Re: [Amc-list] TELL ME THERES HOPE!!! (doubtful)

Wow, that's grim. But this is a rugged, overbuilt, loose-tolerance motor 
so there's hope.

The corrosion INSIDE is worse than OUTSIDE. To me, that says it's final 
death was from a cylinder or two full of coolant, and was then left to 
sit for a decade. The coolant was probably all or mostly dirty water.

I'm with Mark -- this engine needs a full tear down, if any parts are 
good now firing it up would ruin it with abrasive crap that's certainly 
well distributed.

> it is a 2 bbl carb. what carb is that again? 

If it's 2bbl, the Carter WCD. A fine old-fashioned thing.


> does anyone have a tsm for one of these cars they want to get rid of?? 

They're on ebay all the time. I got a ratty but usable copy for $10. You 
want one, believe me!!
