well my j20 wouldent start so we checks everything out and it was all good, but the distributor gear was stripped BAD...
so i asked all over the place and everyone said that it has to be the cam gear so me and my father opened up the ol' AMC nightmare POS...
so we got the cam gear and whatta you know its stripped...and chipped
so my next step is to put the new distributor gear on,and the new cam gear and see if that fixes the problem... if it does start and runs correctly but strips the gear agian! then i will take the whole motor apart and put in the new cam shaft new lifters and redo bolth the cam and distributor gear. also to update the engine and help its probability of starting and running i put in a new badass orbital battery all new sparkplugs and had my distributor rebuilt, iam also installing all new seals and gaskets on the water pump in the oil pump the timimg chian cover and whatnot. but the real point to this thread is to ask you if you have ever had this problem with the gears and i want to know your opinions.
