'67 Camaro Factory Rear Speaker pic???

Wouldn't have multiplex controls in a 67.

In 68 (and 69) a multiplex AM/FM with an 8 track used a different model 8 track that took the output from the multiplexor and passed it thru the 8 track player and then out to the speakers, instead of sending the signals back to the radio. This setup used the 4 knobs on the 8 track to control the tome, balance and fade features of the multiplex. The flush mounted knobs in the console compartment cover were used with the AM/FM multiplex alone.

Correct.there are two different players for the different set ups.# 7305206 for the tape player,#7305211 for the mutiplex 8-trk.....and 7305221 is the multiplex unit for the 8-trk combo....follow? Does # 7305221 have the 4 knobs as well ? I've never seen one.......Only the Special 8-trk player 7305211....

Remember,the radio and the 8-trk were always seperate units.It actualy works backwards from the way you would imagine.The 8-trk player controls the power for the radio.Put in a tape and the radio is killed dead by the power feed supplied from the 8-trk.Two seperate wire harness are used also....radio.. front center speaker and left rear...8-trk..used all four corner speakers and not the center dash. Five speakers unless you had the AM-FM multiplex...no center dash speaker...Again all 68 info here.

Ok.I answered my own question...The AM-FM multiplexor in use with the 8-trk # 7305221 did not have any knobs.It took the place of the std convector (heat sink) mounted behind the dash.So ...it would not mount under the glove box but behind the dash out of site.And yes,the knobs on the 8-trk control the multiplex function......Sorry...It's been awhile since I studied this P.I.T A set up..

Not nearly enough room for that Denis....It would have to be under the glove box( I have a tissue dispenser there in the pic).See attachment...

I thought hte multplex controls were integral to the forward facing 8-Track ( in '68 anyway ).

In '67 I think this was only offered in a mono sytem ?

also some 8AM/FM 8-Tracks used a radio tape switch when installed @ the dealership ( I think ).

this one is on e-bay right now - not mine :

here's a NOS 8-Track with the radio tape switch in the same auction

NOS : ebay 8-track w/ radio-tape switch

SQUID...That one is not NOS. Read the description and it says for parts only. You are thinking NOS because you see a box but the box is not even mentioned. It also does not show the remote amp-heat sink thingy that I can't think of the name of.

Just posted a pic of the remote amp-heat sink thingy. The 8 track is not nos but the switch and the remote amp-heat sink thingy looks to be nos. The pad on the 8 track is in mint all original condition.

Well there is a lot of differnt opinions on what is right for these systems. However, When I reinstalled the am fm multiplex
in my 68 Camaro it was not so easy to get it right. I read the production manual and studied the drawing on where the multiplex was installed.and it shows the exact bracket that was used. It was a bitch to install the unit up on top of the steering columb. It has a special bracket that bolts onto the sheet metal up there. I was lucky to find the orig holes that
were intalled at the factory or I would of never been able to guess that is where it was installed.Beleive me it was a bitch
to do. The easy part was installing the controlls in the glove box
as the orig holes were there. I was extreamly lucky that the orig
council was still on the car.
