Sure you would. But you wouldn't refer to an "AMC starter" (it's a Delco)
or an "AMC alternator" (it's a Motorola) or an "AMC carburetor" (it's a
Carter or a Holley) or an "AMC transmission" (it's a Hydramatic or a
Torqueflite).

You *would*, however, refer to an "AMC engine".

I'm sure you can understand the difference. The question is whether you'll
choose to admit it.
