TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


Some Chevrolet models may exhibit a condition of poor AM or FM radio reception. This may be caused by a poor contact on the female terminal of the antenna coaxial cable lead.

The illustration contains a four-step procedure to test and repair the female terminal. The opening in the female terminal should range from .120" to .125" in diameter. If the gage passes through freely, the terminal should be repaired as illustrated. Gage sets are available from Kent Moore, tool number J26900-14.
