Progress

Timing off, distributor in 180* out plus one tooth, housing was twisted around 180* also

Cylinder 8 dead, guy had smashed the gap shut on the plug, all plugs way over tapped and none were tight

Vacuum advance hooked to the wrong spot on the Carb, so now she runs much better smokes tire into 2 nd chirps third

Onto the next issue, no tunes! Pulled the radio, they removed the harness so radio is now trash WTF!?!

Went to my buddies junk yard and grabbed an original Motorola from a 1981 camaro, free

Radio has a decal for colors on speaker wires but not power
Also big honk in decal Motorola USA made in texas
Here is a pic anyone know what these wires go to? I assume the black is ground and yellow is power? But what's the grey?

Hoping this fits and works

Pics deleted
