Re: [Amc-list] t14 to t96 overdrive

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Slant sixes are long motors and are much wider than AMC sixes (they're 
laid over 30 degrees - points are a pain in the butt to change on them 
because of that). Also, the ones I've had experience with (both 225's) 
aren't as nice around town as a 199 (both cars I had with slant sixes 
were autos as is my 199 powered wagon). They're about the same on the 
highway.
