How do you put a v8 in an amc Gremlin?
A Gremlin... we used to have one of those. I loved that car. Anyway, the Gremlin's did have a V-8 option and so the easiest way would be to find all the factory stuff and go that route. Yeah baby, maybe put an AMC 360 or 401 in there with the torque flite tranny. You'd be smokin' then dude. But if that's not possible, you'll have to do it the good old fashioned way and make everything. Motor and tranny mounts, drive line, cooling system, etc. Have fun and way cool.

How can you translate the trouble codes on a 1981 AMC Eagle?
I found a book at my local library called 'Chilton's Repair & Tune-up Guide American Motors 1975-82 and it has a list on trouble codes and a general description of what might be the problem on page 139-140. 32 different codes are listed. The AMC eagle doesn't use "trouble codes". The diagnostic connector is an analog connection that allows you to monitor engine conditions. 1981 is the one year when trouble codes ARE flashed on the instrument panel via the 'check engine' light. The translations are in the 1981 AMC service manual. Check out this site for directions on how to wire up a diagnostic tool.

Where is the location of the barometric pressure sensor on a 1992 Eagle Summit 1.5 l engine?
The BPS is built into the airflow sensor on the air filter housing lid.
I had a 1983 AMC concord it was my first car. Finding parts for them even back in 1989 was tough because they changed their suppliers in mid production. My valve cover leaked oil because of a strange design on how they were fastened to the head. The bolts came out the top of the cover instead of around the rim. I managed to find a kit that replaced the head bolts that has threaded posts to fasten around the edge instead of the factory design. Until you change the bolts you will never get the cover tight enough to not leak. Trust me I tried. Unless your car has a different design, which is possible with an AMC of that year. Try to find one of these kits (they come with a new valve cover and the retro fit head bolts)and then replace the valve cover gasket. Be careful not to tighten it too tight as i did and cracked the cover which was plastic. The bolts should be tightened in inch pounds and not foot pounds. I did foot pounds and it cracked. Good luck! I liked that car it really was nice riding and had good power. I could smoke the tires pretty easily.
How do you replace the starter on a 1986 amc eagle?

How do you replace the water pump on a 1982 AMC Eagle?
Remove fan shroud, radiator, fan clutch and fan blades. Then the water pump bolts will be accessible. You can avoid removing the plate that goes across to the P.S. pump, but you do have to remove the bracket bolted to the top of the engine block that supports the belt tensioner. Be sure to use a reverse rotation (serpentine belt) or a standard rotation (v-belt) water pump depending on your vehicle.

Is is possible to swap a 242 L6 4.0L Jeep engine into a 1987 AMC Eagle with a 258 L6 4.2L engine?
With some modification it could be done
The blocks are nearly the same. If you use the 258 intake and distributor in the 4.0; the only part that will need modifying is the exhaust from the manifold. I did one in a weekend using a 727 from a 91 wagoneer and a 02 4.0 engine. I used the 258 intake, carb, and distributor. I used the old v belt system to make it easy. It's easier to mod up an engine that's already running than making it work later.
Can you patch an air condition condenser with epoxy?
Yes, underwater glue has been used on home A/C condenser coils and plastic drain plans.
Yes, we did. I live in the Philippines, Asia, I had trouble with my car condenser and is costly to have four holes to be welded. Aluminum welding, so we decided to use Devcon epoxy. It worked until now. It is still working and its been six month.

The 1980 AMC Eagle with a 6-cylinder engine producing 100 horsepower has a maximum speed of approximately 90-100 mph.
