It's not necessary for everyone to read this stuff. > Tom's class 5 61 DeSoto wont start when the weather is below 35 degrees and > its raining This stuff I DO care about. To use your example, how many people know about the manifold heat riser? If it is stuck in the wrong position, it may be the cause of Tom's car not starting. Most I have seen are frozen and it's a pain to loosen up. This knowledge could be shared amongst the group. I'm not an ASE certified mechanic. Many of today's garages won't even touch old cars like ours. Most car mags have lotsa articles about F*rds and Ch*vys, but not our cars. If there is an article about mopars, it's about how someone bored out a 440 and put it into a '66 Dart. When Cars and Parts featured a finned mopar, they got their facts wrong so many times that I had to cancel my subscription. Even the club publications publish very few technical articles (exceptions here go the the Desoto Club and the Chrysler 300 Clubs), about 55-61 Chrysler Products. Why anyone would want to drop out of a valuable resource like this one is beyond me. Sorry about the soapbox, but it's just my opinion. Ron 58 Ply - 99.9 % of welding is done |
