Final update:

I finally figured out how to wire the NSS relay properly. It took a while but I'm happy that I have a working NSS.

Checking in after the show. I took 1St Place in the "71-74 AMX/Javelin Class :cool: It wasn't hard to win my class since there were only two "Wide Body" cars at the show.

Here are pictures of the...

Just thought I'd give the folks that live in the Vegas area a heads up that Saturday November 8th is the Annual Southern Nevada AMC Club Show. It will be held 9am to 3pm at the Hacienda Hotel and...

74 AMX cars with autos had the same floor shifer as a standard Javelin with a floor shifter. I'm not sure about the cars with 4 speeds as all 4 Javelin/AMX cars I've owend have had auto trans.

It...

Another item. If you pull the Go-Pac, look carefully at the wiring harness. Cars with the Go-Pac had a wiring harness dedicated to the Go-Pac. Cars without the Go-Pac had a harness minus all of the...

You could order the Go-Pac from the factory. I have the Go-Pac in my car but not the Aluminum trim. My car is also not an SST so in stock form it appears to be a plain jane 6 cyl car. An A/C car...

I rewired my entire car with an aftermarket harness so I can't trace the pink wire.

I did the next best thing, I scanned the wiring diagram for a 74 Javelin without the 140mph speedometer. On the...

It sounds like a rear window defroster switch. The defroster is located in the center of the rear package tray. It should be square and black in color if it is still in place. It will contain a small...

There is not a lot of room in the radio area to fit the modern DIN radios. You have to hack a lot of stuff up. If you hack it is hard to find the parts to put everything back to original condition....

I had the same problem, both my engine harness and dash harness were badly hacked. I could find no one that did a 74 harness. The harness differs for each year of Javelin from 71-74. At one point I...

The last thing I needed to complete my interior was a stereo system. When I bought the car she had an original AMC AM/FM 8 track in the dash. Somewhere along the way I misplaced the unit and have not...

Update part 3

I obtained an 82 ohm 5 watt resistor and hard soldered it into the excitor wire. I fired her up and the charging system now works as it should. :)

Update part 2.

I contacted Painless about this problem and learned that by placing an 82ohm 5 watt resistor inline with the excitor should eliminate the problem.

An update to my previous post.

I have not been able to get my chrging system to work. I traced the problem to the voltage regulator. I purchased a new regulator and installed it. It worked for 3...

I got mine from AMX Enterprises. It was as close to OEM as I could find.

I changed from the Dark Saddle (Tan) to a very light tan. You basically prep the surface and spray it with a vinyl dye. You should be able to find it at you local upholstery shop. I ordered mine...

As some of you know I purchased an EZ-Wiring harness for my car.

I bought the 21-circuit setup and was glad I did.

Here are some things I learned.

1 – It is not easy and if you can’t read a...

My project moved under her own power today!!!!!!!!!!

I honed the rear wheel cylinders and replaced the brake shoes which was the last real time consuming thing I had left to drive the car safely....

I looked at the the link Big Bad AMX posted and tomorrow I will call them and get a quote on converting my ampmeter into a volt meter.

They should interchange as far as fitting them on the car. Some of the internals may be differnent.

I must be an idiot because that makes very little sense to me.

Thanks for the info on it being an ampmeter. I found the wiring for it in my manual but I don't get it either.

I guess I need a...

I’m just about finished getting my 74 Javelin back together. I am having a bit of trouble with tying up the loose ends of the wiring harness I installed. Specifically getting the Tach/Clock working,...

Those holes are for the large rubber 5mph absorbers on the 74 model year Javelins. They bolted to the bumper and had a sort of strap that extended down and bolted thru the rollpan to the nuts. Most...

I got carpet from AMX Enterprises about a year ago. It was sewn but didn't fit in my car real well. I ended up recutting, fitting and sewing it to fit my car. I would rather rect and sew that try to...

The new timing chain cover stayed on the motor it seemed okay. The cover that the oil filter spins onto was the culprit. It had a hole in it and was missing a passage. I cleaned up the old piece and...
