Re: [Amc-list] hurry up and wait

Hey, I'm REAL familiar with the subject line, though not usually 
referring to cars when I've used it... (military) ;>

You're correct, the American used a hang on bag with the foot pump. It 
was mounted on the left side on the front part of the spring tower IIRC. 
Of course dealers (or owners if they added later or bought the kit from 
a dealer) mounted them wherever they had room -- I've seen them all 
over, but always somewhere on the left side in the 61-63 Americans. The 
little one-way valve that keeps it from blowing back into the bag is 
usually mounted on the firewall above where it goes into the cab -- 
through the wire harness plug. The metal cap HAS to be up for it to 
work. The "jet" on the hood is mounted in the center, I believe in a 
large hole in the brace, but don't hold me to that! That's where it is 
on my Classic, and I seem to recall it there on the American as well. No 
under hood photos of my old car though.
