Jerry, I noticed that you are with Yahoo also. What
happens is every now and again they put the AMC-List
stuff into your "bulk" folder. If you have a look
you've probably got like 20 sitting there. My lists
stopped coming at about the same time. When the list
went to the new server this same thing happened, and I
can't figure out how to tell Yahoo that they are not
spam. So just email 'em and give 'em hell I guess.

Info needed, I'm looking for somebody that knows AMC automobiles inside and
out. I have a 68 javelin sst project going on i recently bought a 1980 AMC
j10 jeep 4x4 with a 360-V8 with headers and a 727 automatic transmission. my
question is since this is a 4x4 with a transfer case what am i going to have
to do to make this tranny work in my 68 javelin? Unfortunately the headers
won't work unless i pound the tubing some on the passenger side and I'm not
willing to do that. So if any body needs these 0-miles on them let me know
thanks. And Ed thanks for the use on your great AMC site. Harold

someone who knows mopars would do as well since the 727 is a mopar
tranny, but afaik what you need are the tailshaft and extension bits
from a 2wd 727. i don't think it matters whether it's a mopar or amc
donor on that end.

I'm forwarding this here to let people know Tony was able to find some Hooker headers for a 290, which I guess would work on all 66 1/2 thru 69 AMCs with 290, 343, and 390. Below is the info and part number should someone want to archive it for later.

Ta-Da..... Just so you know the wonderful folks at Hooker make a rectangle port set of headers with collectors for the 290 in my amx. Painted $175.00 or ceramic coated $375.00 part number HOK 7901-1HKR and HOK 7901-HKR. Got this price at Summit. The extensions are extra this comes with bolts and gasket. Will order them when the garage gets C.O.'d
Thanks for the time on the phone.

Thanks to Randy Tate for sharing this, Bart also mentioned a Gremlin ad which is here:

and here is the Javelin ad:

my guess is eventually there will be dozens of original AMC ads in there which is great!

You are right the AMC T series trans uses the 10 spline by 1 1/8" input.
I was not thinking quite straight when I said 1 1/16"
The T bird trans is different from the AMC.
The closest match in shifter placement is the Chevette T5. The Chevette is shorter in the taihousing however.

Yesterday, doing the guy thing of channel surfing, I happened to flip to a
rebroadcast of a 1975 NASCAR race race at Darlington. I had to watch for a
while with the nagging suspicion that there would be some AMC content in
there somewhere... And boy, did I get it. After a few laps where I forgot
to breathe while trying to find that Matador, I finally saw it. It was
down in 4th or 5th or something at the time.
The two front runners were a lap ahead of Bobby Allison's Matador (which
was in third place at a lap down!!), and crashed just short of the finish
-- after which Bobby held on for the lead.
There was no question in my mind that the Matador was less powerful than
the others; 'cause Bobby was nervously doing everything he could to keep
one or two other drivers from getting a line to pass him. Had it been for
more laps, there was no way the Mat could have held them off.
Nevertheless, I haven't seen an AMC on the road (other than mine) for a
long time, so this was almost as good.
Whew.
