Question
Mr Pilotte,
I just got a '63 Rambler 550 Classic 2D as a gift from my uncle. This car is not running right now and it will be my project. Do you have any suggestions on how can I get a owner's manual for this vehicle? and where Can I get parts for it too? I will really appeciate if you have a photo of the engine  of this vehicle  I can get so I can used it as a reference to start wondering what is missing.
thanks in advance for your help.
sergio.

Answer
The best place to start looking is online AMC vendors and AMC/Rmabler clubs. Google 1962 Rambler and start searching online for manuals, parts, and repair ideas. I don't have a picture of this engine, but you can find a factory repair manual online which will really help.
If you have a spcific question, let me know.
Good luck and have fun.
