Questions.....Newbie

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Yup, you bet. At one time I thought I could delete part of the message if I
wanted to, but I can't do that anymore, so I will look at my preferences.

Bill,

Not sure I fully understand the question, but here goes.

If you "reply" to a message while reading them directly from the group
forum, Yahoo automatically includes all the text of the message you
are replying to. While this allows readers to follow the thread, it
adds to the message length. If you want to shorten it, you have to
manually delete or snip some or all of the old text.

If you receive individual emails and reply to one of them, whether or
not the original message gets included is a function of the options
that you have turned on in your email reader (probably in the email
reader "Preferences"). If you notice, Ernie has the option to include
the original text turned off, so you never see the original message on
Ernie's replies. While it makes his email messages shorter, it
sometimes makes it hard to understand what he was responding to.

If you receive the messages in "Digest" format, one should NEVER
"reply" to a digest if you choose the email preference to include
original text, or you will post the entire digest again as part of
your message reply. That makes the next digest huge and usually
upsets people that get email on a dial up connection or through their
cell connection while traveling.

Well did I come close to answering your question?

Mike:
In the 78's did the cooling system run throughtout the coach as well, with a
summer/winter switch setup, if so, then you have to make sure you are in the
winter position so all of the coolant throughtout the coach is drained.

Sorry about that. Your bird was produced when the speed limit was 55 and
diesel fuel was cheap. I would change the rear gear to a 4.6 and make sure the
valves are adjusted. There has been information posted about the value of
enhancing the inlet air volume to the engine. It is unadvisable to try to wring
more power or engine speed out of the 210 NA, it's will wind too tight as it is.
It is best to keep the speed parameters between 1900 and 2800 rpm, as you won't
be happy if you drop a valve. With that thought in mind, new valve springs might
not be a bad idea. Upgrading to a 250 or 300 Cat would be major league in cost
and effort.
Flushing the cooling system is not any different than any other vehicle, just
more capacity. When refilling it's best to have the nose of the vehicle up hill
so the air will find the radiator opening easier. You do want to get all the air
out and keep an eye on the PH of the coolant. Napa has some expensive stuff
(coolant treatment) to dump in the radiator you should buy. Usually the belts
are the thing that screws you, so keep a close eye on them and don't let them
get out of adjustment. Use belt dressing regularly. I share your amazement at
the amount of interest in furniture issues.

I guess I asked the wrong questions to the wrong group.
No responses or suggestions for best rear end ratio or the
best/proper way to flush the full coolant system.
I realize it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, I was
just looking for helpful suggestions.
I did look in archives and found a few threads that where helpfull.
Just a little disappointed that a dinette table leg got 10x more
responses.
I'm guessing I've brought up questions that have been brought too
many times before, so I will look further into the archives of all
the groups I have joined.

Todd,

There is a speed chart at http://vintagebirds.com/
look at MPH vs RPM.
A forum member put a lot of work into creating this chart.

In FORUM speak this is called thread hijacking. This makes
searching the archives real difficult. Why people don't start
a new thread?, I dunno, it's easy enough to do.

Todd,

I previously owned a 1978 NA. I had the rear gears changed to 4:88
from 5:29. I don't remember why I didn't go to 4:63, but I was very
happy with the change, money well spent IMHO. Gardner owns that coach
now, maybe he'll pipe in.

Part of the problem is that Yahoo's new email system sends HTML
email. Go to the "my groups" page in Yahoo, select the group so you
go to that group's page, then select "edit membership" (at the top
left part of the screen), then select "traditional" in part 3--
message preferences at the bottom of the page. Then hit the "save
changes" button.

When set to "traditional" you can then easily select and delete the
portions of a message at your convenience.
