I am not done yet, but I have been wire wheeling and bead blasting 10-hole
rally
wheels for the Gremlin project.? I also cleaned up one steel Rambler wheel
as an
exta for the 65 Rambler.? I should be ready for primer and paint later this
evening.? I drove the Rambler to the post office and plan to run another
errand
in it later today.
It appears?that I have stopped the rocker cover oil leak on the 65 Rambler
and
that it was operator error.?? I'm too embarrassed to admit the cause.??

It was 72 degrees here, supposed to be nice whole week, I know some of you
AMCers are
suffering this winter been brutal, but figured it was going to be nice, got
up early in
the 34 degrees morning, had a cup of Folger's and started washing AMCs. And
washing, and
still washing. Finally finished about 2pm, decided to take a 'group shot'
for my website
of AMC wagons. I purposely left out the:
68 Rebel convertible 'Machine, 69 Big Bad Orange Javelin, 71 SC/360 Hornet,
74 Javelin, 74
AMX, the other 74 AMX, and 77 AMX.
Just my wagons. Two of them here are sort of new, the Hurricane Ike Hornet
Sportabout 74,
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/hurricane-ike-hornet.jpg
it has 78K miles, 232, AT, AC, PS, original paint & interior, and have
window sticker and
original owner title, and drive it weekly, just put those AMC mags & new BF
Goodrich T/A
Radials on it also, it is a sweet ride although Fawn Beige, my least
favorite color AMC
made. The other is 'baby bessie'
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/baby-bessie-82.jpg
the 82 Concord DL wagon in Slate Blue, it has only 39K miles, 258, AT, PS,
PDB, tilt,
tint, cold AC, original owner Texas title, sold new here in Houston at
Archer AMC (as did
the Hornet), I bought this from orignal owner several months ago, runs
super, rebuilt the
trans, that is original spinner caps on it also.
Something it has under hood from factory is a Load Leveller. Not sure how
many of you ever
heard of that but it is factory Group 15 Accessory towing package with air
compressor
under hood. Quite neat to see one on Concord, sometimes you would find them
on Eagles.
I'll be putting up this Concord, the Hornet & possibly the 4 cyl 81 Eagle
for sale in
spring.
The other wagons are my trusty can't kill it 82 Eagle 'Planet Houston Swap
Meet tow car'
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/Picture_1168.jpg
now at 210,000 miles and still looks great and happy to pull $40K+ SUV's out
of ditches
here in Houston easily, in back is my 72 Ambassador SST station wagon
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/72ambassador.JPG
that went for road trip yesterday, 360, aT, loaded, we got stuck in traffic
neat Egyptian
Embassy near Galleria here, that was neat, except for traffic, and that
wailing noises, in
back is my 81 Eagle, 4cyl, 4spd, wagon,
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/Picture_1161.jpg
it now has 100K miles and runs great, have never had a AMC anything get 25+
miles per
gallon,a nd up front is wife Paige's maroon 88 Eagle wagon,
http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/paige-88-eagle-1050.jpg
nice loaded out car, is #1050 of only 2306 last year 88 AMCs ever made. Was
fun, but
tiring washing these wagons, but have not been able to wash any cars for
about month!
And the kids are allright:

" The cut-out switch is just a heavy duty normally closed momentary
" switch. The solenoid valve is just a small solenoid, shouldn't draw
" more than 10A pulling in (maybe as little as 5A) and 2-3A tops to
" hold. It's not like the big solenoid that activates the old
" Borg-Warner OD units, the Laycock-DeNormanville unit you have is
" hydraulic. The solenoid just moves a valve. Even most RS stores still
" carry momentary switches. A 2A rating at 125V or so should be more
" than sufficient. 10A at 12V is still only 120 watts, 2A @ 125V is 250
" watts.
switches are current limited; if they carry a wattage rating, it's
with an assumed voltage. bottom line: if the solenoid draws 10a, get
a 10a or better switch. a 2a switch would arc and burn its contacts
and fail soon.

Wow, that's actually a nice looking car. I take it the rear seat is still
original?
Wish it were closer. I'd like to get at least one full-size AMC with six,
manual, *and* OD in my stable...

I finally got the rear end from the white Javelin completely disassembled.
Thanks to the fellow who gave the hint about using althread, washers and
nuts to get the axle out of the housing, it worked like a charm. Now I need
to do some more shopping, Gotta find axle shims, seals and bearings, and
shims for the pinion gear, the pinion shim didn't survive removal.
Any ideas where to look for shims and axle bearings/seals?
thanks,
Armand
