Default Power antenna??
I have a 94 Z with the regular fixed mast antenna and would like to change to a power like the T/As. What do I need to change this over??

Just curious, but does the Z have the harness to hook up the Power antenna as the TA does? Just wonderin if it is just tucked up back there and not used on your cars?

I know my car did not have a power antenna in it and there was no harness that I know of, so I just wired my own in. Only a 3 wire connection, plus the signal it was very easy. If you want to know how just say so. I just bought a cheap power unit off Ebay, still working well!

No it does not.

I have been using a plain Jane ebay power antenna for years. Works fine. The GM one I had before that crapped out after 3-4 years.
