How to convert from mast antenna to power antenna

Like to convert my 90 bird from mast antenna to power antenna. I have the correct antenna for the conversion. The wiring is correct. But I do not have an existing relay in the dash. Also, how do I wire to the radio from the relay?
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: How to convert from mast antenna to power antenna

I'm thinking of doing he same swap on my 85 Trans Am. What is the "right" antenna that you purchased? I used a Dorman replacement on my 78 Corvette that has held up well over the years. Was thinking of using the same for this swap.
