If anybody is still reading this......could you explain why the identical above IMG headers show the 225KB pics at Camaros.net and nastyz28.com???
Thanks, Chuck S

Chuck try saving them as a JPEG instead of BMP. The later makes the file a lot larger than the first. Heres your one pic but saved as a JPEG at photobucket.com

Chuck...I have been to see that car at Jacks a couple of times. He has it on his new lift now. If anyone needs specific pictures, I could take them.

I gotta say ...I am enjoying seeing Chuck struggle with posting the pics...

Cruel bastidges....it's a pain but once you get it...you become Alen Funt aka Mr70 !! I agree though....try the jpeg format...

First of all I want to extend "special" holiday greetings to Charley.......The pictures I saved to my Photobucket account were COPIED from the nastyz28 site and PASTED into my Email. I then saved each pic into MY PICTURES (on WinXP)as a BMP as JPEG was not an option......Then at PhotoBucket I uploaded each picture still being a BMP , but I believe P.B. resized them. HOW or WHERE should have I converted them to JPEG. I usually do this with Adobe Printshop, but wanted to avoid that step. I also dont understand why, I couldnt right click the original posted pic and "SAVE AS"
Oh well I tried, which is more than the vast majority of most.......
Regards, Chuck

I don't remember ever seeing that shield under the cap on my distributer. I'm sure it's not there now. Schonye

Chuck,

You asked where this engine came from. It was out of a low mileage 70 Z/28 that was totalled in 1970. It was taken out as shown (no exhaust on it - the ones pictured are to protect the ports only) and sat in dry storage for a long time before my friend Mike aquired it in recent years. The car reportedly had 6000 miles on it when wrecked and the motor condition would coincide with those facts as it is a fine looking specimen.

Later this week I will be taking a few more shots of it with Yenko user RSZMJT (Mike Thorpe)who owns this LT1. We are going to take shots of the head castings with the covers removed (spotless inside)and of the date coded wires, and various front profile shots in better clarity. These will be sent to Greg Roberts of NRG and Marlin where they can then add them to their respective Yenko Deuce posts. (see link above)

Great job Greg, and thanks for the nice words Marlin. I think Mike and I both enjoy things like this because it betters the info and allows those with a pure interest to restore their projects to a correct level.

Cheers!
