My 65 belvedere had one from the factory. It was under the package tray in the trunk. Knob on the bottom of the dash.
Got it installed and can not get it to work.
Power to the switch and no farther.
red wire to the switch and then to the radio, no power to the radio.
Went back to the just AM and works fine.

Did the manual that you have show a wiring diagram?
You seem to have a lot of old school professionals in your area. You could take the unit to a electronic specialist and have them check it out.

Had exact same in one of my early cars, hit a big bump & this big “twang” came out of the speaker from the big spring bouncing around.
You can purchase reverberation "tanks " for about $50 new. You'd have to verify fitment. Transducer impedance is high, so I don't think there would be a mismatch, but not 100% certain.
Factory wiring diagram was with the unit.
Power goes from the fuse block to the dash switch then to the radio.
So it is not going to the rear unit at all because it is not even powering up the tubes in the radio.
Yep! wiring diagram with the unit.

I have a Rover Reverberator face plate, that looks like it came from a 68 Plymouth B body. Has the Chrysler part number on the back.
In 1964 my brothers friend traded in his hyper pack Valiant for a 64 olds Cutlass that had a reverberator. Sitting in the back seat with that turned up at 100 mph you felt like you were in a huge storage tank and a lot of people were beating on it with post mauls.

Put one in my 64 Plym in 69, very cool to sit in the local hangout with it on. Miss those days! Only had AM at the time, what little FM was classical “music”. On a good day we could get WPGC 1580 out of DC area, the good songs that our little area station wouldn’t play!

There was one bolted to the trunk floor on the 68. Just a bunch of coiled wires in it. Not sure where I put it. If its still sitting in the trunk I will post a picture. Could not find any controls on the dash for it. Where would the control have been mount on a Charger Rt.
First car I drove (legally anyway) was my dad's all black '63 Grand Prix he took over from my older bro when he bought a '65 GTO. It had a reverb in it and remember cruising through town with it on kinda loud. I got my driver's license in it...tri-power 389. Quick humorous side note: It had developed a heady throttle hesitation before we fixed that tri-power advance setup ya had to be careful with. When the driver test guy was in the car, me being a bit nervous, he says 'drive'. I forgot about the hesitation...car took off like a rocket laying the guy into the seat back his clip board nearly flying out of his hands. I apologized up and down and figured I'd flunked right then. Fortunately I guess he accepted the apology and I passed. Later that day was doing my first cruisin around with reverb on.
