Make sure you have a good antenna connection. The screw is adjusted by finding a weak station around 1400 and adjusting to maximum volume. Your radio, however, may be on the fritz.

I checked my stereo AM stations (on my old Pioneer SX-828 receiver from the 70s) to find a station around 1400. Found one at about 1430, but can't get anything on the Ford radio. Do you repair these?
