Re: [gremlintime] 401 Vs. gas prices

["GremlinAMC" <GremlinAMC@xxxx>]

the cam might stay stock, I don't know what it has for carb right now but it
might go, headers YES!! Ratio that is something I have to find out, and the
way it looks I will be getting a 4 speed with OD or a 5 speed whatever.
Right now the motor in her is a 232 dinky little thing but I might be
happier with it don't know because iv only had her on the road 1 hour for
transportation with a bad license but she made it home now she needs some
work, got the oil changed has A/c and Pwr Steering the A/C is disconnected
but soon to be fixed.
Iv also got a Guy up her that has two gremlins out in his back woods they
look sick and might only be parts, one is a 1975 Gremlin X and the other is
a 1974 Gremlin both had a 232 " something nice about reading VIN #'s. Both
stereos have been scraped "I'll get over it" but they both have good driver
side doors my door is rusting away on that side :( but the 74 should line up
I think, I also need to scrap the windshield wiper motor both cars have
perfect glass, dash is a mess but I think the 75 isn't that bad. But the way
the Gremlin X is it aluminum? If so, I think I can get that to, I love that
little X.
Well I think I blabbed enough,
so I'll stop wasting your guys time thanks for helping out though
anyone else with some good info can always but in, and I'll listen,
Later Fellas,
Rich
