My power antenna died. I could not find a Delco part, so I bought an aftermarket universal power antenna. It works great and the installation was easy. It looks very similar to the original GM antenna.
The box says "Antenna World power antenna S-90B" (black). What was odd was the "B" is hand-written on the box. It looked like most sellers on ebay and Amazon were selling silver antennas. Anyway, this black one looks just fine.
Simply remove the existing bracket from the car by unscrewing the single screw holding it in place. Gently pull the old antenna down out of the hole in the car body. Unscrew the bracket from the bottom of the old antenna by removing the two brass screws.
Now put the bracket onto the bottom of the new antenna using the two brass screws. Clip off the wire harness from the old antenna and splice the wire harness to the new antenna's wires (old and new wires are similar colors). Attach the female-female adapter cable for the signal cable. Take the drain tube off the old antenna and put it on the new antenna.
Put the new antenna up the through the car body hole. Attach the mounting bracket screw to the car. Put the small black trim piece over the antenna stub and then screw on the black hex nut over the antenna base. Put the drain tube into the hole in the bottom of the fender.
Hook up the three wires via the wire harness connectors. Attach the signal cable.
Done.
