Re: [Amc-list] windshield squirter location on an American



I lost that chance at good setup when I installed the 4.0L.
No fuel pump!
I tried a vacuum cansiter made from 4" PVC an dit actually was driveable, albiet, not great on hills.
Around here we have too many hills for that though!
Went electric!
Much better.
