new antenna... bad reception...ugh!

I bought a replacement antenna from zip products for my '88 C4 and
everything works great except the reception... it sucks.
I checked all my coonections, grounds (especially my mast ground) and
blammo!, crappy reception. I think it was better with the non functioning
stock pos.
Any thoughts?? (Thank God i had a disc changer added!)

Ugh.. I feel your pain. I had the antenna shaved on my C5 vert and
then installed an in-dash amplified antenna (like they did in one of
the Vette mags). Try wrapping a ball of tin foil on the end of it.
