Question
I own a 1977 amc gremlin with the 258 c.i. I6 engine, with a two barrel carb and electronic ignition. I replaced the carb with a motorcraft two barrel and the distributor with the HEI unit. I will need the diagram for the emisions system, the car originated from Washington state and don't know more. Thanks for all your help.

Answer
If you can locate a 1977 AMC repair manual, buy it. It will have the hose routing.
Or check your local library or E Bay for a Haynes Owners workshop Manual for a 1970-1983 AMC.
Another option is to look for a decal located under the hood showing the vacuum hose routing.
