Thanks for all of the suggestions but the fix ended up
being quite simple. I removed the carb and put the
original Edelbrock 600 back on to confirm a carb
problem and the car ran fine. I then removed the top
plate of the 750 to replace the jets. After removing
the top I turned it over and the floats did not move.
Seems the brass fitting that the inlet valves fit into
had backed-out and would not allow the floats to move.
Tightened up the fittings, put the carb back on and
it runs like a scalded ape now!

To my friends in cyberspace,
One of the privileges of updating the 71-74 Javelin AMX Registry is that
you sometimes get to meet really neat people and hear about their rides.
In updating the owner information for the 1971 Javelin AMXs I determined
that one of my registered owners had changed his phone number and did
not have an email address. After spending some time on-line with the
white pages for PA, I was able to find Bill Arendes and track him down.
After calling him and updating his data for the Registry he tells me his
car is "up for sale" in mid August. He will not post a price but would
prefer folks call him directly. Please note that I have never met Bill
and have never seen his car. His cell number is 1-717-491-3767.
>From the files that Cliff Danley passed me however I do have a picture
of his car taken in 2004 at the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle PA show
and needless to say it is a beautiful car. His car is a 401 Z code,
early 71, 4 speed with Hurst Shifter Comp Plus and black leather seats.
Car is some kind of deep red (doesn't look Matador) with a black T
stripe. Wheels are 8 slot AMC with volcanoes (never had any Rebel
Machine wheels since he has owned it). Everything on the engine and
tranny have been rebuilt. Engine has 275 miles on rebuild. Bill did not
include VIN info or build data plate.
As Bill has no email he sent me a 2 page typed letter to my house with
all the specs and mod's on the engine and tranny. Needless to sat the
list is mighty long. This car has to really be fast based on these
mod's. Without re-typing his entire letter let me give you the
highlights: Exhaust is all new 3" Hooker Headers and Trendsetter pipes;
Suspension is all new; Car also sports A/C, PS, PB, 4:10 gears posi
rear, factory handling package, light group, tinted glass, the "long
console" with center arm rest, and the Go Pack instrumentation. I do see
a functional cowl hood but I do not see a dual snorkle or a flapper box.
I also see both spoilers.
Good luck with this car for anyone out there looking to buy a real 71
Javelin AMX. Let me know if you do buy the car so we can keep the
Registry current with the new owner information. For anyone out there
who hasn't yet signed up for the 71-74 Javelin Registry please do. We
need you and your car in the database.
Thanks,
Jeff Thomas

It's called the "Edmund Anderson Midwest Regional AMCRC Meet". This is the
sixth year for it and it's put on by Ohio American Motors Classics (same
club that just did the AMO National show). This is held in conjunction
with the Bob Poole Orphan Car Show and they usually have a nice turnout for
that show. The weather's typically nice for this show and there's plenty to
see at the park (like the Wright 3 Flyer, some NCR stuff, and all sorts of
transportation related things I bet you never new Dayton made) besides the
cars. Also, the show pictures are taken in front of a 1920's era gas
station in the historic park. Last year, the show was actually in the
historic park but I don't know if that's going to be the case this year or
not. We have a great DJ and there are food vendors at the show.

Here is the fellow's whole auctions, only this Gremmie:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZrtagsQQhtZ-1
Yesterday I went to the Wally World here braving the crowds as it is TAX
FREE WEEKEND since it is right before school, so bought some odds and ends
for Noah. Eh, ok, Jacob too even though not going to school. But there are
not one, but two big juicy Pacers Radio controlled like the Gremlin in above
link there for $49.99 each. I was really impressed with them also I may add,
as good detail and the company was even nice enough to recognize American
Motors on the front with the logo, unlike some of the others such as the
Racing Champs Hot Rod AMX which called it a 'groan' Chrysler AMX.
But this is the second Wally World I have seen these in. I got lucky also as
the smaller 1:64th scale Fresh Cherries (Hot Wheels size) Gremlins, Pacers,
Mavericks, Pintos and those child's portion Mustangs, guess it is a 77, but
all on special for $1.00, not usual $1.99, woo hoo, so scrapped up another
dozen AMCs, didn't buy no Fords however. I copied this to the amxfiles.com
also although it originated on the badassgremlin group, as maybe some of the
AMCers there have not seen these in stores yet, and would know what to look
for.
One more thing, while that is a $199.00 remote controlled Gremlin, wouldn't
you rather have a Gremlin, Hornet hot rod, 69 AMX, 72 AMX, 69 SC/Rambler, 70
Rebel Machine and 68 Javelin complete with dealership for less:

Thanks to Eddie Stakes for pointing out that I
neglected to mention the particular issue of Super Rod
magazine to which I was referring in my earlier post.
It is the September issue, currently on grocery store
shelves, probably due to change any time. The name of
the article was "Alternatives under 5K". At least
they recognized that AMC was a good choice in this
range, but the black eye they put on it sort of
negates that, in my humble opinion. Hey! I just
figured out what the hell "IMHO" means...

Mark, any auto paint store can mix a small container of touch-up paint
for you. They should be able to look the codes up in their books. If
not, they should have a color match machine. Of course that requires a
chip of paint or sample of the original.
There is a 73 TSM (Technical Service Manual -- what AMC called their
factory manuals) on-line at www.tocmp.com. Search the site for "AMC
manual" and it will show up. I'm not 100% positive the EGR is the same,
but it should be unless 74 was the first year for EGR. I don't think so
-- I believe that at least CA cars used EGR in 73.

[ if you're good at welding ! ]

Brien,
To play devil's advocate a bit here a couple of thunks!
Thunk 1, If it looks to good to be true, it probably is!
Thunk 2, Looking carefully at objects in the slide show, there seems to
be a lot of sheet metal etc. in the after shots that did not have the
deep rust pits in them they did in the before shots.
Example; Before and after on the carburetor, Jaguar wheels, Blue Lincoln
rear axle and also notice that the exhaust pipe is just as rusty in the
after then it was in the before but the pictures showed the pipe
dripping with solution.
Thunk 3, even if it is as claimed or something that approaches that type
of result; it does not neutralize the rust. Rust will start forming
again after a period of time. This is not good if one wishes to stop the
rust formation such as in the seams of a spot welded uni-body car. (Such
as a Rambler or related vehicle)
Yup, not being acidic certainly has advantages, enough to make me wonder
anyway, but Rust-Mort a SEMs product has always worked well for me up to
this point in time even if it is RASPY, as it neutralizes rust.
Rust-Mort (and probably others but it is the one I use) can be applied
with a generic spray bottle, brushed on, in the case of blind areas such
as the inside of boxed sheet metal unibody construction it can be poured
through and collected if required and re-poured through and will even
work if the blind area is wet. This stuff basically seems to work with
the same requirements but must be constantly recycled and collected, a
questionable process at best or parts soaked in it for an extended
period of time.
At it's worst, Rust-mort takes about 3 applications for maximum benefit.
I dunno, but it sure seems to be too good to be true.
Wonder what the cost of a gallon of this stuff is? Oops, found out,
$25.00 a gallon. I wonder how many gallons it takes to soak a wheel in?

I have to order front end rebuild kits this next week. Planning on

probably go with Kanter. Do you need to piggy back anything? At least if
