  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Just out of curiousity, why would you want to do that?

    Dont be so quick to remove the points. There's nothing wrong with them. They have served the auto industry for years and years. Learn how they work and master the theory first.

    Get a 1969 Buick service manual and start reading. Once you finish reading, start again at the beginning and re read it!

    You can always do upgrades. Just keep the parts and pieces to turn back to stock. I don't think that mod will be a key vehicle value point.
