I am a simple old man who doesn't have or want a radio in any of my
cars. I understand this is some kind of way to listen to music. Can some
one give me a definition what an I Pod is in simple 60's english that I
can understand? Not that I would ever get one, but just out of
curiosity. Thanks.

Its like a Walkman, but its mostly a computer.  It contains a small hard drive that contains the music (or whatever) files.  Larger ones are about the size of a cellphone.  Very easy way to carry your entire music collection with you wherever you go.

It's a compact storage unit that holds music in an electronic format, it
can be used like a traditional walkman except it only holds music that
you place on it with your computer. You download songs to your computer,
place the songs onto the ipod and it plays them back. There is a line
out that can be used to plug in headphones or a direct line into a radio
to play them, there is a base plug that can be used as a line out as
well. It's really a pretty cool toy, but it's use is predicated on your
desire to get music files and put them on it.

 I thought the whole point of the 66 Rogue was to
introduce the 290 engine. I don't know if it was
available in anything else that early.  I have a 66
American convertible with a 343/auto, but the body
code is for a 232.  The work is so clean and complete
that it makes me wonder if it wasn't a dealer
conversion.  Supposedly the car was from the Portland
OR area, then was put into the warehouse I got it from
in 1978.

If anyone can help Peter below with the spring compressor question, please feel free to reply and also copy your reply to him if you do it here. For some reason, and correct me if wrong (and someone usually does :~P)) wasn't there someone in Canada who reproduced a spring compressor a few years ago, I think his name was Gerry?

This is a set of spring compressors that are used to remove and install the front springs for a 1968-1969 Amx and Javelin and all Americans 1969 and back.

Kent-Moore # J7389-1

Eddie I bought these recently they look large for amx springs, I've Emailed them if the number is correct,no response. Do you have a part #  for amx compressors. I don't have the time to try removing a spring but the spring diameter seems much smaller. Thanks in advance Peter

That thing everyone calls the "proportional valve" often isn't
a proportional valve. Its often just a junction block with
the brake-pressure-imbalance switch in it. When it's *also*
a prop. valve, I think AMC calls it a "combination block".

When it is a prop. valve, it's not adjustable.

If you don't have one at all, don't bother to add one, just
get the aftermarket job.

If you have the switch-only block, you may be able to bolt in
the combo valve, but I'm not sure if they have all the holes
in the same place.

I am using the non-proportional-valve block with Bendix disk
brakes and rear drums. But since I plumbed all new brake line
from scratch, I  should have done it the plain old fashioned way,
from the master cyl to the rear wheels, period.

The irony for me is, I never found the required connector for
the brake-fail switch, so it's not even connected. Just gotta
clip one off some AMC-anythin at U-Pull-It, but I always forget.

Meetoo. I pulled the temp. sender from an original 1969 232,
and it reads the same, and does not match 1970 specs either.

The 1983, 70-something, and 1969 all read about the same. I
tested cold and 165 degrees. The '69 sender read lower, but
not much (notes are at home).

The two newer senders were stamped with a different number than
the 69 part, which got my hopes up.

Does the right part actually exist?!

A small blob of plastic that costs $200 or more and lets you put
stolen music innit.  When the battery wears out you have to buy
a whole new one. They also require an annoying power cube or
USB cable (to turn an expensive laptop computer into a really
expensive power cube. Also people steal them. They have the
right gummy plastic that dogs like to chew to see what's inside.

You're supposed to rush right out and buy the newest one when they
come out, even if the one you have isn't dead yet. If you ask
any questions why, you will be kicked out of the Cool Club.
