Help me outrun an AMC Gremlin

My first car-73 javelin 304. It's still a complete mystery how that motor took so much abuse!!
I would do burnout after burnout day after day. The oil light would come on every other day and start knocking to tell me to stop and buy a quart. This went on for years! I finally sold it to a friend and informed him if you don't do a burnout every day I'm not sure if the car will keep running....
