Your car is a early build, Oct/1969-mid Nov/69.
Unusual is that it is a plain jane as most plain jane anything AMC
usually........and sadly......gets cannibalized for other cars. So seldom see
stuf on showfileds like a base six Javelin. Take time to look at them, they are
more important from a historical aspect than say a 343 loaded Javelin. You sure
say gently a lot Bill, got me a little worried about you. Most of us would have
used the $1.00 store chisle and sledge to remove it, then hold it up in the air
like record trout!

CANADIAN CAR!?
Eddie, THANKS FOR THE LINK!! EXCELLENT!! Now I have some idea of what and
where this car came from. I really appreciate your time and efforts! Let ya
all know the ins and outs of this car. Heres the vin.....
A0S060A137127.... From what I can decifer, this was an American made car
shipped to Canada. Year 1970 Three speed manual, Base model, 2dr sedan, 232
inline 6. Just your plain jain Hornet. I do believe that the c/c was not a
dealer installed option and it was genlty removed from the car the other day.
All parts where saved and gently wrapped in a cloth sheet and stored in a box
with a few moth balls for storage. If I do find out that it was a dealer
installed option, at least I will still have it and it will be in the shape
that it was in when pulled from the car. Thanks again for all the tips and
help I get from everyone here. Bill Id.

Bill the Canadian AMCs were built in Brampton,
Ontario, Canada. Later, Bramalea. But yours originated in Brampton. Here is
more about the VIN:
Speaking (no pun intended) on occasion you see
the AMC Canadian FRENCH AMC color catalogs. Yes, I can hear Bart
spitting his burrito across the room now thinking of
LA GREMLIN LA JOIE DE VIVRE A BON
MARCHE!
Go do a search on www.ebay.com for 'amc french' and check out
the brochures. Something, you, even Doc, who have Canadian built AMCs could
add too your collection. Great to put on your seat or dash as shows and
watch people freak out. Good way to meet French Canadian chicks too,
most of them have all their teeth, and they like AMC!

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. :)

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! Bill "confused in Northern Idaho" LOL!!
