Re: [Amc-list] CC/Rambler

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Oh I meant to criticize! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see them messing with a Rambler, even if they are way behind the learning curve. It's just that, as Tom says, there is so much expertise out there that they are not tapping -- mostly ignoring! This list and the two AMC Forums, for example. I'll be the first to admit it, they will likely get more from one of the forums for a performance oriented build than here. There are good performance people here, but that's the main focus on the Forums. It is a bit secondary here -- more drivers, modifiers, and "appreciators" than racers on this list. 

I recently dropped my Hot Rod magazine sub (let it run out -- my wife bought it as a gift a couple years ago, bought 2-3 years at once) and replaced it with Car Craft. The Rambler is a prime reason. I'm a lot more critical here among Rambler friends than I have been to Glad and CC directly. I have urged them to search the web and contact more knowledgeable AMC people across the country rather than stay right there in CA. There are some good AMC people there too, but that's not the "hotbed" of AMC performance.

I didn't mean to criticize the guy, sorry if I sounded that
way. I should have been clearer -- there ARE people, like
Nicak Alfano, Bruce Hevner, etc -- that can make AMC motors go,
and Car Craft could actually inform their readers by covering
what Bruce or Nick would do to the motor and also Glad would
get the benefit.
