Actually, di-pole antennas are notorious for BAD reception. Most people try to go the other way. DeLorean power antennas in the driver's Q panel are very accessible after you remove the charcoal canister. Operation through the driver's "vent" is wonderfully inconspicuous (I had no idea mine was there until I replaced a fuse and the thing popped out). Haven't studied too close, but makes sense any aftermarket antenna could be retrofitted. For first time installations wiring might be easiest run through the engine compartment rather than fishing around inside the pontoon. Re: failing power antennas, in the bad old days power antennas were often grounded through the case -> fender -> eventually to battery. Didn't take a lot of rust or corrosion to break the circuit (could be at a distant ground strap, not antenna mount). On my 1970's lincolns I usually sandwich a new wire between the antenna and fender, then run to a known good ground. Works every time. Our plastic DeLoreans of course need a dedicated ground. If your heart is set on a di-pole, quote me a price on your working power antenna. I might buy as a spare.
