does anyone remember the setting you need on a AM radio to make an FM converter work?

Try around 1400. If that doesn't work I will go out and check my truck.

I bought a cherry Chevy truck with an AM radio, and I have an old converter in the shop. I will try it again tomorrow night. Thanks for the replies!

Casual observation, before “AI” we questioned whether things on the internet were true and correct. Now that we are calling it “Artificial Intelligence” it seems we are more easily convinced it spits out only truth. I know I am guilty of this to a degree.
Just FYI, my AI agrees with yours 1400.

Suggestion: Turn on the AM radio and the converter. Switch the converter to FM. Tune the AM dial until you hear something different. It may be more noise or less noise. If you are lucky it might be a station. As I recall it was in the upper end of the AM band.

Just FYI
There are a few companies that make vintage looking radios that will fit old cars.
I tried Classic Car Steroes and it bit the dust after a year of limited use. Maybe they are better now, I don’t know.

I am happy with my AM , never did Like FM. That’s me. Even them cassette’s or CD’s don’t much interest me.

I forgot all about those things. My brother had one in his '67 Impala. Mom got it for him one Christmas. Oh the 70s.

1975, 66 Mustang (that's when 66 Mustangs were just rusted out 9 year old cars), AM radio.
Had a cassette player bolted under the dash, with an FM converter bolted to the bottom of the cassette player.
The solutions we come up with at 16 years old.
