Dave, it sounds to me like you belong here. Off-road stuff is more what I am into but I still post here in the off-road section. I'm more into glass buggies but there are rails, quads, RZRs and even a Honda Pilot and three wheeler in the group I ride with.

Hello. Recent lurker, decided I'd have better feedback here than at TheSamba. I have restored a 1968 Karmann Ghia and am tinkering with an AMR500 supercharger, and am in the midst of converting my 1500 to supercharged EFI. I plan on starting a thread, will probably have LOTS of questions... My first being "How do I post pictures in this forum?" Thanks guys!

Its pretty easy. First make sure the pix are not too big. I edit mine down to 640 X 480 but some run a bit bigger.
Page down on a potential entry and you will see a gray/blue box "Attachments" next to the Options box. Click on it and you will get a box "add files" then click on it. It will allow you to then pick a pix you want to post then click "open".
This will put the code for the pix in the box will will allow you to place the photo where you want it to be (you have to open a line for it) or you can delete the file if it is the wrong one. Click "place in line" and the code for the pix will appear in the text. when you have done that for each pix and the dialogue is done the it is the time for "Submit"!.

Hope this helps.
I almost forgot, they have to be jpeg files or you can some how do it off your phone... which I don't know how to do as I don't have a phone.

Thanks for the instructions. To test, I've resized an image off my phone. This is my engine prior to now, its torn up while I wire up and add modifications for EFI.

Thanks! I have the ITB mounted, with injectors. Have the proper O2 sensor (bought the wrong one initially). Finished installing the crank trigger to the pulley and fitted the sensor. Still need to run the wire harness, fabricate a coil pack mounting bracket. Will be installing it in the same position as the Magnaspark one pictured above... Although, I like having tidy wire management, not happy with this location, I may change it up. The ECU is working properly. Had to swap the 5v/0v pins on my TPS for it to function correctly. Accelerator pedal movement is very smooth from 0 to 100%. Need to update the injector information in TS. Also need to finish the fuel line plumbing. Coming along nicely, been a long time coming. Can't wait to get her back on the road.
