Re: [Amc-list] fsj 232/th400 [was: AMC Ads]

I can confirm that the nailhead/adapter ring TH400 was used past 71-72.  I have a 73 J-4000 with an AMC 360/TH400/D20 combo that usues the adapter ring.

I have a second 73 J-4000 at my other house also with a 360/TH400, but that one is a Quadratrac and I will assume it has a full AMC bell with no adapter ring.  Haven't crawled under it yet.
