1. Speedo needle: More than likely it's just a bad cable. Make sure there are no kinks or tight bends in the housing first. Then disconnect the cable at one end and pull it out. Inspect closely. If it looks good, put a light grease (spray can white lithium) or oil on it and reinsert. If that doesn't at least help consider getting a new complete cable before condemning the speedo head. Cheaper, easier to find, and is most likely the problem. AMC vendors such as APP (www.amclives.com) can help, but it should still be available. Check specialty speedo shops too. If it's the head you'll need one of those guys to fix it, or buy a used replacement.
2. The shimmy is most likely caused by worn bushings. The strut rod bushings are the most likely culprit, but you need to chekc all the bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, and idler arm bushing. If you just want to throw parts at it the idler arm bushing should be replaced first, the strut rod bushings second -- unless the strut rod bushings are obviously bad, then them first.

Pretty new to AMC, but not to old cars. I recently bought a 68 Rebel
convertible. We were blessed with fine weather at the weekend so I took
it out for a drive. I have a couple of faults/niggles and if anyone on
here has advice/experience, I'd be glad to hear it:
The Speedo needle dances around all over the place - at about 60 MPH it
is flicking wildly between 15 and 90. The odometer works fine (at least
it turns round and I reckon the numbers are about right for the miles I
covered). Logic suggests to me it's the speedo head at fault but my
ex-wife's logic always seemed somehow different.....
BTW I have bought a little gizmo that measures speed very accurately
using GPS signals - but I need to repair the "proper" speedo.
The other thing is a sort of shimmy that shakes the whole car as I pass
through about 40mph. It seems to be coming from the front end. If
anyone's experienced this I'd be glad to hear about it.....
Thanks

I'd try the speedometer cable first to fix the needle problem. My 68
American had that exact same problem when I got it and it was solved
with a new cable.
Your shimmy may be nothing more than out of balance (or bad) tires.
Drums can also be out of balance but that's not as common, you can check
for this by looking at the lip around the outside edge of the drum to
see if there's a spot where a weight used to be. Bad shocks can also
contribute to this and will make vibration from out of balance tires and
drums more noticeable.

can you lift it with 1 finger? If so it's an auto, if not it's a manual.

My buddy and I have worked out a deal and he now has an '81 Wagoneer and I
will be getting his '82 Spirit (since it doesn't do well in snow and he has
lots of it) Last night I overhauled the BBD (non computerized) carb on the
Wag's 258 and it's running much better but still sputters and misses (next
is changing filters and plugs/basic tuneup) but at least he can drive it to
work w/o being scared of every ditch.
My plan for the Spirit (I keep trying to call it an AMX because it
reminds me of the '77 I had to part for the motor to go into my '73 J4000)
is to put EFI on the 258 and a lockup 727 trans (pretty basic to this point
but now it gets "different") then put a Dana 20 tcase on the IH 727 (off an
AMC 6 rig) and flip it to the driver's side. Top that off with an AMC Eagle
front axle and sub frame and Jeep XJ rear axle (I have a 3.07 geared pair)
I'll have to mod the floor a bit on the driver's side, but not nearly as
much as for the regular tcase used in Eagles.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I'll be putting my front lift design I made
for the last Eagle I had in and lowering the trans slightly as well which
should give me more clearance. That's today's silly thought anyways. (I
already have the complete HO EFI system to put in) It'll all change though
if I score an XJ 4 speed auto from a 2wd!

" TKO is stronger taller and bigger.
" The few that have gone into javelins required floor surgery, big time.
" You can use the front shifter location with an aftermarket kit.
" T5 can be built to handle 330ftlb for $1000.00 or less if you do it yourself.
ford svt 7003z are already built for 330 ft-lbs, and i've seen them
for $1000-1100 new.
" To get the shifter forward you need to use an S10 tailhousing.
and while you have it apart you might want to put the 5speeds.com
cluster stabilizer in, and maybe the warner aftermkt 0.80 5th too.
the stock 0.68-0.63 5th is just about tall enough to make a good
-6th-! it made sense for detroit seeking mileage ratings...
" Do some online searchs about both these trans as behind a 304 it
" really is going to be a personal choice. the T-5 trans built to 330
" ftlb spec will hold up fine.
" The bolt pattern on the TKO is Ford toploader IIRC, not T-5.
afaik the tko -is- a toploader. tremec took ford's toploader over in
the mid '70s and this 5sp evolved from it. our t150 is a tremec-built
ford t150 3sp toploader. [there was also a hd t160 3sp] fords 4sp
were in the 170s - t172 etc - and the jeep t176 is a family member.
ford racers wanting deep gears use jeep guts!
the tko 500 may have a c6 output spline, but otherwise it and the ford
t5s have the same splines, pilot, retainer size, and ~24" length as
the t150 3sp.

By running off the PS pump, that would put the compressor on the driver's
side, yes? I've been collecting AC brackets, and even bought a complete,
NOS, "Mount up and Drive" kit that AMC sent to the dealers to use when it
would be a dealer add-on. All the parts that I have are for the later
set-ups, and I believe put it on the passenger side with the 3rd
groove/belt.
Putting it off the PS pump for '70 models would mean (I'm asking):
>Using a double or single groove pulley on the PS pump?
>Driver's side AC mount?
As far as balance 390 vs 401 I don't know either, but I'm guessing that as
part of a rebuild, I could take a 401 OEM or aftermarket balancer and have
it balanced (along with flywheel) to my 390, yes?
This is for my "Hot Rod Rambler" project, the '69 Rambler Sedan which now
has a '70 390 and T5 combo. I want HP to be considerably increased as part
of the rebuild, and will be going to the TKO 5 speed, probably the
road-racing version as I like the ratios better. But, that's another
story...
John, living in Arizona, I'm sure you can understand, that I want AC in any
car I drive, doubly so because I'm seriously considering black as the color
for this car.

Not "by running off of the PS pump, the only thing that runs off of the
power steering
pump is the smog (air pump) pump for 1970 if you have standard
transmission. It is run
BY- the same belt that runs the power steering pump. You get a bigger
belt. The
Bigger belt runs both the A/C compressor and the power steering pump.
Thus the only thing you need for drive pulleys is the 2 groove pulley.
The A/C
compressor mounts on the passenger side of the engine.

I've asked before but have no record of guidance. Is the tank on the 79

level
senders are the same also???

Snip
Can I assume that you are talking about Pacers? Or are you interested in
comparing a Concord Station Wagon to a Hornet Coupe?
If you are talking about Pacers, I believe that they are identical.
Maybe some one else knows for sure, However there are a number of AMC
vendors with online catalogs that you can look up parts for your car
from and compare the answers.
