Re: [Amc-list] Brake rebuild kit for 1965 American 330 Sedan?

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

An AMC OHV engine with two screws (or they may have
been replaced with hex head bolts) this pass through
the valve cover to hold fasten it is a 195.6 engine.

The later 232 series engines have perimeter screws on
the valve cover.

I don't have a 65 TSM but the 64 American had Bendix
drum brakes.  The master cylinder may have been a
Wagner (Lockheed) but I'm not sure.

I don't have NAPA part numbers for the cooling system,
but you might want to check www.rockauto.com for
availablity of such parts.  They are often cheaper
than NAPA.
