radio reception problem

["Christopher Middlebrook" <delamothe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On most cars of this vintage there is an antenna trimmer that is located 
somewhere on the radio near the antenna connector.  This is a capacitive device 
that nulls the insertion loss of the antenna.  Look for a hole with a small 
screw head looking adjustment.  Set your radio's FM dial somewhere in the mid 
band 
96-98-101 MHz and tune to a station in that range.  Adjust the trimmer until 
you hear minimum crosstalk.
This shouldn't affect the AM scale since it is tuned to a different wavelength 
of the antenna, and is a different modulation scheme.

Folks,<br><br>I was driving my '68 Crown today (the 4 dr. hdtp) and I noticed 
that I <br>have perfect reception on the AM side, but when I go to FM I cannot

<br>at once, with 1 or 2 stations all across the dial.  Anyone have any 
<br>ideas what's wrong?<br><br>I recently (3,4 months ago) replaced the antenna
