from don4bob@xxxxxxxxxxx
   max its me bob cronin the one that wants the tail lights for the 62 imp 
my power antenna is juce like yours it dose not go all the way down . when i 
went to az to get my 62 imp the seller tould me that tha radio did not work 
if the antenna dose not go up some times the radio will not work so i stop 
at desert valley auto parts in phoenix az and got one to be on the safe side 
i was hoping that theantenna would work there was on returne on elc parts. 
well it works and so dose the the 40 year old 62 imp and the radio also.
