Under the reply field, it says attach file and has a browse button. Click it, and find your picture - if you saved it to my documents, it'll be in that folder. Find the file, click "Open" and then click "Submit reply." If you get an error like "File too big" then you have to make the size (in pixels, if it says that, or kb) smaller...

Nice. I was proud of my three digit purchase until I read your story about the two fishing poles. I'm enjoying tinkering with my new toy too. I'm attaching a photo as well.

Though I'm sure the tint has helped save the interior, I think they look classier without. Or at least with something other than the cheesy blue tint mine has. That may be an upcoming thing to do.

Hey wait! What are those tie downs on your throttle linkage? Is that to help it come back on its own? Mine has some cheesy bungee chord in the same place. I thought someone was jury rigging the throttle. Maybe they were just using bungee where there was originally something similar?

68greezr · #7 11-07-2003, 07:40 AM

what tiedowns?the trottle linkage has springs on it,of course this is my first time with pics,so it i'm sure better pictures can be shot.
yeah i like your car,i wish the 68 had those fog lights instead of the old bullet turn sigs.

greezr, I am going to offor you a job. You will now do all my car trading in the future, and you get 1/2 the profits. Say TxDave, Looking for you around town. I have mine worked on at Austin ********, Nice people.

68 greezer,

Thos are my turn signals not fog lights. However, from what I learned in another post these cars are hardwired for easy changes since the cars had different configurations in different markets.

Also, I think my bungee must be in place of where the springs were. If you look at the second to last picture on my website you might see I don't have springs but bungee. One holding on to the trans dipstick nonetheless.

tosbt,

You won't see much of me on the road cause it is just my weekend and after work fun car for now. I have some things I'd like to do to it. One thing is the kickdown transmission switch. Man I'd love to have that working.

68greezr · #10 11-07-2003, 10:40 AM

i don't know about the bungee cord,maybe it's for high speed shut down mode.lol your motor looks alot different than mine do you have smog stuff on it?

68greezr · #11 11-07-2003, 01:20 PM

tosbt,hey i'll take that job,however i'm now down only 3 fishing poles.

TxDave · #12 11-07-2003, 01:56 PM

I think our engines looke the same. I have a goofy atomizer in my fuel line. That's about the only difference I see. And someone cleaned your engine.

68greezr · #13 11-07-2003, 02:43 PM

hey txdave i'll get a better pic of my motor today,maybe use a flash or some light.we figure out what that bungee cords does!!i might have to get one....

Tomguy · #14 11-07-2003, 04:17 PM

I don't see that "Atomizer" doing any good... possibly doing harm, in fact.
geezer: I'll hire you too! In fact, I'll buy new poles! That way, we can make a ton of profit! (or at least get some cars... what would you say, 10 poles for a 6.3?

)

68greezr · #15 11-07-2003, 04:36 PM

you guys would die to look in the auto trader out here in new mexico,there's some great deals out here.hey i'll buy one today and you guys get them poles ready.....lol
