Basically a booklet list of everyone who owns an AMC and that would be willing to help out a fellow AMC'er in trouble. As he mentioned a couple guys in Bowling Green, that may have made it easier. So I am on that! I will create a booklet list of everyone that is interested in being a part of it. It will be catagorized by states and then cities of AMC territory. I will set up a list first on the net and work our ways to a booklet to download. IF you want to be a part, please let me know. IF you want to know more, just ask. I will periodically remind on the newsgroup to keep it growing. IF you wanted to add a pic or other info, that may not be a good idea as to show locations of cars, may draw bad folks. Just thinking Name and Phone Number should be enough for being stranded. An e-mail could be used to increase communications and IF you want to add a speciality knowledge... whatever you think. Let me know what you think and help me get this going. We got more to offer than AAA! Thanks! Richard Richard Estermyer 6235 S.

Believe me I could kick myself for not saving a copy to disc! From what I remember for Franks car a 71-73 Mustang shock will fit. But maybe that was for the American body, Could even be the Rebel shock Eddie is looking for! KYB had a listing IIRC that showed an AMC body with the 71-73 mustang included for the same shock. tyrf looking for a front KYB shock for a 71-73 Mustang then see if you can get the same shock to come up for an AMC. Then you should be able to get one a bit cheaper then the custom shock.

I bought it primarily for the 327, as I was expecting the body to be a pile. Unfortunately, it has not yet achieved "pile" status. In fact, its pretty much all there except for the starter that needs to be rebuilt or a replacement located. The motor has not yet been disturbed. I posted a pic or two of it some time ago, but those were from the seller's listing - I'll take some more. I think it would be best to see it go to someone here (or IFSJA) or at least someone that would have an interest in it other than hacking it up - ideally someone that already has a 327 and nothing to put it in. I would prefer not to let it sit and rot beside my barn, as I have no covered parking. Dana 27 front/53 rear, with a 3 on the tree and a Dana 20 transfer case. $500? I initially bought it due to an interest in the motor itself, but upon researching it further it would seem incompatible and impractical for my uses. I don't have the old-school knowledge required to make the best of it. Timing is really the problem - I can't give it any right now with all the other vehicles I have. :( Its really best left together, which I am also considering. Don't worry - I'm not the scrapping type. It will not go to the crusher. Located northwest of Detroit - look for the intersection of I-96 and US-23 on the map. No title, but no concerns of it being stolen. I would consider trades for a 70-up powerplant (like a 401), an aftermarket AMC FI system, some heads, aftermarket 4.0 stroker crank, or something else useful to a Jeeper. I own a Dauntless 66 CJ5, an 84 CJ8, an 85 CJ7, and a 98 XJ. I'm not dead-set on unloading it, so any old-school Detroit area resources for knowledge on the drivetrain (specifically the motor) would be appreciated. I already have a shop that will handle the starter. -Spro ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 09:40:31 -0700 From: "Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [AMC-List] What To Do?

I would run a high overlap to keep the VE down or you'll be running premium all the time (or LPG) as compression while running will go up due to the higher efficiency of the 4.0L head of putting air/fuel into the cyls. (It'll be much closer to the static compression due to less losses) You may want to run a similar cam to the one the Strokers are using to cure this issue.

Well, you can't "educate" anyone that's not willing to listen. Some old guys just don't want too -- especially from a younger man. Of course some younger guys don't either. On hotrodders.com some kid came on insisting that his Nova had 5x4.5" wheels. Even when a coup[le people politely told him of his error, he still insisted, though he did add that maybe he was measuring wrong (nice of him!). When someone posted how to measure he had nothing else to say, so he must have! But the point is he posted that the Nova had the pattern after a couple people had already stated that Chevy wheels wouldn't fit (of course I pointed out that everyone forgets about AMC!!). I doubt "your" guy gets out to many AMC shows, or any shows. So I doubt he'll be doing much harm. I once told an old guy that I didn't want to buy a Fairlane I went to see. He still insisted on trying to sell me the car, that it was in perfect mechanical condition except for a burnt valve, and had been babied all it's life. I finally stated that something had to cause the burnt valve. At that point he got mad and told me to leave, while walking swiftly for his truck. We were out in the country, and though I was a kid (18 or 19) at the time, I grew up out that way too! I seriously thought the guy was going for a shotgun!! He had a limp -- turns out he was going for his cane, apparently thinking he was going to give us (I had a friend with me about the same age) a thrashing for being disrespectful, though I had been polite up to that point. It really ticked me off at the time that the old guy thought he was going to strike me with a cane, but we had already made it to the car and started backing out. My buddy thought the same as I and wanted to run for the car, but I grabbed him and told him we were NOT going to run from the old geezer, we hadn't done anything wrong, and I wasn't going to let him think he'd intimidated us -- which he had been trying to do the whole course of the "sale". I doubt "your" old guy will want to take a cane to you for doubting his word, but he might... ;> ------------------------------ _________________________________________________________________ Don?t just search.
