Well i went by the mecca to exchange a radiator. I bought a summit classic rad for my c-10. Welp it showed up in a chicom recycled ricepaper tattered and torn carcass of what was once a shiiiitty chinese box, and of course it was demolished so i toodled on down to summit and the promptly rxchanged it for a pristine example in an american quality box. I notice the bargain “ demo” markdown stuff was gone. I asked what happened? They said they had so much stuff coming in they opened a showroom/ store in the back of the rather expansive summit complex. So i wandered back there when i was done and strained my old eyes for a good while trying to find amc treasures. I found an edelbrock amc water pump, it was the short one for early engine. 330 $ new, marked down to 120. I thought, well it still a ripoff compared to a gmb pump, but its a helluva good deal for a edelbrock pump, its not exactly what i need being a short pump but hey i can make a 1/16th shim and then it’ll be a masterpiece. So i got that. I saw a pretty cool world class t-5 for about a thousand. I thought thats a good deal. Buy i passed on it. I looked through most everything and found a bunch of jeep headers. Pass. I then found an omix ada bellhousing. Its for amc but not sure about the trans. I got a good feeling about it tho. Think i’ll do some research and recheck on it tommorrow. I got a feeling it might be a score. Fun trying to finf cheap deals but its so hard on my skull eyeballing so much stuff at once. They also had a very interesting quick fuel brawler, interesting to me becaust its a 570 cfm vac sec carb, and it was pretty cheap. I might give it another look too. Found a amc mini starter, but it was actually a pretty big hi torque unit. Interesting but a pass. Think i’ll go back and treasure hunt some more.

How much was the mini starter? I might have to talk you out of that Edelcock water pump.

I cant recall zactly what the deal on the starter was. I can recheck tomorrow. It was a pretty stout looking starter, i would guess its nearly as long as a stock starter but smaller diameter. I been getting these really small ones, and fit my headers around them, so i wasnt super into the summit starter. I’m kinda into the edelbrock pump. Its just the plain cast finish pump , but i think its a keeper.

Cool. I might like that starter, if it's not too much trouble and $$ to pick it up and send it my way.

I’ll get a picture of it tomorrow. Be on your toes around 6 pm for it . Seems like it was around 200 bux. I like this starter made by alterstart. I havent bought any in a while. Or if they are still in business.

Love the junk table. Ours sucks now. They did have Poly motor mounts for $50 for an AMC the last time I was there.

Well we got a whole goddamn showroom of shit. I bet its like a 70x70 area at least. Engine transmission rear end, the one thing i didnt see was body and interior stuff . They had a dozen or so injections, like fitech and stuff. I didnt look at em at all. Maybe i should ? The carb section was funny. There were a bunch of em disassembled in boxes. Like maybe some dumbass tore em apart looking for demons. I guess summit takes a lot of shit back at a loss in interest of customer satisfaction. I noticed I get a little freaked out in there. Like someone is gonna get something cool before i find it. Its kinda psychotic.

We used to have a separate room, before the big remodel, to make it more of a Show and T-Shirt Palace.
We used to gut a ton of carbs, in plain card board boxes, top of the box cut off and clear packaging tape over it, with Edelcock carbs as you discribed. Top removed, loose parts in the box, about 75 bux, but that was 3 years ago, before they got rid of our table, then kind of brought it back. I think you store may be the mail order capitol now, and it gets all the returns from all over the Cunt-tree. Then out junk table is just from local returns.

I got a quick fuel 570 brawler carb, new , but the plastic choke heater was busted, 200 bux . I passed on the world class t-5 motorsports trans cuz it looked like it was installed. I figured something was jacked in it. The place filled up with treasure hunters quick on this friday nite, so i bailed out early. I forgot to bring my measuring kit.

Tons of that stuff will be getting flipped on your local FB Marketplace. We had a dozen guys that made a living off of it.

Yeah i notice on the non prime timrs( not friday night or weekends) there are some pro pickers therr really sciencing out the offerings. I kinda figure amc specific stuff isnt a big deal, but i could be wrong. Its mostly chevy, less ford, less mopar, and scant anything else. I actually looked at an international harvester cam!

They used to have these Big Weekend Sales at ours. The Prices weren't any better, they just kept rolling shelves full of stuff out. Friday was the best/biggest day. We'd be there a half hour before the doors opened. We'd be the 3rd ones in, there were already carts in the isles Piled up with Intakes and rear end stuff. Posis, axles center sections. About 3 guys had inside connection that picked for them already. People brought that up to the POSs at Scummit, and they claimed, "those guys are just really fast. lmao, yeah, 60 intakes in 1 second. Sure.
Just say you're Gay, and you suck these guys dicks and hook them up. The Lie is the issue.
The one Guy used to fake being a Cripple, he'd come in with his Wife to make people feel sorry for him. Then she'd push people out of the way. We saw him at The Crapfield Swap Meet buying flips. Funny how he can walk 30 miles all of a sudden.
Get a job you Piece of shit. That Table and the Swap Meets are great for $8 an hr losers like me to be able to build a Car. Like that POS Deano. I'll shit on gAyMC junk before I give a flipping cocksucker a dime.
