He said it was a decent radio that wouldn't keep the presets. I took that as meaning an aftermarket radio of decent quality. The stock radio wouldn't have had electronic presets. I don't think the digital Delco was available yet in '84 and it appears to be a low-option Burb anyway.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought he meant too. Otherwise he wouldn't even need a constant power supply.

Those are most likely the wires to the factory radio (YEL is the power and the BLK is the ground). There should be a gray wire with them or somewhere nearby. That would have been for the radio's backlighting - from the instrument lighting circuit.

Hey, if you run across a black wire with a yellow tracer between the ashtray and guage bezel it is NOT a ground.

In one of my jackass moments, I could not for the life of me get any continuity out of it with my meter no matter how many times I probed that damn thing. Eventually, I realized it was a piece of fiber optic to send light to the lighter. Live and learn.
