No problem. It would be tough to get an objective sample with such different usage.'85 J20 Old Man Truck, bought @ 65K miles - not great, but better than walking.

Did you know? Willys is just Willis spelled differently, but pronounced the same. Neither Willy nor his apostrophe are involved.

Looking good. Is that the real-deal AMC paint you were gauging support for in another thread?'85 J20 Old Man Truck, bought @ 65K miles - not great, but better than walking.

I traded emails with Amark, the vendor who was supplying the Late '73-'83 AMC Engine color and he is re-stocking. So, I refer people to go to him now.

Thanks. I have had good results with a lot of Dupli-Color products in the past. That is probably close enough for a beater pickup. Either way, it will be interesting to compare it to the correct color once you get it applied.'85 J20 Old Man Truck, bought @ 65K miles - not great, but better than walking.

I have a mechanic friend that has been telling me I would be much happier with my engine if I got the compression up. When I showed him your your write up he was really braggin on it. I plan to do the piston swap on my 360 like yours. Thanks for taking the time to do a write up and making it simple so people like me understand what's going on.81' Jeep J10 currently restoring piece by piece
