'65 American did not get a V8 option, so the AMC-15 is all the factory offered in that body.

I understand that however my rambler was heavily modified when purchased. along the way it had a 302 and c4 transmission installed. It did not have a torque tube instead it was an open drive line and the tag is no longer on the rear end.

Yep.   Oval cover with a fill plug.   Definitely an AMC 15.

Rambler Americans were always open drive, with leaf springs. Only the bigger chassis got torque tubes and coil springs, just FYI.

If it's been changed,  there's no way for us to just guess.
A picture might help us ID it.
