My car is far from original so this works well for me. Sorry no part numbers.

My goal is to keep the original radio installed, am/fm only........I may check on the below listed Autozone power antenna . Its crazy just getting these newer bushings to be flush and the old antenna wire vs the new connections. I'll post a picture when i make a choice and get it mounted. Thanks.

Well, if you want a useful "hole filler" you might consider a manually retractable antenna. I installed one of those, and while it works, it really is mostly a hole filler. Not even sure where I got it but I suspect at one of those Kragen type places because it's been decades. It actually works but I mostly use a USB flash drive for music.
Something to ponder since you want a "hole filler".
