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

Re: AHFS question......am a bit confused
I received a hp reduction one year, and it applied to several other combos.. However, when they updated the guide(s), mine was not updated but all the other combo's were. I had to write them to get it fixed, so definitely write the letter.

Re: AHFS question......am a bit confused
...and yet my 1979 Spirit/AMX, using the very same smog 258 engine as these '77-79 cars do, the same head, same intake, and the same carburetion, is still listed at 150. Really on the ball out there aren't they? You'd think they'd look down the charts for what this engine combo was used in and adjust them all, but I guess not.
Doesn't matter to me yet, as I can't reach the index without a big influx of money, but someday I hope to be writing too.
