Re: [AMC-list] [Amc-list] American radiator hose and poetic justice (Yep, 7266 is good!)

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a guy in Idako with a CNC mill that made a TBI adapter for the intake manifold plate on a 195.6 for me.  I bet he would machine the parts.  I think he's looking to make some useful AMC parts and recover some of the cost of his milling equipment.

I can contact him if you want.
