I'd like to install a 1/8 inch jack on my Sapphire radio in my 1971 super so I can plug in my iPod. Does anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram for the stock radio? Any other ideas would be welcome, too!

I suggest getting a stock AM/FM radio.
Then you use a Radio Shack FM transmitter to plug the iPid into and play the tunes over an unused radio station channel. Be sure to get the one with the digital transmitter, not the analog transmitter. The analog unit "drifts" and is hard to hold on to the channel. The radio shack unit takes two "AAA" batteries and runs for a week or so of intensive use.
