Wow okay you've got a lot to do, I've gotta figure out why mines not starting. Flat and polish it, learn how to clean it to perfection for show n shine and put interior together once my gauges are working lol

the radio should just be powered from a switched and live 12v source? can fluctuate obviously..
Apr 03 2014 06:04 PM -
MrElliott
should there still be 12v when the ignition key is at the 0 mark? i just get next to no voltage from any wires when the key is in the 0 position

RossKnight
You can get a constant 12v feed even when there's no key in the ignition. A radio will need one of these constant feeds to keep the memory for stations etc. And it will also require a 'switched 12v' so something that only comes on when the key is turned.

Yup. A Victorian periodical called The Savoy that had a signed message in it. It's going to pay for my Monaco Grand Prix road trip next month!
