[edit] Edits
I've been printing an AMC magazine (http://farna.home.att.net/AIM.html) for eight years and have put a lot of time in editing this article. Of course anyone with anything to contribute is free to do so! I did just edit out some comments about the performance of a Sportabout wagon. The comments were appropriate to a discussion, but not to an encyclopedia entry, which should be restritcted to published facts (in accordance with Wikipedia policy). My main sources of information are AMC factory specification and service manuals. If someone needs AMC assistance, feel free to e-mail me at farna@att.net or check the AMC Mailing List out at www.amxfiles.com. Lots of AMC help there!
[edit] Horsepower figures
...regarding the hp figures for the 304, please note that the US auto industry switched from gross to net hp in 1972, so the 210 hp of the 1970-71 and the 150 hp of the 72-78 MAY in fact be the same, although you are correct about subsequent power reductions post '78. I remember off the top of my head that the 71-72 chevy 307-2bbl was the same engine, with 200 gross hp translating to 130 net the following year. I'll look for more info on the AMC stats. versen 22:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture request
Can we please get a better example of an AMC V8 to use as the main pic? That's a bit embarrassing, depending on how you look at it! :) Plasticboob 15 Jun, 2007
