So the PO I guess managed to jam the power antenna down into the hole and get a connection for the radio. It lasted about 1000 miles then I noticed the antenna moving while I was driving. I touched it and it flopped over... the cable is still attached but the mast is broken. If I push it in and hold it I get radio, but as soon as I let it go it's all static.

Any ideas of a short term fix? I have a good power antenna somewhere in my garage, but no time to dig for it right now.

Changing out an antenna is not fun but not rocker-science either. You can get a used antenna on Ebay, from a Salvage Yard, or keep in mind the Impala SS used the same antenna and there is a HUGE following for those cars, and lots of Online and Facebook pages dedicated to those cars, so this is a somewhat common part even after all these years.

Best of luck!

Use CDs or an iPod or such other device. I stopped listening to “free” radio long ago. Nothing but commercials anyways. Not to mention there is squat for good radio stations around here.

The cassette deck just died, that's why

Get out the BFH and give it a whack. If that does not fix it use a BiggerFH...if it breaks it needed replaced anyway.

The kit does not include an OEM antenna. If you want the OEM antenna you need the OEM mast, and/or the cable, with a good power unit motor.
