_Having been raised just outside of Kenosha, Wisconsin (insert American Motors Corporation), my Dad wanted to support the local auto industry. (Hence the name, Kenosha canoes). Anyway we had a brand new '71 AMC Ambassador Brougham (and yes my Father opted for the big 401 versus the 360 engine). The car was white with a black vinyl top and burgundy interior. It was the car I took my driver's license examination in. Fun car for a 16 year old kid to drive for sure._

[@dodgeguyz]

30 year Chrysler,Jeep tech here. If they kept adding oil. You may want to check the pan on the bottom of the intake. There is a paper gasket that leaks and sucks in oil under load. And yes that front crank seal is stepped. The part that sticks out is smaller in diameter than the front cover. Make sure you replace the fuel filter too. These have an external filter back by the tank.

Here in Georgia, we never see these rust out, even when the paint is gone. But here they're rarely exposed to road salt. The bumpers get baked by the sun, though. They're really great, underrated vehicles. Easy and cheap to maintain.

Mine was a Ford Rancho something Red over White station wagon from Fergus Ford Skokie, IL. Big bench seat in front. When left in the car while mom shopped would burn holes in the upholstery of the front seat with cigarette lighter. No seat belts circa mid to late '50s. Love to have a survivor or even restored. Love you pulling the 5.9 back from the brink.

Back in the early 2000's I was running a white Kawasaki Tecate 4 learning everything I could about engines and working 3 jobs. AmsOil Dominator was the only one that kept that Tony Kelner ported, LA Sleeved animal with a 39 mm Sudco PWK from being rebuilt way beyond my budget. I taught some people how to ride it and that always ended with injury or a good story. Gotta thank Corey Sprock for recommending it when I was picking up extra shifts just to go faster than the 'Zillas and Banshees up the hills but still be able to ride it there and home. AmsOil helped the two stroke community with a brown plug reading @ 36:1 on pump gas when no other oil companies could. Forever respect.

Doesn't get much more DIY then this. Thanks for keeping it simple, and cost effective for the average person.

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

Love the rubber tube idea!! One trick to keep things clean. Take an old tupperware clear container with a stiff lid, cut a hole just big enough for the threaded section to fit in. Catches all the fuel and lovely crap that works out of the injector too. If you were to use a glass jar(no metal lid though...), you could really see the stream well. I set up a momentary-toggle switch on a board with the 9v battery wired in along with a pair of clips for the injector connections. You can trip the switch as fast as you want or just hold it for a long spray. Pretty nice system, dirt cheap. Running fuel through the injectors in reverse also clears out the filter cups in the top if needed.

[@BoSS-dw1on]

I love your enthusiasm with all of your cars. Even a $750 jeep with a plain engine. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Me, my brother & sister were tasked with looking out the back window to be on the look-out for "flying screwdrivers". I was too young to remember what the model was, but I'm certain it was a GM car.

Replacement crank seal. The Magnum's really like the normal "Performance" upgrades, but the biggest blockage/hold-up is the "Beer-Barrel" intake. It is designed just for torque and falls on it's ass after 4K RPM; an intake, better cam and tune make them really get moving
