The motor drive for the antenna is fine, but the mast was broken by a flying wild turkey! Does anyone know the procedure for replacing the mast? I have the replacement mast, but haven't yet attempted to dig into the task. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank from Texas
Make sure the broken mast is in the same state as the replacement mast (most likely fully retracted). There will probably be two connections on the unit, motor power and radio signal. Examine the latches on the motor power connector to see how the work; most likely you have to squeeze in a pair of plastic tabs while pulling on the connector (don't pull on the wires!) in order to unlock the connector.
Check the gasket around the antenna base. If it is hardened, and the replacement antenna does not have a good gasket with it, apply an automotive-grade body sealant or caulk to keep water from getting into the car body. (Many of those I've seen use a rubber base without a separate gasket; often this is hardened and will not seal without help once it's been removed.)
If the radio cable has a screw-on connector, put it on snugly finger tight. Cranking it on with a wrench may break the terminal inside (I've seen a number of TV tuners destroyed this way). However, most car antenna connections I've seen resemble over-sized phono plugs and jacks - push on and pull off. Often there is a protective sleeve or boot over the connector; you may have to pull it back along the cable first. Again, pull on the connector, not the cable. If that doesn't work, it may be a bayonet-style connector that you have to push in and rotate a quarter-turn counter-clockwise, then pull it off (I don't recall ever seeing that on an antenna, but it's mechanically possible).

Fuel filter (faceing Engine) is on the Left of the firewall below the black box with vac. lines going to it There is a bolt 10mm head at that box which will allow you to flip box without disconnecting vac.lines. Good Luck

you will probably hav eto remove the motor cover. there is a nylon strip with teeth on it that a gear pushes and pulls to raise and lower the antenna. you have to make sure that the strip is properly in the channel and meshing against the motor gear.
