Re: [AMC-list] what did you do

I used to hammer the 196 iron engine in my Classic.
Back in the "I can't drive...55"days.
Get on the pa turnpike and wait for the bait car to pass me, wind it up to 80 and just keep him in sight. You'd be amazed at how well it worked! I actually saw some of these guys get pulled over.

The iron engine never missed a beat, though once and a while the wiper blade fell off! :)
