well amc friends, i am now home from iraq for good.  got home,
changed, unloaded all my gear. stuck the key in my 62 classic,
pumped the go pedal about 2 times, and she fired RIGHT up.
nothin like gettin home from iraq, and goin for a cruise around
town with the wife next to me in the rambler. hehe.

  so anyway. i think it was frank who mentioned the idea of
popping the hub off the front drum and finding a rotor that
would slip right over it and fabricating my own caliper mount. i
have a mustang II disk brake kit. the rotors/hubs will not fit
on my spindles. the bearings are all different and they are set
in about 1.5" to far. so i think im going to find a rotor that
will actually slip over my hub and modify my mustang II caliper
mounts. see how well all this turns out. i plan to let everyone
know what rotors i found that fit, and what i have to do to the
caliper mounts to make them fit when i get it all done.
hopefully it turns out nice.

  i noticed when i fired it up this time however.... its burnin
oil now. i guess my valve guides are finally gone. has about
7500 miles in the last 5 years on unleaded fuel. i am unable to
get lead substitute aditive stuff here. cant find any atleast.
motor still runs good, just blows a cloud of smoke when i leave
the stoplight or at higher rpms if im sittin still and put my
foot in it. guess its time to get REAL serious about finding me
a 304 for the transplant. anyone got one they want to "donate"
to my cause?? lol. if anyone on the list has one they want to
get rid of, and only a few hours drive from lawton oklahoma im
interested. now that im home and have some time to kill.

  dave stohler
  finally home :->
