How do I know that a forum member didn't get there first and change it just to confuse the issue? Bet the brakes on that car don't work so well, the brake lines are cut and pinched. (so it's been modified) Makes me wonder - why did someone move mine, then?

Bill....
I'm convinced now that the ground for the blower motor goes to the top screw on the brake proportioning valve. I found another javelin at the yard and it was there just like the other ones I found. Just thought you'd like to know....proof is in the pics!.....LOL...

Bill, I have the correct tail light housing bolts, correct "J" hook for the spare tire and the clip for the trunk light...
Chuck, What cars are you checking out? Skyway in Buffalo has a 68 and a 70 Javelin. I know they both have the drip rail trim. The 70 still has the original AM radio and faceplate. Not too bad but I didn't have time to pull them. Edited by 71SC360 - Nov/26/2007 at 10:23am |

I ended up putting later 70 tail light housings in, so my tail lights now use bolts.
The acorn nuts were used through early Feb, I believe, then they switched from studs cast into the housing to holes, with bolts.
I have acorn nuts for when I get my original housings restored. For now, I'm using later housings and would like to get the correct bolts for them.

Funny you mention the tail light bolts..or acorn nuts?? My car has the original ones but a few are bent up. I know there are a few left on the one Javelin so thats one item I was planning on grabbing. If I end up with any extra your welcome to them. I doubt that there will be a "J" hook. I bought mine from APD. These cars are pretty picked over and rusted. One is pretty much gone but there are a few usable parts on the other...like the trim....some glass....

Please do! IS there a good spare tire hold-down in there? The "J-hook" ?
I need an original short style hook since no one seems to like my spare tire the way AMC installed it.
I also need the bolts that hold the taill lights in place and the clip that holds the trunk light wire to the trunk lid hinge.
