Hey guys, 

Scrapping out the 72  Ambo 4 door tomorrow and have about everything out of 
it, though I may pay  someone to yank the windshield and rear glass... I just 
can't see cruching  them!  

So this has the 72 360 with 3 bolt harmonic balancer and a  727 trans 
(LOOOONG tailhousing!)  I want to put mate the 360 with a Jeep  T-18A I am using in a 
Commando project.  

Does this take the later  flywheel or the earlier version likeon the 70 and 
back?  I figured withe  the 727 trans it would be the later, but I have never 
had a 71 and up with the  3 hole balancer, so I am not sure!  

Have a great weekend,  

Jesse

Anyone heading up from MO to  Cordova?  I am probably not going to be taking 
the AMX as I need to sell  a bunch of stuff to help pay for the 2 post lift I 
got and finish the driveway  to my shop.  (mostly engines... 401 and several 
360's along with the Ambo  doors I just got)

Thanks,  

Jesse

Mail to the list needs to be sent to  "amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx". I 
forwarded this message to the list for  you.

But to answer: There's no way to tell how many Javelins were sold  in 
California. AMC just didn't keep or publish that kind of info. You can  
search the internet and find some Javelin and AMX numbers broken down a  
bit better, but only because some enterprising individual had access to  
the numbers and thought to save them -- such numbers aren't available  
for most AMC models, and AMC didn't have much need for them over a few  
years old.

I can tell you that there were 29,097 base model 1968  Javelins made, 
plus 26,027 SST models -- 55,124 total. 17,298 had 232 six  cylinder 
engines (14,750 base, 2,548 SST).

If you're looking to  upgrade the drivetrain consider a 4.0L Jeep 
Cherokee/Wrangler six over a  V-8. It's much easier to drop in if you're 
not scared of the wiring, and  has about the same power as a stock 360 
V-8. If you can find a two wheel  drive Cherokee with auto trans you get 
the benefit of an overdrive  transmission too! The stock transmission 
won't work with the newer six --  the bell housing bolt pattern changed 
in 1972, so only 71 and earlier six  cylinder engines will bolt up to 
your transmission.

There's a lot  that can be done to the 232, so if you're looking for 
something a little  spunkier but will still get good mileage just upgrade 
it. It really needs  a new cam, as the factory cam is very mild. An "RV" 
or "towing" cam  produces power in the lower rpm range, and is best for 
everyday driving.  High rpm horsepower is really only good for bragging 
rights and racing,  not everyday street driving! The factory 2V carb and 
a good turbo muffler  and 2" exhaust system will work wonders if you have 
the 1V and factory  type exhaust now. And get rid of the points! You 
don't need anything  expensive or fancy, just order a Pertronix points 
replacement unit. It  fits in your stock distributor and just needs a 
switched 12V wire added to  make it work. Keep the points in the glove 
box as a back-up in case the  Pertronix unit fails (rare!) -- you just 
pop them back in and  go.

Standard bore is indeed 3.875"! Most  pubs round it up to 3.88", 
including Chrysler's/Jeep's. The metric specs  are rounded to a single 
decimal -- 98.4mm x 87.4mm -- which comes out to  3.87401575" x 
3.44094488", so you're correct in surmising the stroke is  close to 
3-7/16". 3.4375" is 87.3125 mm, so it's a bit larger than  3-7/16", but 
not 3-1/2" (88.9 mm). 3-31/64" seems to be about right in  English 
fractional units...

I just posted this on the In-Liners  board in reference to how to 
identify AMC six displacement. Wanted to pass  it on here since we had a 
specs discussion a day or two ago. I looked up  the deck height in the 
TSMs, which may not be  correct!
--------------------------------
Modern AMC sixes/years:
199  - 3.75" bore, 3.00" stroke
"short deck", 6.125" rod, 1966-1970

232 -  3.75" bore, 3.50" stroke
"short deck", 5.875" rod, 1964-1970
"tall  deck", 6.125" rod, 1971-1979

258 - 3.750" bore, 3.895" stroke
"tall  deck", 5.875" rod, 1971-89

242 (4.0L) - 3.875" bore, 3.440"  stroke
(note that most pubs round 3.875" to 3.88")
"tall deck", 6.125"  rod, 1987-2006

Only two deck heights. Tall deck is 9.528-9.534".  There's a 1/8" 
difference between short and tall (half the rod length  difference). 
Short should be 9.278-9.284". Tall is from a 74-76 AMC  factory service 
manuals, prior to 74 deck height wasn't printed. Deck  height changes 
slightly over the years - 77-82 states 9.487-9.493", 93  Jeep factory 
manual states 9.429-9.435". Don't know if the blocks actually  vary over 
the years to alter compression or there are errors in the  manuals.

