radio wires on a 62 vette
hey can anyone help me out on my 62 vette. I need to know what wires are what on the wonderbar radio and how they go in the back of the the wonderbar reason i ask is because i had the wonderbar redone and want ot get it installed and corerectly soon as possible. I need to know what wires are what & what color they are and how they go to the back of the radio, also isnt there a seperate ground wire grounding off the housing of the radio body for the ground? Pics would be great as well thanks guys for any future help....

IIRC isn't it just a connector on the Wonderbar that connects into another one in the wiring harness ? (and of course you have to connect the thick antenna wire). The mounting strap for the radio case is usually the ground for the antenna. The original speakers are just a couple of separate wires.
I'm hoping your wiring hasn't been butchered so that you have to splice everything back together.
Here is a wiring diagram that may help some:

1. The harness for power to the radio and its light are in the photo previously shown.
2. There's another 2 wire harness coming out of the radio to the speaker.
3. There's the antenna cable that goes into the radio.
4. Finally, there's a dedicated ground wire. It's either solid black or black with a white stripe. The wiring diagram will tell you for sure. It's got 1/4" ring terminals on both ends. It goes from where the support strap attaches on the back side of the radio to the inboard rear valve cover bolt.
