Great progress, looks like Advanced came through with a fuel pump. The Thermostat housing looks like it might be a replacement cast iron piece sold by parts stores that is actually made for an Oldsmobile and will fit an AMC but doesn't line up very well with the pad, bolt holes, or ports in the intake. They work, but an actual cast aluminum AMC thermostat housing would fit, line up, and seal better, for what it's worth, not a big deal, just mentioning it.

Wow, I didn't know that. When I took it off the PO had broken the left ear off the INTAKE where the bolt goes into the intake. I sealed it up and put a 195* stat in and it's tight. I hope it doesn't leak, it shouldn't cause it's on the passenger side of the ear. Some people. I wonder what else is rigged in this motor

Can I do this for off-road and cut vent lines in the top of the hose?
