Re: Rambler All-American
I remember that car.
Ronnie Holland out of Hyannis, Mass. from Cape Motors. The sedan was equipped with a 343. If I recall correctly, that car was briefly an AHRA National Record Holder in Formula 4 Stock D/S AHRA Record 12.83 @ 109.46 MPH That car flew back in 1968.

Re: Rambler All-American
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.

Re: Rambler All-American
Rambler Typhoon was actually the name of the 232 6cylinder engine introduction .AMC made 2520 Rambler 770 classics Badged Typhoon.All cars are solar yellow with painted black roofs. All had Ambassador dashes,all had black interiors. All were 2 door hardtops,1 year only.When Amc introduced their new V8 design ,,they took the typhoon name from the 6.I believe the typhoon. Name was only used for the 290 and 343 V8 engines.
