Then got  to wondering.  How hard would it be to hook up an mp3 input jack to
an  FM converter equipped car?  My 63 Monza has an original AM radio with  an
FM converter.  Has anyone out there ever tried to hook an mp3  player to the
FM converter?  Or would it be easier ­ cheaper to  just spend the 75 to 
100
clams for a radio that has a jack built in  already?  I would love to hear
from anyone with experience in this  kind of madness.




If stock appearance is important, you can do what many people have done and  
use the small FM transmitters. The sound quality takes a hit. But since the  
signal will be taking the convoluted route from the MP3 player, through an FM  
transmitter to the FM converter to the AM radio, chances are it won't sound 
much  different than the AM signal you are used to! If you do change radios, - 
much  easier to do on an early than on a late, get the one with the mini-jack 
on the  front. Several new ones even have a USB jack and/or an SDRAM slot on 
the front.  Plug in and play your music. - Except for Hank. If you do update the 
early,  There are neat speaker-mount brackets that Corvair Underground sells. 
They  mount the speakers on the kick panels down in the foot wells. -  Seth
