Sounds to me like dealer crusie. Very rare item. If you do remove it, cut NOTHING. Remove it slowly and carefully, and gather all the components together, then toss them on eBay and see what happens. :) John W Rosa www.JavelinAMX.com -----Original Message----- From: BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Renshaw Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 1:44 PM To: BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Dealer installed C/C!? CANADIAN CAR!? F.L.B.T.?? ARRRGGG!! I got to messin' around with my Hornet yesterday, and before I do my Homer impression, and do sumfin' really stoopid, I was wondering if anyone here could give me some info on this car. This c/c has got me just stumped and before I go cuttin' and a yankin' stuff out. I would like to know if this c/c would or could be a dealer installed/option accesory. Come to find out this c/c doesnt look like, after all, an aftermarket item. It has brackets that mount to the carb, that look like a factory or dealer installed item. The vacume "box" that runs the c/c, on the p/s inner fender look like its been there for the life of the car The "funny little blue thingy" which I now will refer to it as F.L.B.T. on the intake manifold, which I have never seen before, which has its own supply of vacume, off of the intake, which has a vacume line that comes from the distributor. The vacume advance, which has 2 vacume lines(never seen that before either) one goes to the carb as normal(vacume spark as normal) and one goes to the F.L.B.T. When the car runs(which is really good) the F.L.T.B. makes a funny little "clicking" sound. The F.L.T.B. has a vacume line that goes to the "box" for the c/c. The car came with the original owners manual and it states that there was a dealer/option installed c/c. Could this c/c be a dealer installed option? I thought that the car would of came from the local AMC dealer in Moscow Id. On the back of the owners manual someone had wrote where the car and what dealer the car came from. It came from a dealer in Calgary Canada. CANADA!!?? Why would someone buy a car in Canada and bring it to the States? Is that, or was that a common practice? I need a sevice manual and my "cherished" clymer or chilton or what ever it is only goes back to 71 and has nothing about a c/c. I know that I have alot of questions and I hope that I didnt confuzz anyone here more than what I am already. Anyone who can, once again, point me in the direction of a service manual for a 1970 AMC Hornet, and maybe give me some idea on the c/c and the Canadian thing. I really dont want to do anything to the car, and do the Homer Simpson thing, like, tear stuff out that maybe very rare and very hard to find and then........ D-OH!
