So, you thought TTI was a little expencive.... try AMC

[IRON MAN]

I had a customer in today saying he can't get a water pump for a 72 and older AMC.

Galvin's Rambler and AMC, Lodi, California, sells water pumps for the AMC line. I bought a water pump from him that is now on my 68 AMX 390. His facility is in the process of moving to Oregon. You may have to let the phone ring  ten times. (209) 365-6380. Or, go to their website.

Thanks: I'll let him know. He just found an original 72 AMX with all the options and he's getting it running. I like helping guys with the not so normal cars. He also has a 68 AMX.

Technically, a '72 AMX is a glorified Javelin with what AMC calls an AMX trim level, and unlike the 68-70 AMX because the '71 and newer Javelin AMX has a back seat, and is known as a "Humpster" due to the Corvette like humps in the front fenders.

That is a BIT pricey but like other have said you pay for what you get. IMO I think TTI are best bet for the money.

wow,and I thought my ceramic coated Dougs were expensive!

Mopar guys hate money, there is no doubt about it when you consider how much it costs to buy parts for these cars. AMC guys are masochistic, restoring an AMX makes a Challenger seem like a Camaro in comparison.

Then there are the guys who are in to Ferrari's and other exotics, I don't even know where to begin with them.

The bargain headers for my '00 BMW M5 are $2500.  The "good" version equivalent to Doug's/TTI start at $5k and the ultimate equal length jobs from Dinan were $8k when you could still get them.  I'm glad that car will be going down the road soon and I can deal with the lower "M" tax with the Cuda.
