I found a 89 Comanche in Alabama and now I am the new owner. I am happy with it and had a nice ride home to Mississippi with no issues. Got alot of "things to do" on my list. The "Ram" hood ornament is on the list. It is running ok but I know there is alot of room for improvement. The seller told me that he just put in new injectors and they were the cheapest he could find on line. It just seems to bog out about 65 mph, idle is not that great and is rather poop less. I have read here on the forum where 4 hole injectors are the thing to do. I have located some on the internet. Any recommendations as to which are the best? He has done some engine work. It was full of sludge when he got the truck. He cleaned out the engine, put in a new oil pump, time chain, water pump, radiator and new injectors. First, I need to install gauges, not to much into idiot lights. Some white graphics would be a nice upgrade too. Having Comanche Fun, Ollie

Got Ya BeatCJ......... when asking a question like this......be prepared. I am learning. I got a AMC 727 sitting in my shop. Good to know it will work. They are bullet proof. AMC used the Borg Warner in cars many a year and they were a reasonable trans. Keep the comments coming.....you won't be quoted in a court of law....... Thanks for moving the thread to the proper place Ollie

I am new to the Jeep Comanche's and I know that AMC never built a transmission. I have located a couple of 1988-1989 Comanche's that I am interested in. What are the better transmissions? Automatic's (who built them?, do AMC 904/727's bolt up? to the 4.0)) Manual 5 speeds (who built them? Was there a heavy duty? If so, can I figure it by vin#?) Which would you prefer? Ollie

Nice .....got AC ? I am trying to post pics of my latest build. A 1969 Rambler.....Road Warrior I hope it worked. Ollie Road_Warrior.wmv

Hi Everybody, I am a new member here. Not new to AMC. I own a 1966 American convertible, with a 1974 232 with a 727 transmission. This drive train was from a 1974 DJ-5 Jeep. I also have a 1969 Rambler, powered by a 1983 258 with a 904 trans w/lock up torque converter. The drive train in my Jeep is a 1968 199 with a Borg Warner 3 speed auto. I am a 70 year old car guy and really don't expect to grow up...... My next vehicle is going to be a Comanche. I am looking for a AMC but the early Chrysler's are ok as long as it has a 4.0. I am looking more to a finished vehicle, I have done my last restoration. Ollie
