AMC Rambler Wagon Forgotten for over 50 YEARS! Amazing Results!

Meet our next big build. This 1962 AMC Rambler wagon was rescued from a forgotten lot in Minnesota and is one of two that will be used to rescue, restore and build one fantastic vintage cruiser!
We've had it running briefly before, but what happens in this video is something we NEVER EXPECTED!

The fuel pump is more than just a fuel pump. It's also a vacuum pump for the wipers. Wipers run on a combination of engine and pump vacuum. They are rebuildable. There are kits.
Also, there a folks that will rebuild the vacuum wiper motor that's probably shot. I have done both to great advantage. Really suggest keeping the existing fuel pump.
On a separate topic, I was so amused to see the spoilers on the back. I have a nearly identical set that came (and is still on) my 68 AMC Ambassador wagon.
We drive our two AMC Ambassadors all over everywhere and enjoy the heck out of them.
Good luck

Thanks for watching and for your input! I'm thinking we will try to stay with the original (style) pump and you are correct about it having a vacuum function. If you have a recommendation on who to use for the pump rebuild please let us know.

I had a 1960 Rambler American two-door wagon. It had a flathead 6 cylinder and a 3-on-the-tree. It was a very smooth running little engine and got 31mpg. Ramblers are great cars. Parts just aren't that plentiful. Great video. That car might be more than just a parts car.
