 There are those who claim to be the AMC community's best friend who are actually taking advantage of gullible members of our community. They tend to haunt the AMC forums selling parts that can be obtained for less elsewhere without undue delay.

 Regarding AMC dipsticks: They can be difficult, particularly the common chrome plated ones. A neat trick for those running headers who sometimes need to remove them is to cut a 2" section off the top of an old tube (the fatter part), then cut the new chromed one 1" above the resting flange. That way you can drive the 2" section onto the bottom section while driving it home. It will go, I use a 5/16" bolt inserted into the section being inserted into the block to hit with the hammer. That way you have a socket for the upper portion that can be removed when removing headers. It wont leak and can be removed from the bottom with a 1/4" bolt inserted into the tube to tap on. Before driving the thing into the block make sure it's positioned through the pan's baffle.
