    Always put those screws back in place on those drums. If you were ever out of your mind on PCP doing 100 mph with the police chasing you then you would understand.
    See first they try and stop you by shooting out your tires. You don’t care, you out your mind. You continue at high speed on them rims. Soon flames and sparks are flyin off them rims. You don’t slow up none. Before you know it them rims is gone and all you gots is them drums with those safety screws holding them on. Ask James Brown he tell you.

    This guys has good taste in tools! My dad always said AMC engine blocks had higher nickel content in the iron. Somehow that made them better or stronger or something.

    • @danielheartsill4269

    • @todddenio3200
      @todddenio3200 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Higher nickel content (within reason) makes a block stronger and less prone to wear. Some Mopar blocks (ie. old school Hemis and later on the 2.2 and 2.5 for cylinders) used high nickel content as did Cadillac up until the mid to late 70’s and a few others. If an older engine was known for being tougher than most and would hold up to reaching very high mileage compared to most others with minimal cylinder wear or other block issues, odds are it was a higher nickel content.

    • @MortskeRepair
      @MortskeRepair  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      You know, for when blocks just randomly disintegrated from all the power within! I do remember folks saying that about Cadillac engines too. You should dig into that to quench your knowledge Wes.

    The BW transmissions were either an M11 or an M12. The V8 cars had the M12. That rear axle is a corporate Rambler/AMC model 20. The gear set and carrier is fairly stout, but the 2 piece axle shafts are the known weak point. They are a pressed tapered fit. Not sure if anyone is making one piece shafts in length for that version, but Jeep kits are readily available.Rebels an Ambassadors could be had with anything from the straight six, to the 390. V8's were available in 290, 343, and 390 until 1970 when they raised the deck height to make the range of 304, 360, and 401 motors.

    That Rebel really brings back great memories! My dad was an AMC mechanic many years, therefore us kids drove pretty much every AMC model at some point. Everything from Pacers to Grand Wagoneers. He drove a '68 Rebel with a 3434bbl as a work car, had a '74 Ambassador SST 4dr as moms car, an In Jr. high school, I drove a '69 Ambassador SST 2dr with the 3434bbl,an auto on the floor, a real luxury sporty car!! He bought a new Eagle when they first came out, then another new one in '84. Finally when Chrysler took them over, he reluctantly bought a new '89 Plymouth Acclaim. Those 258 inline 6's an the 343's were great engines! 😉

In 1957, the Rambler Rebel was the fastest accelerating American production car with the sole exception of the Corvette. It was the car that the song, "Beep, Beep" was written about.

    The first Rambler Rebel came out in 1956. It came with the new 250/327 V8 also used on the Nash Ambassador & Hudson Hornet. In 1961, Rambler changed the name to Classic. Then in 1962, Rambler dropped the V8 in the Classic and shared the body with the Ambassador, making the Ambassador the only V8 Rambler that year. In 1963, Rambler changed the body of the Classic and Ambassador, then added the 287 V8 to the Classic, using the same block as the Rambler 327 V8. Some of the Ramblers starting in 1965 had a disc brake option available. The Rambler Marlin was one of those cars. Any AMC car of the 70s can serve as a disc brake donor car to the 60s Ramblers with no problem. I have a 62 Rambler Classic that my dad bought brand new. It's a California model with California Emissions (factory PCV valve instead of down draft vent). California mandated new cars sold in California starting with 1961 models to come with closed crankcase to control smog causing fumes. Rambler, Cadillac and Jaguar came with dual master cylinders starting that year.

    One of those vibrating scrapers with the semi flexible 2-inch blades makes easy work of removing the vinyl and undercoating

    Rear brake drum removal: Here's a trick I picked up n the sixties. Rambler, Studebaker and Mopars at the time used the tapered axle shaft and key, so pullers were widely used.
    Just remove the axle nut, attach the puller, tighten down and swat it with your favorite Tonya! Whole thing comes off. Then you can soak the drum to hub area down, then later simply knock it out later (after taking out the screws). Interestingly, all three of those makes and some Fords used the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, but Mopar used locating pins on some models, necessitating either the right rims or cutting the stupid pins off! Lastly, the axle is probably either a Dana 27 or 44. The 44 is still being used in the front of some 4x4 pickups. I don't know when they first came out, but I had a 1956 T-Bird that was so equipped.

    That car looks really good under there. After Dubs chipped his first 2 brk. drums, when he was like 12, he never hit em from the back again. Only around the shoe diameter, and the axle flange area after that! For the next 50+ years! Get shme shoes on that thing,,,Love,D

    I have always loved Amc .It started with several Ramblers back in the day. That led to a really nice 76' Hornet, Levi Edition. In the mid 80s I drove that Hornet To Florida From NC 4 times. Twice with a UHaul trailer behind it!

    Take the outer bearing out,then reinstall the nut and pull the drum off...inner bearing will pop out easy with the seal causing no damage to seal.
