Default Radio plug help

Relying of the very knowledgeable forum members (again). I am trying to hunt down the correct wire harness plug for my Delco 8track AM/FM radio. So far I have purchased the two below with no luck. Can anyone tell me what I need? I have all the wiring, just need the plug. Pic is of the back of the radio and radio details below:



Purchased so far:
Scosche GM01RB 1978 -87 GM Car Stereo Connector
ebay auction number 230084623219

Also got these pig tails from MACK
ebay auction number 110858888382


Radio details:
The Service Reference number is : 70HFMT2
GM Part 7898160

7=1977 model year

0="corporate shared". Many GM radios were designed to be non-model-specific to save on costs and simplify assembly.

H="H" body

FMT=2700 series manually tuned radio featuring am/fm stereo and 8 track tape player.

2=second design run, this run featured a new fader and new switch.




Thanks!

A while back in another thread I suggested your problem wasn't with the connector set you bought but with the radio.
It didn't appear to be a Corvette radio. You never posted the front pic.
I believe it's a full size GM radio from just before they were made more interchangeable and Corvette friendly.

This connector set MAY be what you need......

According to your numbers, it looks like you have the right radio. These connections are the right ones, he has just added extra wires for rear speakers
