I'm looking for suggestions (preferably other than "Trace the internal
wiring, Idiot!" or "Next time, buy a radio with a manual, Idiot!) on how
to determine the pin-outs of a Delco AM/FM radio "about 10 years old"
that came with NO manual and has NO identification other than MTD-1316
stamped into the metal on the rear.

(snip...)

I am definitely open to other possibilities!

Since Delco is GM's electronics arm, why not try a
GM dealer? Or a car audio place?

You may have to trace the wiring, otherwise. There is
nothing wrong with doing so, nor is it in any way
idiotic.

Delco was spun off some years ago and renamed Delphi. That might be the
place to look.

Just as Ford spun off its parts business as Visteon.

The latter suggestion worked, I was even able to purchase the proper plug
with pigtail leads, the radio is now in service, and I didn't even have
to trace any wiring!-)

Thanks, everyone, for all the suggestions.
