If you're going to change the carb change everything. Itll run better then having the feedback carb missing and there's just as much or more of a chance of the computer not working right.

I've got the parts order so now just waiting. Trying to get this radio out. I don't know if they all had this bolt but it's aggravating

It seems to be hit and miss for that security bolt. I've only run across it a couple times but there's a cheap socket you can get for it with the other regular radio removal tools like the Ford wire loops.

Ugh, PITA. My '89 AHB had one and I ordered the bit online. I tried without one but it was a no go for me. It was just too darn tight.

I got them out today. Orielys didn't have one so I went to the local car audio shop and he let me borrow it. Said it's the first time he had to use it

Chrysler's code for Police Package. Shows on fender tag. Middle left "AHB" and second from bottom row, to right "ELE" meaning HD 4bbl. This is my '89. Also eighth character in VIN "S" meaning HD 4 barrel. a "P" would be civi 2 bbl and a "4" would be HD 2 bbl

My '82 had those, I used a small grinder to make a straight line, then unscrewed them with a flathead

Hard to imagine there was a time in which anyone would want to steal the stock stereos in these lol.. I'm sure you will, but don't put that security bolt back in, just use a hex head.

I can't remember what car I needed them for and what M body had them. I'm pretty sure one was an 88/89. Might have been one of the older years with the equalizer radio.

I remember in the 80s an AMC dealer painting on new cars outside, that the radios had been removed.

Parts are in. Probably put it all on tomorrow. Is there anything else I'll need when doing it ?

What plug wires will I need to ask for.

Depends on if you ordered a mopar style distributor cap or not. If you ordered one with a mopar cap you can use almost any set designed for a mopar small block v8. If you ordered a gm/ford style cap, you'll have to get a gm/ford style set of wires. Or make your own.
If you're keeping the ignition coil under the washer fluid bottle, you'll need that one long wire. Some aftermarket sets don't have it, they only have the short one.

Proform 66991: Electronic Distributor Conversion Kit for Chrysler/Mopar Small Blocks 273-360ci - JEGS. This is the one I ordered

Looks like a regular mopar style cap. Almost any small block mopar set of wires would work. Just watch out for the length of the coil wire.

Any small block cheysler wire set will work. Ive used mopar branded taylor wires and accell. Make sure you get one with the different length coil wires unless you want to move it. I don't like it on the fender myself but at least it keeps it away from heat snd vibration of the engine.
