Cool - any idea if there's some sort of booster for am reception I can install?

I don't think you can. The AM antenna is essentially a cylindrical magnet with wire wrapped around it, and is internal to modern (as in, post WW2-ish) car stereos. Nuttin' to plug in, nuttin' to loop through. Any "AM antenna booster" you might find for sale would be scam.
