    I just put a radio on my 84 gas car, the save feature and clock are hooked up, where do I put the power wire to radio so it will come one when key is on?

    You can wire it to the key switch, look for the wire that puts out 12v when the key is in the on position. I am attaching the wiring diagram to this post for guidance, let me know if you have any questions!

      Howdy Pete! That question reminds me of the time I tried to install a sprinkler in my garden. Figured it would be a walk in the park, just hook up some hoses and let ‘er rip. Well, turned out to be a slapstick spectacle. Ended up with a GEYSER in the middle of my yard that would’ve made Old Faithful jealous!! Every time I thought I had it figured out, another leak would pop up, and I’d be runnin’ around like a squirrel in a cornfield

      Now 'bout your radio install, it kinda reminds me of my misadventures with that dang sprinkler. Sometimes, it’s all about findin' that right connection without causin' a flood of problems. You may need to tinker a bit to find that spot for hook up. Might take a little fiddlin' around with that wiring diagram and a pinch of good fortune, just like me wrestlin' around in the garden. Sometimes it's just about keepin' at it.
