- 1972 convertible with almost half a million miles 351c- T5 transmission for 24 MPG on the Hwy! Still has a few original parts on it- not many!
also have a 1975 Bricklin with less than 20k miles.
Is there something one needs to do to get decent AM radio erecption in these cars? I no longer have the factory antenna on my car and the AM-FM radio that until recently was in the car- had almost non extant AM reception and FMreception that was not as good as I thought it should be.
Over the weekend replaced it with an AM FM 8 track that I had taken to a refurbishing shop they replaced a bunch of capacitrs and the belts and such for the 8 track as well as the lights inside. They showed me it worked before I left the shop with it and tit was getting good AM reception on a weak station with only a small piece of wire stuck in the antenna port. When I get it in the car the 8 track works- now I cant find my tapes FM works great much better than the old one and the really strong AM stations almost come in. Not yet tried driving with it but fear that a whine may appear when the engine is on as that happened before.
Any one else encounter this in the past?