Note that two different bell housing sizes were used. 64-71  used the 
"small" diameter bell as used on prior AMC/Nash sixes. Starter is  on the 
left hand side. 72-06 used a larger diameter bell, same bolt  pattern as 
the AMC V-8. Six cylinder bells are roughly 6" deep, V-8 bells  are 
roughly 8" deep. Use corresponding transmission with bell to swap. 71  
and earlier also use a Borg Warner auto which uses the same crank flange  
as stick shift models. 72+ use a custom made Chrysler Torque Flite auto  
trans (AMC bell housing pattern is the only difference from Chrylser  
models). The stick shift flywheels interchange, but the Chrsyler  
flexplate will only bolt to 72+ cranks. The crank flange has an  
indentation that aligns the flexplate.

Heads varied, but all mid  1980 and prior engines used a cast iron intake 
and exhaust that bolted  together and 1/2" head bolts. Mid 1980 and later 
used an aluminum intake  separate from the cast iron exhaust manifold and 
7/16" head bolts through  1986. 1987 moved to a cast aluminum valve cover 
and back to 1/2" head  bolts.

Cranks are 12 counterweight through mid 1980 (corresponds with  head bolt 
and manifold changes), four counterweight after. There doesn't  appear to 
be any strength differences in the cranks, though the older  crank is 
heavier. The only noted difference is the lighter crank can spin  up 
slightly faster (we're talking milliseconds here!) and the heavier  crank 
has more stall resistance due to greater rotating mass. Rock  crawlers 
make good use of the heavy crank, but breakage reports are about  the 
same for both.

There's no way to look at any engine and tell  what size it is except for 
the 4.0L -- it has no provision for a  mechanical fuel pump. There is a 
code stamped on a flat on the block near  the block/head parting line 
between cylinders #2 and #3 on the right side  (spark plug side). The 
fourth character is the engine code.

A -  199/1V, 70
A - 258/1V, 71-79
B - 258/1V low compression (Jeep only),  71-74
C - 258/2V, 76-89
E - 232/1V, 70-79
F - 232/1V low compression  (Jeep only), 71-74
G - 232/2V, 70-74
J - 199/1V, 66-69
L - 232 (1V or  2V), 64-69
MX - 242 EFI (4.0L -- Jeep only), 87-06
note: may have just  "M"

The first character of the engine code is the year -- that's how  you 
tell the 70 199 and 71-79 258 apart! From 1980 on the first character  is 
the last digit of the year, and zero is used. Before then it's more  
complicated! The code started in 1959 with "1" used for 1959. Just count  
forward through 9, then skip zero and start over. So "1" could be 1959,  
1968, or 1977. Knowing what engine sizes were built during a year and  
some engine details is necessary to decipher the code correctly. So code  
108A15 could be a 68 199 or a 77 258. Check starter position. 68 would  
be on the left, 77 on the right. Clear as a bell,  right??

Incidentally, the 2nd and 3rd characters are the month the  engine was 
built, and the last two are the day of the month.

Frank I am pleased that you are posting  to the
inliners.org.  Maybe you'll shine some light into  the
darkness of that group.  My experience with members
(including  senior members of that group) at Bonneville
has been that they are totally  GM (chevy especially)
guys.  The car I have crewed on the last three  years
has a Buick straight 8 in a vintage class.  We always
get an  invitation to their barbecue (partly I think
because the car holds the  record in its class).  They
don't really seem interested in the  technology in the
car even thought it is GM (originally, though  highly
modified). 

When I mention in conversation that I'm in to  AMCs I
just get a blank stare from the otherwise gregarious
guy who  issues the invitation every year.  

