[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Rear end

["Rod" <rodb56@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Cindy,

I will assume you want to keep the repairs as simple as possible. 
Meaning you want a direct replacement to avoid the complications of 
modifications required to make other types/brands of rear ends fit. 
Given that...

The Eagle rear end mounts differently (springs over the axle) so it 
will not fit. Your best choice is a direct replacement taken from 
another AMC with a straight 6. As Davis Martin pointed out straight 6 
Gremlins, Hornets, Spirits, and Concords should be good donors.  I do 
not know the actual years and models that will be an exact 
replacement. I will see if I can get a Hollander Interchange number 
for verification of the years and models.

What problems are you having that make you think the rear end got 
ruined during the drive?

I am also curious where the rear end is leaking from? What was he 
filling it with?

Thanks, Rod

Right now that car is still completely original and is a straight 6. 
When he drove the car from WY to St. Louis the rearend was leaking so 
he had to keep filling it, I think it got ruined during the drive.  
We found an AMC Eagle in the local Salvage yard and it has the same 
engine, will that rearend fit?  As far as rebuilding it, he would 
just like to replace the whole thing so he can drive it agian.  He 
has a new alternator and the guy at the parts store told him that the 
regulator was internal, is this true? If not where is it located?  
Thanks agian for all your help.
