I was out in the garage today, doing spark plugs and fuel injectors on my Dad's Jeep Wrangler. The straight six is so nice to work on, everything was right on top and nothing was in the way. The injectors he got have 12 holes instead of one, supposed to really help mileage and throttle response...
I missed it by that much...
Here is my grandfather's Hammerlund anyway.

I believe it can be done, I seem to remember a YouTube video of a guy who put one on his Galaxy radio. He had to make a cord to plug into the speaker jack in the back for rx audio.
There is a known problem with the front end of the receiver on the Lincoln+2 series of radios. Strong signals can easily overload it, I will see if I can find the information.
Edit: even signals that aren't strong would do it too.
How about a radio with an amplifier. The radio generates the frequency and carrier, but the amplifier is modulated with audio directly. Or maybe modulate both the radio and amplifier?
It fits now, so I need to figure out what I want for the control panel. Will probably go with lighter socket, USB volt meter, power switch, so239. Maybe some small power meter too. Stay tuned!
Back to the 955hpc+, making progress. I removed the heat sink and tried to use one from an 86v that got an RFX95 but the holes were a different size and they didn't match up with the radio. Plan B involved cutting the fins 3/4 inch. Will it overheat with short fins and in the box? I will let you...
