I am amazed at the amount of work someone put into the 196 ohv engine to only use the modded engine that last year!
It contradicts everything AMC and Rambler stood for.

I'm not a historian by any means.
Is/are all the constant single model year parts what started their propblems?
Of, just an attempt to gain back ground?

Well, I looked at my 65 Rambler (195.6) and I think the exhaust manifold came on my 65.  The engine is a 63 model but the manifold came off of the 65 engine I'm almost postive.  I'd like to debunk the myth at all of these manifolds had the three-bolt exhaust flange.  Also the car came with a flared head pipe and a steel (or steel clad) donut that was pretty well eroded.  I went to my locak Kragen's and asked (as I remember) for a 2-inch exhaust donut.  We may have had to try a couple of different sizes across the counter but I got what I needed.  It hasn't leaked in the initial engine runup but has only been run about five minutes.  I have not even adjusted the valves yet.  Cut and paste the link below:
