    windshield cowl ground strap??

    Pulled the stainless trim off of the bottom of the windshield. I was sure that the strap was there and was the cause for my radio not working (many many years ago!). I was wrong,,,,,,sorry! I'm almost certain I saw that strap on one of my El Caminos(1964?, 1969?, 1978?, but not on my 1980!)...

    Original Parts Group sells them for $15.95 :shock: (FYI)! They are the windshield antenna to cowl ground strap. My radio wouldn't work without the strap. Doug
