Subject: Manual Antenna Replacement Mon Nov 26, 2012 6:18 pm
I currently have a non working power antenna, the motor works but the mast is bent and the cable seems to have seperated from the mast. I really don't feel like paying for a new/reman power antenna and just think I'll replace it with a manual mast so I can remove it to be able to go thru car washes. Autozone sells a GM "universal" kit that has different bases to fit various applications, will this kit work on a B-body?
There used to be a power antenna on mom's 91 Caprice that she has in FL. I simply bought a black mast antenna kit from Pep Boys and installed it. Easy, and works fine. You take a few lower rear inner fender bolts out and jam a sideways chunk of 2x4 in there to hold the gap while you work.

Someone is always selling a power antenna on this forum check the vendor section. If you're going to remove the old one to replace it might as well get another power up and down one
