On my way to a car show last nite, my brakes failed, and my pedal went to the floor!
What is the correct Master Cylinder replacement for my 74 AMX with Power disc brakes?
The current one has a black cover, and I have seen others with the brass looking cover.
Which is correct?
Thanks Mark

Greetings Listers:
Need to know where I can get find a fuel pump at the best
price.Its for the Marlin and its a 327, auto trans,electric
wipers. I cant drive it until I find one. Last week I took it to
a little show in Kenosha at the Museum (lighthouse) It was a
nice show and there were several AMCs there. Today I am taking
the Classic to a show in Two Rivers Wis. I have been hitting as
many shows this summer as I can, if I only had a job, it would
be easier! Have a great weekend and thanks as always for any and
all help.

Don't do that! Then they'll insist AMC got it from Jeep!

It came from a mid '60's Wagoneer with TH400 (I have the flexplate and 
starter but not the adapter ring) It was running when pulled (the wagoneer's 
floor fell out) and has been sitting for nearly a year. The PS and alt 
brackets were taken for an Ambassador and we haven't found the bellhousing 
ring. (If it is the same ring as 360 then that will be covered once I do the 
trans change in my '73 J4000 which has the nailhead trans with adapter ring 
to later AMC V8)
   The starter bolts to the bell so I have doubts it will work. If the bell 
pattern isn't the same then it's a no go.

The correct master cylinder finish would be the
booster, master cylinder, and cover all painted a
semigloss black.  The cover itself is finished in gold
dichromate plating which accounts for why you some
with a brass finish.  But the correct finish from the
factory was to have the whole assembly painted a
semigloss black.  Hope this helps.

I like the idea of an AMC Fan directory, however there may be some risks associated with posting name and phone number on the web. Is there a plan to restrict access? Maybe only to people who are have listed their name and number to the directory or AMC List members?

Bellhousing ring for the 327 is for the 327 only.
I've seen them come up on eBay from time to time.
If you sell the engine to a Rambler guy and he doesn't want the flywheel/spacer/bolts save it for me.
 The starter is a Jeep only item too, IIRC.
I'd buy it to add to my 327 pile if I was in the area.

Actually the easiest way to to an eye end is to pick the adapters up from a Jeep off road place. Last time I looked they where fairly inexpensive.
 The only remainiing problem would be getting the proper shock.
The weight of the vehcle, ride height, max extension and max compression are needed to do this correctly.

Don't know why I'm getting these e-mails about shocks and master cylinders,  
etc.
I was advertising a 1976  AMC Pacer for sale in Darien, CT for  $200.00

That sounds great -- but I can't picture it. Anyone know of a
photo of the 65+ lower arm, or a homemade bracket?

Search "Jeep Shock" on eBay and a set of the shock adapters will be in the 30 or so items that come up. I was looking today. The seller is asking $30 plus shipping. I think this is one of those items that can be had cheaper direct or made in the shop.

Sure would be nice to drop a 360 in, or a nice cruiser with a 258 or
4.0L even. The Statesman had a 196 L-head originally, but the
Ambassador (longer wheelbase, but should be the same under the hood)
had a 234 (or something like that) OHV in-line six. Sould be enough
room for a 4.0L or 258.
