1965 Horn and Power Antenna Questions

[Jim Bienvenu]

I have a few questions for the 1965 experts out there.

1) Are the power antennas on both the 1965 and 1966 models the same and can either be used on a 1965 to pass NCRS judging?
2) Can anyone provide me with the name of a business or individual who either restores original power antennas or sells originals outright?
3) When fully extended, what is the correct length of the mast on an original power antenna (on a 1965)?
4) Can anyone provide me with the name of a business or individual who can rebuild and/or restore original Corvette horns (487 and 488)?

Any information provided will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

Same antenna '65-66, Dale Smith at OEM Glass in Bloominginton ILL is the best on Pwr ant, i can't tell you the exact height when fully extended, but the last ime I had my '65 ops chacked the judge said "my gawd it goes high" if that's any indication. I like and use Ron Goralski for horns, "byegonevette@aol" for a contact. Sorry, I don't have anumber for Dale, but OEM is in the Bloomington 'phone book.

Jim,
Im with Bill when it comes to Ron Goralski. I accidently fried a set of horns that I bought from Ron and took them back for him to fix. He fixed them at no charge saying things happen.

I have a correct 65 antenna and I seem to recall that the 65 and 66 were different. Had something to do with the thingy on top of the mast. Can anyone confirm this?
