Brooklyn Beer Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Warms gets a rough idle. Anyone care to start trouble shooting? What distributor and ignition were these using in 63? Very clean car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Now that is super cool. I love wagons and AMC products so this is right up my alley. Thankfully I am far away. The original seats do look good under those seat covers. But if that is true, why doesn’t the seller pull them off? Not enough info to troubleshoot. I’d look at choke release, coil/spark, and maybe timing. Could be as simple as an idle mixture adjustment or maybe carb needs rebuild. If compression is good it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yes, look at the choke first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I agree that choke is the first place to look. Also, I've had vacuum related rough idles that revealed themselves after the car warmed up, though many times it can be the opposite of that. I really like the looks of the car. Paint looks good at first glance, but there might be over spray in front wheelhouses. OTOH, it looks like they did a decent job in the door jamb areas. This could be a cool and practical car for a small business. Like maybe a bed and breakfast or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
