I have a spare radio that worked somewhere amongst many spare parts I have
collected over the years. the original radio was marked as British Leyland.
I believe the three wires were the hot, the ground, and one wire to the
speaker (the other speaker wire was grounded somewhere on that passenger
side). I believe the hot wire is green with a pink or red line, but since I
couldn't find my old radio, the possibility of error is greater.
They are nice looking radios, AM/FM, but monophonic. I switched to a stereo
caseete model many years ago, mainly because the rural areas I drive in have
few if any radio stations.
I should mention that my visit to the garage was short. The temperature is
dropping rapidly outside as a cold front approaches. So tomorrow I am going
to drive my other car - the one with the heater.
It may be no speed limit tomorrow but it sure will be cold in Montana -
