I have an AMC 360 in my Jeep truck (‘73), I broke my oil dipstick and managed to get the broken piece out of the block. Have any of you ever replaced it with the stock manifolds on or did you just take the driver side one off? I’ve been at it for a while and trying everything except taking the manifold off but I think I might have to bite the bullet and just take the time tomorrow. Any suggestions or links to one you know fits well is appreciated.

Terrible catalog layout - look at that Machine!

Does anyone have a Gremlin or SC360 for sale?

Hello all, I am trying to get the Passenger handle removed on my 1976 AMC Hornet Base. I just wanted to check if there was a specific way to do it before I start paying on caps and potentially breaking something.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to track down a specific vintage magazine article for my Grandpa, He's been looking for it forever and can't seem to find it. Hoping he's got all the details he remembers right, its from Fall 1978 (likely the September, October, or November issue of Car Craft, Popular Hot Rodding, Hot Rod, Street Machine or a similar custom publication).

The article features a highly distinct, driven 1968 or 1969 AMC AMX two-seater that the owner took state-to-state to enter into various car shows.

Here are the specific details of the car and the article to help jog your memories:

• Car Name/Paint Name: "Old Glory" (the article mentions it started or defined a flag-themed design phase).
• The Main Paint Job: Metallic silver base coat with a highly realistic, blended, airbrushed ragged/tattered American flag. The flag graphic started right at the doors and went back to the rear wheel wells.
• The Hood & Scoop: A stock hood with the original twin factory gills, but modified with a manufactured L88 cowl induction hood scoop molded onto it. The scoop itself was painted silver to match the car, but had slight red, white, and blue blended into it.
• The Visual Style: My grandfather remembers this car clearly and recalled that the airbrushing looked incredibly real—like when it was driving by, the flag looked like it was literally disintegrating with the speed of the car.
• The Article Location: It was an inside color feature/spread, NOT the main front cover car.
• The Famous Lore: He said the text of the article includes a story about the driver getting caught and receiving a legendary 155 mph speeding ticket in Ohio during the strict 55 mph national speed limit era while traveling.
• SIDE NOTE: i showed him "Pat Kennedy's" All American AMX, Supposedly with the Lady Liberty Torch Paint Job. He said thats not the one, but almost every search i do brings me back to Pats Car. He says, Strictly silver with a "Blended/ Born look" red, white, blue TATTERED (no flames) Flag, that started at the Doors Going back. Silver (like car) Stock hood (gills) with a manufactured 188 cowl induction, with slightly blended red white blue in the silver.
  

Does anyone happen to know the exact magazine title or who owned this car so i can find pictures of it. I would love to find this for him!

Thanks in advance for any help or leads!

Here’s my 1973 Jeep truck that’s almost finished with an AMC 360. Just working on the ignition system and open to suggestions. I tried the HEI distributor and I can’t get it to fit right in the tight space. Also, does anybody have a picture of their battery set up that’s similar to the one pictured? I seem to be missing pieces but can’t figure out what I’m missing to keep the battery help down.

Hello, unfortunately it’s time to sell my eagle. I have owned this car for 9 years. It was garage kept for years and had a stunning all original interior. It has been sitting for 2 years as our financial needs shifted to pay for our kids college education. It was a great car and we would love for it to go to someone who appreciates it. The vehicle is located in Richmond va. The vehicle will need to be serviced owed as the tires are dry rotted. Asking price is $4000

PRICE DROP TO $30,000!!!!

Hope this is OK to post here, I think this community might be able to help? I posted this on some vintage ad subreddits, no dice so far, and my Googling is coming up empty.

I remember ages ago, there was an ad on TV for some kind of photo printing service, I think? Maybe Kodak, before it was clear they'd blown the digital move?

The narrative involves a young (adult) guy who is selling his AMC Gremlin ("Gremmy", IIRC), and uses the photo service to print up attractive posters to make the sale. There's a narrator speaking over the fast cuts between scenes, with a fast-talking, low, gravelly voice. He has this line that has stuck in my brain and become a household phrase is when the narrator has this riff, paraphrasing, "You can get enough money to go to COLLEGE! Enough money to go to college and buy a CHEESE burger!"

Does anyone else remember this, or did it come out of my fevered imagination?
