The chart on the reverse side identifies the parts required to service all Cadillacs using slimline or mini-mast power antenna assemblies. The information included in this bulletin is more complete than that presented in Serviceman Bulletin 83-33, so use the information provided here and discard Serviceman Bulletin 83-33.
