Good questions. I noted on the GM Tuners site it says the transaxle is a performance built 4T60? so something is listed incorrectly, somewhere. It certainly does appear that is a TV cable and adjuster. I know on the L27 intake manifold I used on one of my engines, the small arm to operate that cable was missing from the throttle body but it was a bolt on part that could be added from an LN3 throttle body. I think you are correct Series III engines are drive by wire but usually there is a cable operated throttle body that can be adapted. I know when I have seen articles about other engines on the dyno, they many times have a cable throttle body substituted. That very question appears in other forums from people adapting more modern 3800's to older models. I am a neophyte on the ECM capability but I do know that there are no apparent controls in the PROM for transmission functions. Either the ad is wrong and it is a 4T60 hydraulic transaxle, or perhaps a piggyback controller was used. It isn't mentioned so that doesn't sound correct. Later models used a Powertrain Control Module, PCM, for all functions, rather than the two discrete units we have. Actually thinking about it, what controls the "e" transmission in a '91 Reatta? As far as I know the instrument panel and diagnostic functions are the same as the '90, so assuming the ECM is different or a PCM type is installed ???

It has been hard to get out and have fun driving around this year unless you go alone. My daughter and I drove about 70 miles each way to a cemetery where my father is buried today in my old truck just to have something to do. We kept the windows rolled down just top be safe. It was in the '60s here today and she took a blanket to cover up with if she got cold. We were comfortable but it sure was weird riding around with the windows down this close to Christmas.

Okay the reserve is there, but it is still sitting at $4,7xx with 25 hours to go. While it has a couple of minor issues, I am surprised there has not been more activity on it. It may not be worth the reserve, I believe it is worth more then what has been bid.
