Picked up a good working am/fm delco radio, did not have the sticker on it,but does light up to the light green light, that will work for 68-71 years. My question is, I have a after market corvette radio with rear speakers, when I install the delco can I still run my rear speakers or just run the front.I heard the delcos should only run on 8-10 ohm speakers, the rear speakers are small. JC VETTE 702009-03-13 19:49:56

Jimmy, you should be able to connect the rear speakers. I would recommend that you do a trial hook up with everything before you finialize everything. If you have any problems you can always add a booster amplifier. Good luck and let us know how things work out. 

did your radio come with the heat sink, got to have it, if it is a stereo model you got to have the multiplex assembly and heat sink, early c-3's  radios only came with two speakers, top of the dash or kicker panel, its nice to have a stock radio but these radio's aren't very powerful, can't hear them very well, these car's are noisey going down the road  especialey with headers and flows, the radio only has two plug ins for the speakers, you might add an amp, lft. and rgt. speakers IN  to amp, four speakers out, front lft. and rgt. speakers to top of dash, rear lft. and rgt. speakers to kick panels or wherever your rears are located, adjust volumn between both sets of speakers with the fader  adjustment, with the amp you might not be limited to 8-10 ohm speakers, I put my rears in the kicks, rear speaker enclosures doesn't leave room for tops or whatever.....................HOLD ON, I made a mistake, I just remembered that the stock delco radio doesn't have a rear fader just a left and right adjustment, no problem,  lets start over, left & right speakers OUT of radio to IN amp left & right  speaker,.... OUT of amp left front & rear speakers to  top of dash,...... OUT of amp right front & rear speakers TO kick pad or wherever your  rears are located, now you can fade your top to bottom or front to back set of speakers  with your left to right adjustment on the radio. Man, this can be complicated, I'am doing this from memory, I don't have a set of amp instructions before me,  Iam 90% sure this is right, please forgive me if I'am not, anyone else?anips2009-03-21 13:07:46

Jim, you have to have the heat sink regardless, its part of the radio circuit, it has two transistors in it, no heat sink no work, I sent you a PM.
