I had my fill of crappy key fob communication in my 80. Yesterday I ripped apart the alarm harness and pulled out the antenna wire about a 14ga or 16ga grey wire with silver markers that is about 7ft long. I routed it up the b pillar behind the trim and around the drivers door behind the door gasket and left a 3" tail hanging out just above the dash. Then, while grumbling under my breath things like "if that dont fix the b**ch then out it goes", i tried the remote. My first try was a good 60ft away and it worked. then I tried about 100 feet away and it still worked. Then I tried inside the house and it still worked.
This my dear fellow cruiser freaks is my second favorite mod - right after the supercharger. I encourage you all to do it this asap. It took me an hour, but I had a 4yr old assistant who was crawling all over me and pushing buttons and adjusting the seat to see if he could squish me under the steering wheel. The lil punk succeeded too.
