Thanks to all on the list! For the past almost year when I first got back into a gremlin this list has been most helpful and enjoyable. >From all of you I learned what I was doing wrong with my brakes, what people are doing to restore and keep things going, notorious door hinges and what to do to fix them... a whole lot of great stuff from people passionate about AMCs. Here I thought for the longest time I was alone in a "vast sea of big three" but that is not the case! Thanks!! Due to all of you I am now going to try to see just how far I can take my '72 258 gremlin x into the world of efficiency. I know that were this a more rare car this would be silly, I should keep it original. But this is... MINE! What I plan on doing is adding "anachronistic" parts, they are for AMC, just not (necessarily) 1972. Like 4.0 heads, fuel injection, headers and a T5 overdrive. My question is - Any Ideas what else I could be looking at to make the "super-E" gremlin? Right now it runs great; I average about 20 mpg on the drive to and from work, mixed speeds, this is a basic car, no auto/air/power anything. perhaps I am being silly, cost <> benefit. Thanks!
