One of AMC's engineers, David Potter, had worked on developing V8 engines for Kaiser-Frazer. [5] American Motor's first V8 engine debuted having 250 cu in (4.1 L) in 1956 with a 327 cu in (5.4 L) version in 1957. [6] The larger displacement engine included a pioneering electronic fuel-injected (EFI) system named "Electrojector" version in 1957.
The Nash Rambler engine is a family of straight-six engines that were produced by Nash Motors and then American Motors Corporation (AMC), and used in Nash, Rambler, and AMC passenger cars from 1940 through 1965. It was succeeded by the AMC straight-6 engine in 1964, a completely new design. The engine evolved in several displacements and was ...
Starting with the 1986 model year, the AMC straight-4 engines used a throttle body injection (TBI) or single-point, fuel injection system with a new fully computerized engine control. [3] In addition to cycling the fuel injector (pulse-width time, on–off), the engine control computer also determined the ignition timing, idle speed, exhaust ...
On May 1, 1979, American Motors marked the 25th anniversary of the Nash-Hudson merger with "Silver Anniversary" editions of the AMC Concord and Jeep CJ in two-tone silver (Jeeps then accounted for around 50 percent of the company's sales and most of their profits), and introduced the LeCar, a U.S. version of the small, fuel-efficient Renault 5 ...
This engine was said to deliver 33% more power than the 1955 version, and - at up to 30 miles per US gallon (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg ‑imp) - provided better fuel economy than the competition. [7] [6] The new Rambler also changed to a 12-volt electrical system. [6] The automatic transmission was the GM-produced Hydramatic (called Flashaway by AMC).
The Renix system was used in the F series engines as fitted to the Renault 19 16V, Renault 21, Renault 25, and the Renault Espace. It is a multi-point fuel injection system, as opposed to a single-point system, with several air, throttle, and pinking sensors and an advanced computer.

The tire pressure sticker on the initial production of 1970 models hinted at the availability of the 360 V8 engine.
The Motorcraft 2150 is a Ford (also used by AMC) 2-barrel carburetor manufactured from 1973 through 1983, [1] based heavily on its predecessor, the Autolite 2100 carburetor. The 2150 improved on the 2100s design through the introduction of a variable air bleed system, which keeps the air to fuel mixture better balanced throughout the carburetor ...
