The Spitfire is a 1980. And the radio is an 8-Track, so neither one is what you would call modern (neither am I, for that matter). The radio and heater are both disconnected now. What I am trying to

Quoting Tburke4@aol.com: That's pretty modern for a spitty! If you mail me in a week I'll have the diagrams handy. I composed a lengthy reply about this this morning but I think my webmail threw it a

Is it by chance a wire inside the "change box" area under the dash, to the left of the steering column? There's one wire I had for the fan relay. It had an inline fuse that never blew. INstead, it wo
