hello everyone i just purchased a 1966 Fleetwood B., its in great condition but needs some details worked out, i just finished fixing my wipers yesterday they were seized up from rust, they work like a charm now, anyway one thing I MUST get working is the radio, i hate driving without music,

My stock radio turns on and i can hear static in speakers no problem, but there is no change in static as I move it along the diferent bandwidths, the automatic antenna does not extend up or down, can someone tell me if there is button i need to press to get it to extend or should it have come on once i turn the radio on, ?? i got a feeling that the antenna is not hooked up properly...


Next thing i need to get working is the trunk release.. i was looking at the truck release button in the glovebox and it seems to be working on vacume lines, ? can someone tell me where in engine compartment do they originate, the release was working first few times than it stopped. http://www.cadillacclub.ca/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif For some reason I think the trunk lock is not working cause I cannot get it opened using the key, looks like the previous owner in the past had same problems because someone has drilled a hole in the trunk lock. :( i need to air the trunk out and dry it out cause the car was parked outside for a coulple of years....

thnx

If it's like mine, push on the tuning knob. Pull to get it to go back down. The vacuum lines for mine come off the intake and go to a vacuum manifold that is connected to the vacuum resivor. I do not have the remote trunk release, so mine is capped off.
