's cassette going in the car and get rid of that crappy aftermarket Sony CD player that's in there now. Also I picked up a new clock, not the digital drum clock, I think they look ghetto. I picked up an analog clock from a 78 98. The back is smaller and it uses 2 194 bulbs. I have an extra pack of SilverStars in the glove box

Nope. This is a single plug unit. It's different from the late-70s/early-80s radios. I put a mid-80s digital AM-FM-cassette in my 76 Ninety Eight and the two plugs were absolutely incompatible.
