http://instagram.com/p/Bip36h9Ap1K 1980 AMC Spirit. Getting a new motor next weekend. Nothing fancy just a 350ish 300hp iron bloke and heads. Taking out a race built 405 with a 200-4r that ran high 8s to rebuild. Before that was a small block of unknow size that ran 13s with a th350. Leaving in the 200-4r and what I believe are 410 gears. Also geyting a new fangle self learning EFI throttle body system. |

Looks similar to the old AMC Gremlin. Same chassis under the skin. Also the same as the Pacer, Hornet, Concord and Eagle SX/4. |

That E15 is probably acidic. Check for corrosion in the fuel system. Old E10 almost completely dissolved my in-tank fuel pump assy.
