    It was a nice day today finally so my wife and I went for a Sunday drive. We stopped at a few antique stores and I found this in a pile of old magazines. Popular Mechanics August 1969.

    If you happen to run across an article on a "Dwell Extender" (homemade electronic ignition) in any of those old mags I would be very interested in a copy!

    Well Im trying to upload the pages. Im having trouble with the pics. I guess dialup isn't helping. I bought this scanner 4 or five years ago and this is the first Ive used it to upload pics to a web site. I guess there is hope for us old guys LOL

    That's cool and i love the pictures. Your scanner works just fine, and look at all four cars and yes i'm bias but the little (actually pretty big) Maverick as far as i'm concerned is much much better looking with nicer lines then the other three cars and i like VW Bugs but to me the Maverick is better.:D:character0182:

    The Maverick was a '69.5. It's a wonder it did as well as it did, with the undersized brakes and all.
