1967 American Motors Rambler - Build a $3,500 Street Machine
 The Concord also provided...  The Concord also provided the GM-style throttle cable that required a 1/2-inch hole in the firewall and a $16 generic throttle bracket to install. Yes, our 20-year-old Holley 3310 is a leaker. That will probably be the next speed part we add. |  We gambled and took the gas...  We gambled and took the gas pedal from the Concord as well-then heaved a sigh of relief when it bolted up to the firewall with no trouble. |  This is a new disc-brake master...  This is a new disc-brake master cylinder that fits the '68-'74 Javelin and the Gremlin and Hornet from '70 to '76. We added the 1/2x20 fitting adapters and a brake-light pressure switch from a street rod T-bucket kit. Admittedly, it needs a proportioning valve, but it seems to be OK if you don't panic stop. |

 The interior cleaned up nicely....  The interior cleaned up nicely. The TCI shifter is a must-have because the stock linkage from the column wasn't going to work with the 904 TorqueFlite. It can also be used for overdrives, like if we swapped in a GM 200-4R. |  The factory warning lights...  The factory warning lights and gauges were junk. These are Auto Meter electric Cobalt gauges that cost a little extra but can be used with the stock fuel sender and do not require nasty oil lines and capillary tubes running through the firewall. Just a couple of wires tucked into the harness. |  Here it is on game day. Plan...  Here it is on game day. Plan on seeing it with more motor, wheels and tires, and some drag racing action soon. |
