Re: My (new to me) 1967 American

Switching the radiator for a factory look is probably your best bet. I know there were HD stick trans options, I would think there was an HD auto option too. If so the model 4x (I would assume that's what it is) in there now would be it. Even for concourse judging date codes aren't looked for unless the judges are really stuck between two cars. I don't think a factory looking install with AMC parts would ever be noticed.
