Jeff,
Your probably right. Maybe it was just the 70' nose looked better than the 69'.
From an AMC marketing stand-point, the new-style was the way to go.
The new 'dog-leg' heads would only work, if they went through 'Crane' for
modifications.
Maybe AMC's original thought was to try to back door the newer heads
on to the 69' S/S cars, after they were converted to 70' cars.
Greg Long of AMC (Elmsford HQ), said, he thought that AMC would be willing to build (7) 70' AMX S/S cars (in January 70') with the new style heads. Once out there, they would push the 70' conversion kits for the 69' S/S racers.
