i am at the end of a rebuild and i am putting in a new front window with a antenna in it and i have a new ground, but trying to remember how it hooks up? thanks again.

 

I don't believe the 72 has that ground feature you're talking about. Are you thinking of the u shaped spring that was used on earlier models to make contact with the hood and cowl?

 

i remember taking it off and i have kept every part to ensure I got the right thing if it needed to be replaced. It goes from the cowl to the window it is the ground for the antena inside the windshield. i just can't remember how it goes, it has been a few years and i can't tell on my pictures i took they are to far away.

 

Bill, I don't have this on my 72 but is this what you're talking about?

 

Why yes it is and if I don't have to have it that would be just fine, but I am planning on having a windshield with a antenna in it

 

That shouldn't be an issue at all. All the 72 A bodies had the wind shield antennas (there was an optional non antenna wind shield for cars without radios though). That clip is not essential and I'm positive (have to check the AM) it was deleted during 1970 production. My 72 does not have that, but does have the static and distributor resistor to reduce/eliminate whine or static.

 

Thanks a lot I have the distributor and a few other resistors hooked up, thanks for all the help
