According to the parts book, its J4004165.  The AMC standard parts manual says those are 3/8 x 16 thread; 0.810 long (not including the head), steel, and are Grade 8 with phosphate coating.

Transmission Shop / Clutch Pressure Plate Bolts

 :eagle: What specs do I need for the pressure plate bolts for the 4.2 inline-6? I'm currently swapping the auto trans for a manual t4 and I've got everything but these. Google keeps giving me different answers, but I trust you all know what they are.

Quote from: CaliEagle97 on October 30, 2025, 04:36:05 PMThat is the exact compression tool I bought years ago from the same guy, and it works perfectly. Fits the shock perch as intended, I highly recommend it
It's the same tool I'm using. compared to my lifter extraction tool, it's been worth the purchase.

QuoteI'm trying to convince MIPS to sell me his :P
Our schedules so we can touch bases don't ever seem to line up. :U

Since I work on non-AMC crap; I have an ancient Branick SCT-520 that I use and abuse.  I had to shorten the screw some, because it interfered with the spring perch as I compressed the spring; but it works great, and I get the spring out without having to unbolt it from something.  I see one complete one on Ebay for $40 plus postage.

According to Rockauto the same front shocks were used for the 1970 Gremlin, Javelin and Hornet all the way to the Eagle in 1988

That looks like the one my buddy bought.

Does anyone know if the eagle shocks screw spacing is the same or different than other models?

Maybe we just got one with an incorrect spacing?
