Re: [AMC-list] What Did You Do on Your AMC this weekend?

Since you scrapped those chains I guess you aren't coming up over Pike's Peak anytime soon! <G>
I used to have the NAPA part number (actually, Echlin) for the Presto dist, but alas my notes were nuked when my original AMC Eagle website went away (that started on WBS.net, then ABC.com and later go.com)
Borg Warner/Niehoff number is V324 (Rockauto is almost out of them) or Kemparts VC235 (ditto)
   Drove up to Sedro Wolley after work tonight to fix son's ex-GF's Jeep. Turned out to be oil in the starter. Quick bump with the "Ford" wrench and it fired up again. She'll come down monday night and I'll swap it out in the AM Tuesday before she has to go work.

It was a beeeeeeautiful day here on the central Coast.?? Like Spring, 70 
degrees, little wind.
I?separated the intake and exhaust manifolds for the 232 on my Gremlin,
bead blasted them, drilled out and re-tapped two manifold studs and painted some 
other
engine hardware.
I'm reusing the Prestnolite ignition on the Gremlin just because, and I had to 
purchase a replacement vacuum
chamber for the distributor advance. I found out that rockauto no 
longer?lists?those Presto distributors,
? I have two other Presto distributors here?at home and they
both have blown vacuum chambers.? But they work when the work, so it's OK with 
me.
That's a job for tomorrow.
 
Also,tomorrow I need to put the Pertronix unit in the rebuilt distributor on my 
65 Rambler
and take it out on US 101 for the first time under it's own power.? Then drive 
it to work a couple days next
week.
 
I didn't have to worry about snow chains today.? In fact a few weeks ago I 
scrapped a pair of new chains that were hanging
in the garage, left behind by the previous owner.?
