Re: 65 won't start

sounds like maybe you got the ign and batt wires backwards on the radio and ran the battery dead. I have done that, because the batt wire on almost all aftermarket radios is yellow, normally expect it to be red, and the ign wire on almost all aftermarket radios is red, anyone who has ever worked on a GM knows the ign wire in the dash is yellow

if you get them backwards the radio will turn on and off with the key but will lose memory stations, and the draw will kill the battery in a couple hours.
