Eddie,
First, my sympathy and condolences on the passing of your dad. I'm sure that's been difficult for you and your family
I was hoping you had a couple minutes tolend some AMC advice.
1. Could you tell me who a good contact is to discuss problems
with an AMCV-8? My 343 chewed up a cam gear 2x's in the last year. Once was because my the top gear of my "brand new" edelbrock timing chain wasn''t machined right and the oil wasn't passing from the front lobe of the cam out to the cam and distributor gear. It self destructed a second time this fall and we have no idea why as the new timing chain and gear set was machined properly, I got new cam and distributor gears from Kenneday American, and we made sure everything meshed up good.
I've read alot on the AMC forum, talked to Jeff Kennedy (he is stumped) and even have BJ's book , but, is there anyone really good on these things that I or my engine guy can talk to to sort this out? I saw the Halverson name and Herman Lewis on your vendor list, but wasn't sure if they would want to be bother by such a thing.
I know you are busy with your kids and all so I really appreciate your time. I know what it's like, we have a 20 month old little girl and she just flat wears us out!!
Anyhow, thanks for any help you can provide
