Jerry,
I think you're likely making it harder than needed. In photobucket open the folder/library where the pictures are that you want to post. There will be a bunch of them in small boxes, maybe 1.5" square, and each of those frames has an eight sided star in the upper right corner when your cursor is on that picture. Move your mouse over that "star" and a menu list drops down. Move your mouse within that box to "Get Links", and then from the links put the cursor on "Image Code" and click the mouse. You'll see "Copied" appear. That image is now on your clipboard.

In CHR, go to your new message, and in the text box simply right click, hit "Paste" and the image file is pasted into your message. You don't have to do anything else, other than add any descriptive text that you want, either above or below the image code that you see. For sure DO NOT click the "Insert Image" Icon, or you'll get extra crap that's not needed, and that will not work. Try that and see how it works.

this is a view of the back ends of both types of manifolds and a oil pump drive gear for an LT1 and a distributor

compare the distributor and the LT oil pump drive gear

Thanks Roger---I might get the hang of this bucket deal yet

To answer about just using a 92 block(pre LT1)---the LT engines have reverse cooling in where the coolant is pumped thru the heads first and then returns thru the block--they were able to run higher compression ratios and on about any gas you put in the tank all the time with good economy and broad torque/horsepower---
I never had any problems with the opti spark, I just want to move it so I can mount the alternator and A/C down low on the front of engine but the spark terminals of the opti are in the way----------------

You bet! And you can put up to 35 images in one post, spacing them as you wish with text in between the image files to tell the story. They work pretty neat!
