When I was in high school, my girlfriend had a '72
Gremmy. In deep snow, it couldn't be stopped. On icy or rainy roads it was a
little squirrely. She ran biased snow tires all year.

Maybe you shouldn't drive ANY 30year old AMC in the snow (only Doc
can because he's a grumpy old Santa). Especialy a Gremlin, no amount of
sand in the back (what Back?) will fix your traction
problem. 'The
Mix'

My son's 72 Javelin had a 35 amp Motorola but no A/C
and when you had
the lights on and the defroster and the elect wipers
it was barely
marginal. Then turn on the stereo and the head lights
would go dim. It
finally died. His friends father had an ignition
repair shop and built
him a custom 65 amp Motorola which lasted a
week and re-built it again
and now it has been good for 1 1/2 years
but the car is not driven
regularly. There is supposed to be
clearance problems putting a Delco in
a V8 AMC with A/C on the
compressor. On the 74 and older Gremlin's and
Hornets with a 6 cyl
there is a steering box clearance problem putting a
Delco in if you
have power steering due to the larger box. Most of the
long time
members here remember what I had to go through to put a Delco
in my
orange car 1 1/2 years ago. Modifying brackets, machining
the
Motorola fan to fit the delco and finding a 1/2" shorter belt
and
shiming the drivers side moto
