The radio is in two pieces. The heat sink part is the amplifier...the tuner section is little more than just a tuner. The amp section attaches to the bulkhead behind the passenger side of the dash.
Without having it front of me to verify, you will have one wire harness connecting the tuner to the amp. You'll also have another harness that contains a power lead for the tuner and it's illuminating light, a ground and wires to the speakers. I'm not sure, but the amp/heat sink may well have a power lead and ground as well but those may run in the harness between the two units.

Brian,
For my '68, the flat 3 spade connector w/ the black (ground), gray (light), & yellow (power) is for the radio's power from the fuse block.
The amp harness is 2 on 1 spade connector with yellow, blue, & green wires.
Each front speaker has a black & green wire with a connector that I believe plugs into a harness that comes out of the radio, but that part is missing from mine.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
