Power Antenna
I did a search and didn't come up with what I need. I got a power antenna from a GTA at a swapmeet. My car didn't come with one, so I'm going to need to wire it in. Anybody have a schematic for the wires that plug into the antenna?
Side note: Anybody know where to get the wire terminals that have the tab on the back that you push out and it will lock in a plug? Like this:
I have no idea where to buy them!

ANTENNA . . . . . UP!!!!!
Most manufacturers use black, red, and green for color coding.
Connect the black to chassis or negative on the battery.
Connect the red to a switched positive line.
Connect the green to the radio’s automatic antenna terminal.
If the radio doesn’t have that feature install a switch.
(one side of the switch to the green and the other side to a switched positive line)
You can obtain terminals for the one in your picture at auto parts stores or RadioShack
.
Happy Racing!

Re: Power Antenna
The antenna trigger is from the radio harness (pink wire) and the main feed is from the fuse panel. I've included a wiring diagram I hope is of help and the web link to it.
