New member - rebuilding my '69 AMX 390
I found my Pompeii Yellow 390 Go Pack in Huntington Beach, California, in 2001 and moved her to Cleveland, via Kentucky for a year, then Columbus for nearly a decade more. I'm attempting to keep my restoration as stock as possible, but am making compromises when practicality becomes necessary. So far, I've:
- rebuilt the carb (after it spewed gas all over the engine, 100 miles from home)
- returned the black stripes (one of the 3 previous owners had painted her blue)
- replaced the carpet and added Dynamat everywhere (I could only find black at the time, I'm planning on returning to the tan/brown/saddle colors she originally had)
- replaced the coil and plugs with an Accel Super Stack and 8.8mm wires
- paid to have a Mallory Unilite distributor installed
- paid to have the front suspension rebuilt (so it wasn't like driving on a waterbed anymore)
- paid to have the valve covers replaced
I'm currently in the middle of:
- replacing all battery cables
- replacing the solenoid
- cleaning the alternator
- rebuilding the steering pump (thread asking for help on this one coming soon)
So...glad to be here, looking forward to tips and tricks, and sharing experiences.
