Ted below has come over to the dark side of AMC. Still a Mustang guy,
and we used to cross paths thru decades here at swap meets in Texas,
Pate, Astrodome Autorama, Del Mar, Conroe, Traders Village to name a
handful. He is now fooling with Eagles up there, and has a battery of
questions about Eagles, including getting away from the plastic valve
cover to a metal one; headers; engine paint; sway bar kit; to
hopefully some of you who can help with speak up. I have 4 Eagles, a
81, 82 and 2 88's we drive daily in Houston, and good to see more
people picking up the collectible Eagle series, as they are great cars.
So if anyone here can help Ted, please feel free to reply and thanks
in advance to all who might, be sure to copy your reply also to him he
would appreciate it!

HI Eddie- I bought ebay items from you and you mentioned that you
installed earlier chrome cover that had mounting holes and some did
not match head but you said you got it to work. Will I still have PCV
frt valve in new cover and do I drill grommet holes for 2 studs or do
I remove them.If possible- Don't want to take head off to drill all
holes to match v/cover. I can use new Permatex spray gskt sealer
(cost close to $15.00). I don't mind a few holes not used if new
chrome valve cover will seal. If you ever need new billet 258 HEI
dist. I found supplier for 84.95 plus $10 S&H instead of 109.95 plus
higher S&H. Have you ever tried to put 1988 Jeep 4WD headers on 1984
AMC Eagle with P/S and did they clear frame or did you modify shape? I
am also installing alum. intake with small 4 V Holley along with HEI
dist., T/chain set and new dual exhaust system in the spring. Took
all emission junk off and fuel junk so as to clean up engine area.
What color was original engine paint? Last but not least; I got beat
out of Ebay over $1.00 last month for original rear 4WD sway bar kit
and do you have one or know where I could get one or a panard rod to
stabilize rear end handling. Does ADDCO still make one or any other
mfg? Appreciate your
time and help and keep up the good work. I got some items from Mike
in NV. Thanks for your help and info. If you ever need Ford/Mustang
help or parts-let me know(50 + years). Got to go get heart stent put
in next month-pray for me. GOD BLESS Love in
Christ-TED"FORDMAN"EHRHARDT PS -Sure miss Texas swap meets-Bought
thousands of dollars and saved a lot of money plus made some.
