" From: Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " My son's ex-GF's uncle has a bunch of ex-postal DJ trucks " (my son and I bought 1 each from him before the breakup) Ours " have the AMC inline 6 (mine had the 232 with 727 trans, my son's " had the BW auto on later model 258) He still has 2 rigs left. " One is the Chev 4 cyl Iron Duke and still runs ice cream around " and the other has the Audi motor and a bad carb. (I made a deal " to swap him a rusted out 924 with auto trans he's going to take " the EFI from. His is a 5 speed and he claimed 28 mpg before the " carb went bad) djs used a raft of powertrains over the years. most had amc sixes with either warner [early] or mopar [late] autos, but the first [kaiser willys] had chevy fours and powerglides while the last had amc fours and tf904s. one series had the audi four; they are generally reviled as underpowered and unreliable, probably by american-iron bigots. considering how little they are, i've always thought anything bigger than a four was grossly overpowering, but for most of the '70s that's all amc/jeep/amgeneral had. yours with the tf should be later than your son's with the bw. i've heard conflicting things whether the bw-auto sixes were '60s style, or '70s style with 290/304 converter housings. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
