AHFS question......am a bit confused

[Eric Merryfield]

Ok, many years ago I got 2 HP off the 77 AMC 258 114 2 barrel combo. The 77 AMC Pacer running the same 258 114 2 barrel combo also got the 2 HP reduction down to 148HP.

In mid year 2016 the 77 Pacer running the same motor combo got the 2 HP put back on back to 150HP for both the 77 pacer and the 77 Gremlin. I assumed that it was the engine family rule as before.

Now the 77 Pacer gets the 2 HP off back to 148, shouldn't the 77 Gremlin running the same Engine Combo, also go to 148HP?

Before I send a letter to Tech, asking for clarification.

Thanks

Eric
