Oh man oh man go buy an AMC Technical Service Manual, all secrets will
be revealed. Chilton's are crap for anything but tuneups. For the basics
pretty much any year with a 304 will do. 

Even if it's $50 it will pay for itself the first day.

There's a 1970 on eBay (item 200114607909) that'll be 1000% better than
Chiltons. I didn't see any 71, 72's, and around that vintage they seem
to run $50.

Good luck with the motor!
