Re: [Amc-list] Early 80's 4-cyl bellhousing

IIRC, the signs going the other way warned truckers of a 20% grade. (in our travel we went from sea level up to 7,000 feet (Big Bear) and some trails were above that IIRC. (Clear Lake was one destination near Ouray) We stopped part way up the grade to ensure the motor wasn't overheating (I don't always trust gauges) and I wondered why we had more power "suddenly"  when we left. The Renix system takes into account for altitude, but ONLY at start up! If your motor is wheezing after a climb, pull over, shut it off for less than a minute and all's well again!

I agree I always thought the 2.5L was a torquey little bugger!
I've driven many and never experienced the need to run around in third gear.
we are quite hilly here too.
