Looks like you have a really old version there (AMBER9, June 2003?). Maybe you want to look into a newer version?

>From version 1.7, Nov 2013

c1-c1-c3 56.28 178.46 SOURCE4 188 0.6631
c1-c1-ha 44.84 178.38 SOURCE3 41 2.0683


SOURCE3
Optimized geometries at MP2/6-31G* level

SOURCE4
Optimized geometries at B3LYP/6-31G* level

Thanks for the suggestion, however, what is SOURCE3 in gaff.dat referring to? I don't see it defined
anywhere.

Sorry if it is too obvious, but I cannot find it :-(
