[Amc-list] Oops! I did it again!

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

But don't tell Britney! (or my wife!) I now have yet another AMC to deal 
with ('86 XJ 4 cyl 5 speed 4x4 that is carbed) It failed the Etest badly due 
to the crapuretor on it, but I'm pulling the motor (and trans/tcase combo) 
to put into my '86 MJ (which I got back again after 5 years in someone 
else's hands. They sold it back because no-one seems to know how to work on 
them anymore)
   I am swapping the Renix TBI onto it as well (it's gone @300,000 miles so 
far and the truck isn't even rusty yet! The replacement motor has @90,000 so 
it should go a few years more) I'll be putting it up for sale when I'm done 
as I already have too many vehicles. Current flock are '84 J10 "monster 
truck" (keeper), '87 Comanche (keeper/daily driver), '82 AMC Spirit (getting 
4.0L head and Renix MPFI along with AW4 unless wife doesn't want to keep it 
and get rid of her '01 Legacy), '73 J4000 (tow truck and junk hauler, aka my 
fugly truck made of parts of several AMCs including the 304 heart transplant 
from the '77 AMX I parted)
   Add to that my recently returned '86 Comanche long bed, the '86 XJ 2dr I 
just got (nice body with leaky sunroof that MAY get a 304/727/NP208J 
transplant for fun), '01 Legacy 4 dr sedan (hopefully to go away before 
something happens to it) and '91 E350 cube van (just emptied all the AMC and 
other parts out of it into my crowded 1 car garage and need to sort that all 
out) which will be for sale as soon as I clean it up a little more. I don't 
know why it drives fine except when I try to take it to a swap meet! Drove 
all over yesterday (about 50 miles at least) without a whimper, yet each 
time I take special time off work to go to a meet, it won't start or stalls 
or something else happens!
   Weird! At least with the 460/C6 and 18' cube with ramp I shouldn't have a 
problem selling it for @$2,000 (prefect for someone moving. I used it 6 
times already with no probs. It just hates having car parts inside I guess. 
With less than 100,000 miles on it, it only hauled pillows before I got it!)
