Re: [Amc-list] AMC speed parts

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Russ,
I found that Jeg's and Summit do have the parts, they just don't always list
them in their catalogs. I see intakes, headers, AMC specific carburetors a
while back, engine parts are readily available from all kinds of places, at
least two in Florida, Alfano Motorsports, and a bunch more, the stuff is
much easier to find for me than in the seventies, the internet helps
tremendously.
Just for clarification, there should be 10 intakes for GM engines to every
one that's for an AMC, heck there are ten GM cars or more built for every
AMC car built.
AMC stuff is easier to find now than it ever has been.
I bought a light switch for a 70 Javelin from a, new to our town, O'Reilly's
Auto Parts Store last fall, they had it in stock!!!

the sport will look for speed parts and give up, as AMC is not listed. Even
the Chryco guys are not represented as well as the other two are. But the
AMC stuffis out there, you just have to look a little further.

there, for sure.
