Jeff i purchased a new "B" scheme SC/Rambler in 1969. Its weak points were the axles ,clutch, small carb. I put henry's axles in rear leaving stock 3.54 gear and added a heavier pressure plate. With a set of slapper bars and stock torgue links the car would hardly spin when launched at 5,000 with street tires. Other mods an offenhauser manifold, 750 holley, advance kit in distrib. I used stock cam but shimmed valve springs and installed antipumpup lifters. with combination I could leave at 5,000 shift at same and it would run 6,000 in highgear. It was a killer on the street as most cars I ran against couldn't hook or run as fast on top end.
As you know I have been racing these AMC cars ever since.
