Where is the fuse box on an Eagle 2000 GTX?
The fuse box is under the dash on the left hand side. Right above the foot rest if installed.
If you are having trouble finding information about the 2000 GTX you can look at information for Mitsubishi Galants of the same year as they are nearly identical cars.
Which spark plug do you use for a AMC Pacer -75 258 cid?
For all the AMC / Jeep straight sixes from the 1960's and 70's, the original plug was the Champion N12Y. If the car was used mostly for short trips, we would put in a little bit "hotter" plug, N14Y.
For me it would be too much, but! I say but, because this type car which is 43 years old, is worth what someone will pay. Condition has lots to do with what it is worth. Body style also is very important. A convertible, and 2 door hardtop is worth more than a 2 door sedan and way more than a 4 door sedan. Engine is another factor. A V8 is a plus, and a 6 cylinder is a minus. The more facory options the better. So the bottom line is: What is it worth to you?

Here's a very short history from AllPar: "Failing automakers Hudson and Nash merged their fortunes to become American Motors Corporation, hoping that they could reap some economies of scale. Eventually, due to slow sales for their overweight cars, they were bought by Renault, partly to increase Renault's sales in the US. Renault's attempt failed, and Chrysler, under 'buy and sell' Iaccoca, bought AMC. Iaccoca, for unknown reasons, dropped the AMC name, replacing it with Eagle."
How do you change a heater core in a 1988 Eagle Premier 6 clyander?
Replacing a heater core on any vehicle is a hard job and that is by a someone that has skill and practice with replacing heater cores. So make sure that it is really bad before attempting this. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most difficult, most are at a minimum a 5 and some can be a 15. This is not a repair that I would suggest you undertake unless you have lots of time and information is on your side. It can sometimes take hours even if you know what you are doing. Take the time to think this over before you start because it is a difficult and time consuming job. The hardest part is just getting to the core. You have to know how to remove everything necessary to get to it without breaking something. It is very seldom close to being easy. That is one job I always dreaded when I was working.
What should compression be for a 360 amc?
You should look for consistancy in compression readings rather than individual numbers-- all cylinders should be within 10% of each other i.e. 150 ok with 135-165
AMC 360 engine that has a small water leak somewhere at the back of the engine what could it be?
There is a freeze plug on the back of most engines that or a hose is leaking. Start with the hoses that go thru the firewall to the heater core inside the car. Good Luck and Remember.

What would you have to do to use 343 pistons in an AMC 360 if you can?
The 343 is a GEN-2 AMC V-8, the 360 a GEN-3. The difference in the block is a 0.16" deck height and corresponding stroke increase. The 360 uses a longer rod, and also a different piston pin height than the 343. I don't recall the difference in piston pin height (center of pin to top of the piston), but that is different as well. The 343 used 10:1 compression and a flat top piston with valve reliefs. GEN-1 heads have a smaller combustion chamber than MOST GEN-2 engines, the exception being 1970 through mid 1971 GEN-2 heads. These have the castin number ending with "291C" and beginning with "319". Compression will be less than 10:1 with the flat-top pistons even with the small chambers due to the 343 pistons lower pin height, but will be more than the stock 8:1 compression. The same is true even with big chamber mid 70-91 GEN-3 heads. The 343 pistons will mount on the 360 rods, just check pin height and valve clearance. Once pin height is measured compression can be determined. It should be around 9-9.5:1 depending on heads used.

What direction should the rotor be facing at TDC on a amc 360?
first you need to get a diagram that shows you were number one plug wire goes, and then the rotor should be pointing at it when the motor is a tdc, but if it helps mie was facing the drives side.
What did a 1980 amc spirit cost new?
With taxes and tags, my Spirit cost $7,000.00 I forget how much the base price of the car was.
It was automatic, had dual mirrors, ac .... I LOVED THAT CAR!!!
I almost purchased one, basic model, asking price $5,200. Should have purchased it, didn't realize it had rustproofing. I thought the steering was a bit loose and wasn't comfortable with AMC reliability. I ended up with a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird.

If the car has an automatic transmission, then it might have lock up torque converter. If the torque converter is engaged while the engine is at idle, then the engine will stall. Bring the vehicle to reputable transmission repair facility and have the replace the torque converter clutch solenoid.
Why does your 1991 AMC Eagle stall at stop lights?
There are no 1991 AMC Eagles, you must mean 1981 AMC Eagle. Stalling can be caused by many things but more than likely it is a carburetor problem.
Is there an optional 2-4 WD shift mechanism for the original vacuum system for 80 -88 AMC Eagle?
It was never optional, however the early 1980-1983 models had the NP119 transfer case which did not have a 2WD mode, thus no selector was on those models (they were 100% 4WD all the time). Due to market pressure, later models from 1984-1988 all had the NP129 transfer case which was the selectable one, and all had a selector on the dash using a vacuum shift system. This was to satisfy consumers who didn't want to lose a couple miles per gallon when they didn't need the 4WD (and so the advertising could tout the slightly higher MPG figures). Sometimes AMC did some odd things depending on parts they had available, so there could be a few NP119's (and lack of selector switch) in 1984 models - aside from what previous owners might have swapped/modified.
What did Barack Obama do before he ran for president?
President Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983 and moved to Chicago in 1985 to work for a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods. He became convinced that having more of a legal background would help him as an advocate, so in 1989, he decided to return to school, and was accepted to Harvard Law School. He graduated, with academic honors, in 1991. Mr. Obama was a professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years. He next went into politics, serving in the Illinois state house (where he was re-elected several times) and then becoming a United States Senator. He served in that capacity till he decided to run for president.

Remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner, then unbolt the alternator from its bracket. Disconnect the wiring harness and remove the alternator from the engine bay. Install the new alternator by reversing the steps, ensuring all connections are secure and the belt is properly tensioned.
