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. Thanks Bill 84FC35SB Terrace, B.C. mbulriss <mbulriss@...> wrote: --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Wilhelmus Schreurs > Mike Bulriss: > How come one cannot delete messages when adding another?? 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?

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 see you have learned how to make friends and influence people.

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. Bob Janes, Greenville, SC "Todd: One thing which I have noticed on here, is that sometimes the subject does not get changed, and different things are being written about. Mike Hohnstein started a thread about his Unique Bird, and many things were discussed, one of them was the rear end gear ratios, adding O/D etc." |

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. Pete Masterson aeonix1@...
