Putting a Chrysler car radio in a Ford

Understood.

The second alternator confused the crap out of the gas jockeys. That, and all the chrome & polished aluminum under the hood, along with the 1 AWG welding cable I made the custom battery cables from. By the time they realized I had a three speed automatic they were babbling. After all, everyone KNEW it was impossible to fit it under a '66 GTO. ;-)

There is, or was a guy in Alabama and he built and sold some high powered super duper CB Radios.I heard about him when I was listening to CB radio over ten years ago.The amplifiers for those radios required several alternators.He mostly sold those suped up radios to 18 wheeler truck drivers.I once heard tell if the CB radio's antenna was aimed at a car, it would fry the car's electronics and stop the engine stone cold dead. Have any of y'all ever heard of that guy before? cuhulin

Heard of him? Hell, dude, that was my cousin. Those monster amplifiers really could fry a car's electronics. The cops still use 'em down in Mississippi to stop people who are trying to run from them. Too bad they're illegal in all the other states.

They've also been known to knock the fillings right out of your teeth, and cause women to have spontaneous orgasms. The "Big Daddy" version used to sell for $28,000, and it put out 50,000 watts. Of course it had a bank of sixteen KT88s with solid gold pins.

Anyway, my cousin passed away six years ago, syphilis you know, so you can't get those things anymore. Saw one on eBay a couple years back, but it sold for $90,000 to some collector in Eastern Europe.

Neighbor used to own a 66 Ventura convertible with a 352 CUI 4bbl 8 under the hood. Wish I had one sitting in my drive that was a fantastically fun car. But the Goat was my favorite muscle car followed by the Mopars.

It was red, with a black and woodgrain interior. It had the soft shell doors, and several modifications that the Pontiac garage said couldn't be done. :)

I didn't get to install it, but I built a "Factory" AM/FM/Stereo radio from Delco parts, starting with a new surplus 72 buick radio. The only thing I let slide was there was no stereo indicator in the dial. :( I even tracked down the under dash Delco 8-track tape player, with the chrome that matched the console.

I never did find out what the top end speed was. I had the speedometer off the scale more than once, and bent a push rod each time.
