After market radio/stereo or factory AM ?
If it is a after market you need to trace down the wiring and unhook it.
If it is the factory radio pull the fuse and see if the problem is still there.
After 50 plus years many of these cars have had some black tape and pocket knife electrical work.

That's pretty cool! In 67 they had a bulb radio, but 66 was electro. Look for 2 wires that don't belong together.
If the glove box liner is out you get a good view.

Sorry but in 67 the Charger radio was also EL. Unless someone put in a Coronet radio.

No problem. Actually a common thought since the clock was changed. I do know that there were Chargers with a bulb radio due to a Coronet radio 232 being installed at the dealership or someone added themselves.
