[AMC-List] Autoweek TA Article

["Dan Curtis" <d.curtis@xxxxxxx>]

I just pulled my Autoweek magazine out of the mailbox this afternoon and 
there on page 21 is a full page write-up by Leigh Dorrington of a beautiful 
1970 TA Javelin owned by Bill Scheffler from Westport, CT with just 21K 
miles.  The overall article is very complimentary of both this specific TA 
as well as the AMC muscle car initiative from the late 60s through the early 
70s.

To quote part of the article: "The 390 starts and idles with a magnificent 
rumble.  The power steering is lighter than expected and the brake pedal 
goes down a long way before anything happens.  Push the accelerator though, 
and all is forgotten. First and Second are short, (but) shift into third and 
fourth and the car just pulls and pulls and pulls some more."

Yep, that would be the trusty AMC 390 and a stock one at that.  I an sure he 
would have been absolutely amazed if the 390 had just a few upgrades like a 
750 carb, MSD electronic distributor and even a mild cam along with less 
restrictive exhaust to take those stock 1970 340 ponies up to say the 
375-400 mark or even a little higher which, as most of us old AMC motor 
heads know, is very easy to do without radical changes to the motor!
