Saw the block, looks like a good price. He was talking about checking out the engine size, Eddie probably told him how to do so and veteran AMCers already know this. Do not just reach down and rely on feeling the numbers unless you really know what you are doing, get dirty a little. I met a guy who had a 304 for sale at a swap meet. He said it was in an AMC wagon and he didn't want to get dirty (aww shucks) so he reached down a thought he felt 4-0-1. He was reading it backwards and he actually felt 3-0-4, he figured the 3 was a 1, just crusty. He thought "$50 for a 401, wotta score"!!.....Russ __________________________________ Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year. http://brand.yahoo.com/cybergivingweek2005/
