Carb tag

My carb has a tag on it. My dad says that this is a tag that tells what parts to use on the carb when rebuilding it.

New home for a little longer

My Rambler is being stored at my grandparents farm in Iowa. My time working on the car is limited to trips home. Today we moved my car in to an old hog lot. Beleive it or not it drove about a half mile and then we drove it on to the concrete. Check out the huge hole we found under the car when we moved it. Don't know what lived under the car but the hole was about 6" across. My dad and I put everything we could in to the trunk. Hopefuly the concrete will help keep animals out of the car.

Any ideas on how to fix these?

This is the date code on the side of the engine. Most of the people I have talked to say it means I have a cast iron 195.5 inline 6 built on march 1st 1963. This would mean my car rolled off the assembley line running on that date. The only problem is according to the date code charts "9" means it was made in 1967. Alot of people have said this was just a typo on the factory's part but I'm not sure. No one seems to know what the "s" stands for either. If anyone out there has an idea please let me know.

In the comming days, months, years and decades I will be updating my pogress on the Rambler here.

With help from my friends in the AMC World, especialsy the amc-list, we can all enjoy the restoration together.
