Take off the carpeted side panels, 3 screws each side. 1 towards each end and the middle screw is next to the seat. Might need a 90 degree screwdriver to get it or if you've had your cushions out and find that easy to do it will help to reach that screw. A small open end or box wrench should...
Hmmmm:D.....

I also have a nice mast available, the large and center section. Slight wear in the chrome on the big piece. out of the early alum case model but will fit the later plastic slimline...
If there's no connector underneath near the antenna, you may find one behind the driver side rear speaker or blockoff panel.
If nothing there, it probably goes all the way to the relay without a joint.
Seems a lot of guys just cut and splice. Leave enough wire so you can slip the splices through...
From a discussion we had on another site. Maybe it'll help.....
"Jake wound up finding the correct color on a PPG Chart, however, it was on a 79 Corvette only color and it was the correct 47 called "Pace Car Silver". It was a single stage paint, he sot a piece and then had it matched to be a...
Good luck with that!
I bought 3 repair kits from GMPartsDirect about a year ago. Out of curiousity I emailed them the other day about the availability of the repair kits as they still list the part no. on their site.
Got back a reply..."Discontinued, no longer available from GM".
NOW I know...
Is the new mast section sliding through freely now? Did you need to file the joint?
I can do the older style alum case antennas with my eyes closed, but I've only done about a half dozen of the later slimlines over the years.
Jeff, I always throw away the new seal (nub?) and reuse the original. Then again, is there even a seal originally? I've gotten to where I don't pay attention when I got em apart. I know there's a drain so why need the seal?
To go up...Grey -, Green+
Down........White +, Green-
Looking at pics...
Hey Jeff, yep, that's what I have. Brand new in the Delco package.
Last time I bought a few I bought all CB repair kits. I use them mostly for repairing the earlier aluminum housing antennas where I need to cut the hook off the end. Using it in a non CB antenna I simply cut an additional 4" off...
ALL SOLD......................................................................................................................................................................................................I have 3 78-early79 power antennas and 1 late79-82.
From left to right....
Number 1...
Well, if it comes down to it, I don't actually "need" the repair part I have for a CB. I simply have it for repairing other's antennas. So, yours would fall into that category.
I do have a mint late79-82 CB antenna from my white79. Came off at 11K miles. Broke when I was inspecting the Vette for...
We've been discussing this in another thread and it appears the repair kits for both the CB and nonCB antennas are either discontinued or being discontinued.
In other words it looks like the Corvette vendors may be the only source for these til they run out.
I do have a new GM part number for...
Unfortunately it HAS been discontinued.
Stopped by my GM parts guy today and he told me both the AM/FM and AM/FM/CB repair leaders are "no longer in inventory".
He did show a new part no for the AM/FM one, 19151297, but I'm not sure of the status of that part.
He did print me out a list of...
Glad the knob worked.
Are you talking about the nylon lead with the small mast section on it?
That repair part?
You can still order that over the counter at any GM parts desk.
pt no.22038197. That number may be superceded by a newer number but it should show up when they look up the old number...
Yep, you unscrew the ring. I've used needle nose pliers, carefully, to turn it off. SHOULDN'T be real tight as it's against paint.
Remove the driver side rear speaker or cover. You may find a connector back there, otherwise it goes all the way to the relay. No connector, most people cut and...
Same here. A little neater than banging on em with a hammer.
Used a couple sockets, one with a bevel that fit inside the cup, and a long bolt, washers, and a nut. Tighten the nut onto the bolt and it pulls the beveled socket into the cup.
Unfortunately, the beveled socket is an old oil pressure...
Use the above diagram as a starting point, but in the end, put the bumpers where you NEED them. Also, be prepared to grind some material off the base of the bumpers. And if you need to raise the hood in the vicinity of the wiper well be prepared to adjust the hood catches. You don't want them so...
