I am an 850 spider owner and just had to have a 124.
this 1981 spider has been stored for a few years after the previous owner gave up on converting it to F.I.
Looks like I have about half of what is required to get it done.
Hope fully with some help from this group I will get it finished properly.
thanks

Welcome aboard! You will find plenty of knowledgeable and friendly people here.
Here is a thread on how to post pictures directly to the forum:

This short instruction covers how to resize pictures so that they don’t get cut off at the right side:
Pictures can be easily and quickly resized using Windows.
You do not need to open the image file, therefore no image viewing software is needed.
1. First find where the image is stored on your computer.
2. Click on the image file to high light it.
3. Right click, then select "EDIT"
4. Click "RESIZE" in the upper left corner of the screen
5. Click on "PIXELS"
6. Make sure that "MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO" is checked.
7. Retype "725" in "Horizontal" field.
8. Click "OK"
9. Save image, if desired. I put them in parallel folders with “resized” somewhere in the description..
It will now be resized and will show fully and properly on the forum, using standard Windows software.
And here is a link to a map of Spider owner’s locations. Many forum members have listed their locations.

Re: Hello from Nova Scotia CAN.
Likely I am wrong, happens frequently... I bought mine, was told it was an '81... It is actually an 80.
Likely yours is also an '80, since ( I believe) they converted to fuel injection mid 1980.
My door jamb says May 1980... Which would have been sold as an 1980.
And, welcome!

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.
