Hi Bob, In the SC/Rambler Q & A section of the blog, someone asked
if heater control valves had numbers stamped in them. The part number
in the AMC Parts Catalog 1967 thru 1972 for the valves is in Group
13.035 and is part number 319 0162. The correct NOS heater control
valves and my original heater control valve have "69" stamped
underneath the control lever in addition to "on" and "off". The
control lever covers the numbers up in the off position. They are
only visible when the lever is past the halfway open position. Ranco
made the valves up until about 1998 when they went out of business. I
believe only the valves supplied by Ranco to AMC had the numbers
stamped in them. The last time I saw one for sale was at the last
Kenosha Historical Society Show there was one correct valve in the
original unopened AMC packaging with the punch card of the purchasing
dealer in 1969 wrapped around the box offered for $400.00.

>From the looks of it, they should cross the block in the later hours of coverage on Wednesday night.
Should be a good way to spend a cold winters night in the northeast!

Eric Gardner Sc/Rambler and Exhaust For Sale Details
New from Gardner Exhaust:
Here are our reproduction Scrambler hangers. They have been reproduced from our originals and come zinc plated, built with correct corded tire rubbers, correct bolts, lock washers, and star washers, all of the pieces have been reproduced from the originals. They are available with any of our Scrambler and AMX exhaust systems. I will send you some pictures of the hangers next to original as well.
Thanks again for the posting we are excited to be able to offer these hangers to the Scrambler enthusiasts so they no longer have to make due with tired old originals.
Best Regards,
Eric Gardner
Here is an e-mail from Eric , cost of system ommited for now ..
Bob,
You can blog these now if you like if you can keep the price off at first that would be great. We like talking to our customers so we make sure they are ordering the right stuff and we also offer differrent options. For instance we can ceramic coat the flanges, zinc the hangers but obviously that would add cost. The system as you see it with the brackets welded on but without the hangers would be $???.??.
Here is what you would get.
Front pipes, flanges, extension with donuts, adapter pipes, glasspack mufflers, tail pipes with brakets welded on, we can include clamps for that price but they obviously would not be the q-clamps. If you want q-clamps they would be $??.??/ set extra, we can include the tips, and the hangers but they would be extra also. I am working on getting the strap clamps for the tips as well.
Thanks again for the kind words and all your help on the restoration. We are going to try to start the car again today so I will try to get some pictures to you.
Best Regards,
Eric Gardner
