Still waiting my turn for an engine rebuild from AZ Restorations in AZ

 It's been almost a year since I put down a deposit with AZ Restorations in AZ.   There have been supply chain issues and of course COVID was the main cause of delays.   My 69 AMX 390 runs good and is fast but has some lifter noise and seems to top out at 65 mph.   During the build we will update the 4speed and rear end to handle the 400 hp motor Dan Curtis creates.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks to Leon P. from FB Group - Found NOS sidemarkers

Thanks to Leon P. from FB Group - Found NOS side markers for my 69 AMX.   They are in great shape.  After install I found that there is a short on the passenger side so I've only got one side working so far.  

Classic Car or Antique?

Classic Car or Antique?

My wife calls her an antique based on her being 50 years old. 

I refer to "Ellie" as a classic car or hot rod.  Most people would agree.

That all changed sort of a few weeks ago when we were out for a ride in the sun when two blocks
from home we hard a loud noise.   I thought I ran over something but my wife said something fell off the car.   "No way", I said looking back in my rear view mirror.    Something was in the street so I backed up and my wife got out.

She returned with my horn in her hand.   Antique she said.

I didn't have an answer, sort of embarrassed that the horn just fell off.

Weird.

Found the part at American Parts Depot - One Down - One to Go

After a false start, I found the brake differential valve at American Parts Depot.   That completes a full brake overhaul - complete.

We are still having issues with the fuel and temp gauge.   I've already replaced the instrument regulator - no joy.   We are going to pull apart the dash to see if their is corrosion.

I haven't found a set of used gauges yet but I created an flag so if one pops up I'll get notified.

Looking for a 1969 AMC AMX 140 speedometer - Go Pack

Please post a comment if you can help me find this part.

Thanks
