Holy crap, my spreadsheet says very nice things about those
gear ratios in my 258 Hornet, 2.73 axle. The 3rd-gear column
is what I see now in top gear on the A904 I have.

First is lower (2.8 vs 2.54) too, second, third the same. My
care behaves fine in 2, 3, but 1st is a little steep; 2.8 would
be a big improvement!

These guys sell cables and serial cable kits (USB assembled cable only), and have a nice listing of free and commercial OBDI & II software. This is the BEST page I've seen on the subject yet! Looks like I may have found a use for my old Pentium 133 laptop, though I'll probably use my PII 366.

DOH!! Didn't include the link!! 
http://www.akmcables.com/dss.htm
I did check all the links on the page -- most are for commercial products now, though some of the GM code readers are still freebies. Seems the good ones that started out as freebies quickly realized there was a market for such devices! The best one seems to be "Alex's OBDII Scan Tool", or at least the most cost effective. For under $200 you have a software and cable package that will read most vehicles (only a few it won't read).

If it were me, I would buy new.  An Edelbrock 1406 would be about right.  600 
cfm, electric choke.  $265.96 from Summit Racing.  Is this the motor that Joe 
Gray has for sale?

Sure wished ebay would give some warning when they are going to have a 
special like the 20 cent listing thing. This time I got in at night and 
several emails from fellow AMC fans mentioned it. Thanks! So I unloaded a 
mess of stuff in about 3 hours, there are 68-69 AMX Javelin lenses, GTO 
seats, gaskets, door guts, door panels, books, posters, photos, just a big 
mess o stuff. So go click here:
 http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZeddiestakes

to view all my auctions, thanks should anyone bid or buy, and everyone have 
a Happy Thanksgiving.
