James - I don't think there is a an actual switch on our
radios to convert to FM. You might be thinking of a FM converter. I
recently installed one on my car. Its a small box - 4" x 5" x 2"
thick. I mounted it under dash just to right of steering column. It
conects to your AM radio. This box is what has the AM/FM switch.
Your AM radio has to be set on a certain frequency in order for the FM converter
to work. A friend of mine had 2 of these stored in his garage and gave me
one so I don't know if they are still available on the
market.
I personally don't like anything attached to the bottom
of my dash but the alternative is to take out the AM radio and send it to a
company (don't remember name offhand) and have them convert original radio to
AM/FM still retaining your original radio. Costs about $300 I think.
Lets see now, $300 for radio conversion, $568 for 4 new tires, $300 for a few
patch panels, $$$$$? new paint, hey, but its worth it. John Z

I understand that our original AM radios can be converted to
receive AM and FM. Has anyone done this? Does it work well? Where is the
switch located that switches one to the other?
Also, does anyone understand the relationship between the
ohms rating of the speaker and the radio?? I know that any general speaker
will work, but I thought I read somewhere that there is a relationship between
the two and to keep that in mind when doing anything with a speaker. I am
debating between having the original speaker redone or just going out a
getting a new 5X7 speaker.
Thoughts?
