Your FM receiver section is probably in need of "alignment". I take it you
cannot eliminate the interfering station by careful adjustment of the tuning
knob? Do you live within 50 miles or so of the stations? If so, it should
work quite well.
There are quite a few radio repair outfits around that specialize in older
car radios, including FM - I think you need to send it off for a complete
"tune-up". This requires experience and some really sophisticated
instrumentation to perform, it is not for the neophyte to fiddle with (which
may be what happened to your radio, as they are normally quite stable.)
