Where did you get it from. I thought that's what it might be. I might run one on my Impala, because I cant use a stock bar.

amc's were bad in the late 60's and early 70'S. i spent 12 years in milwaukee wis. as a kid and i saw many different true muscle cars. the amc's were no low leak. i saw a brand new scambler at a new car dealership with its red white and blue paint job. it was wild.

VERY, VERY cool man. Post pictures of the accesories as you go. If they end up like the rest of the car, it should be stellar.

Default latest

guys

vintage air gen2 system came in..
installed the control in the gauge cluster..refinshed it more black.
i wanted to look factory with the air control installed i had already modified it to fit the autometer phantoms.which pop now.
built brackets to mount the condenser and evap case .underdash bracket bolts in so its easy to remove for the final assembly .

here is the before and after on the cluster
