Los Angeles. Of course (murphy's law) I found a usable Stant cap on ePay 
last night, though not the correct AMC stainless cap I had. a real 
shame. Oh well it beats aluminum foil and a plastic clip.

I loved my 62 Ambassador. Only cars I had more fun in are my current 
crop of 63's, and all in all they're not that much different.

Good luck with the brakes. They are a pain when they're all crapped up 
from age and wear. The last few sets of drums I did, it ended up being a 
LOT easier and more satisfying (and less hassle over all) when I pulled 
the entire brake setup OFF backing plate and all, had all the hard parts 
hot tanked and media blasted (under $50 at the local machine shop), then 
welded up the wear grooves, and painted them Eastwood Chassis Black. 
Like new and cost almost nothing! Wire brush the rest of the suspension 
parts down there, assemble with good antiseize, man, is it easy to work 
on then...