Most of those guys eat and  sleep chevies and GMCs and
dont' know or care that AMC ever existed.   After all
Nash just made R_a_m_b_l_e_r_s.  There ARE many guys
at  Bonneville who are open minded will look for ways
to go faster no matter  who made the technology, but
the inliners organization generally does not  count
many of those guys among its members.  

I have nothing  against GM it's just that the inliners
organization should probably be  named Chevy/GMC Sixes
or something of the sort.

Yeah,it's clearly the smart choice for later blocks  here.

The ONLY reason I would consider the old-six pattern is to use  this 
crazy block with it's diesel-thick cylinders and  O-ringing.

A new movie is out about the wine  industry called Bottle Shock.  There is
a pretty sweet yellow '74  Gremlin in it which has a prominent spot during
the movie, driven by one of  the stars--Alan Rickman.  The poor Gremlin
gets a kick in the tire by  said star but that's the price you pay for
being a star I  guess.   And oh, by the way, I was an extra in two
different  scenes.  I was originally called to have my Gremlin in the movie
and  then they decided not to use mine but kept me on as one of the  winery
owners.   Truth be told, I look like one of the farm hands  in a red plaid
shirt and a cowboy hat, but I'm not complaining.

A  fellow NorCal AMC Club member was also an extra and had his AMX with  him
too.  I'm not sure if he made the film or ended up on the cutting  room
floor.

You can see the trailer  here:

Amen.

It's too bad, I otherwise like the emphasis there on  the unusual, on 
thought-out solutions not just store-bought, and sixes.  The forum has 
some non-GM stuff but it's marginal. I get the newsletter  etc, and like 
a lot of car stuff it's very very narrowly focused and the  crowd is not 
very diverse. I'm not dis'n'em, it's their thing, and they  welcome new 
people, but they're doing that one thing.

I've been  itching for something vaguely similar, where AMC is maybe just 
another  brand on par with the rest, good points, bad points, but no or 
little  Brand C or F!

Last Saturday we had a going-away party for a friend  moving to Mass. for 
a 1 year internship. We got wierdo-car  quorum!

Dr. Nick has four Tatras.
Jason drives a Scimitar.
Paul,  old Citroens.
Me, Ramblers of course.
David -- drove to the party in his  '67 Trabant!
Paul, 24 Nash, 48 Indian (2 wheels), more.

All driven  (well, not Citroens, does anyone DRIVE those or just await 
parts?). Makes  my cars look like as interesting as 6 cyl Chevy Novas in 
1974. Mechanical  skills vary from skilled artisan to can-change-points. 
Not a bad start.  Ages and backgrounds and skills vary, another good sign.

So we're gonna  start a 'wierdo car club'. Jason and I have talked about 
it for a while,  but didn't want it to be just armchair can fans, some 
internet webpage  crap.

Blessing of the Cars (now defunct) had a lot of 'none of the  above' car 
nuts, and the 24 Hours of LeMons is too... where my '70 Hornet  was (1) 
revered and (2) very many people knew what it was. Then there's  
http://jalopnik.com, who are personal friends of some of the  above...

Time is  ripe...

This week is "auto week" here on the  central coast
with the Pebble Beach concourse this weekend and  other
shows/auctions in Monterey as well as the races at
Laguna  Seca.  This morning on the way to work I saw a
parade of mostly  Italian sports cars headed for
highway 156 and Monterey.   I know  there were several
Alfa's but there were several I could not identify.  I
saw no Ramblers today, but yesterday there was a white
2-door 220 or  330, 1964 or 65 model in traffic.  Nice
paint.

In other news,  I'm finally sending the 73 Hornet to
the scrapper this weekend and have  resolved a personal
conflict in my life so I will be able to complete  the
build of the 195.6 you saw on the engine stand and get
that 64  Rambler back on the road this summer.

Here in the Bay Area you can see a real variety  of
wierdo cars on craigslist. I'd like to have more time,

vy gd point.  a couple  of years ago i chatted with a late-model
mustang racer at the loudon scca  regionals.  he said he'd had some odd
transmission failures that  weren't cured until he ditched the stock
aluminum bell for a steel mcleod  scattershield/bell.

his 500-600 hp engine was enough to make the stock  bell flex!

i might add that my 'mexican' bell is iron and about  double the t96
bell  weight.
