Hello all, awsome site!  I am the new proud owner of a 1985 amc eagle wagon, 4.2 with only 126000 miles.  Of course it needs a bit of help.  I already ordered a new valve cover as the ol' plastic bleeds oil like crazy.  Also I need to find some parts.  The Carb was replaced with a motorcraft, with a rinkydink air cleaner I would like to replace.  Also I need to figure out the kickdown linkage, but that is for another post-department.   Thank you in advance for advice!  Pics coming soon

there's lots of help here, BUT we must see your car!  You will receive no help until you show us your car.

Oh I will be asking for help!  But I will try to post in appropriate areas...  Also not sure how to post pictures without photobucket... So here is a pic I took this morning.  I think it is real decent looking for its age.  I have been told everything from "awsome car!" to "you paid what for that ugly thing?".  To each their own I say, I like this car..

Nice eagle, love the color. Looks like you have the Roof rack delete??
I Don't know why. But everybody's always talking about their STI or That guys EVO, I think I'll stick with my old, but reliable AmC. Did I ever tell you I was Full blooded Eagle?

Usually there is one...  was one...  Unless it came from the factory without one.

all the wagons I see have roof racks.

They're so common I had assumed they were standard equipment.  Someone will probably let us know soon.

and there's no sign of a roof rack ever being there??   I gotta say, that's a first for me.

I mean I'm sure you could ask for one from the factory without a roof rack, I've just never seen one that didn't come with one.  I would consider anyone buying a station wagon is looking for cargo space, and would want a roof rack.

Interesting...
