Re: [Amc-list] AMC six, crankshaft bolt pattern?

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

You don't have to even change that column if you don't want to.
The ignition can be removed the large lump whacked off and the hole filled.
J.B. Stick weld topped with J.B. Qwik weld and a skim coat of filler will fix it all up.
Even to the point of taking the dreaded automatic gack off of it!
Sounds hard, but, it will bolt in and be wired already!
My tilt column went through this procedure as I did not want all the Gack on it either!
