I've done this before in other forums, and it greatly minimizes the need to repeat ourselves on some often questioned, often answered issues. In your opinion, what FAQ topics do we need to streamline our forum?

6 to 8 conversion (I'm starting this one now)
EFI conversion
T-5 conversion (I believe we already have a good thread on this one)
AOD conversion

What am I missing?

Ah, good stuff Bob. Maybe a new/first-time buyer too?

I figure that we'll do one at a time and let them grow for a few days and then add another. We've all seen this wealth of information, it sure would be nice to have it all in one place.

Does having a supplier list make sense? (Where can I purchase interior parts? Where can I find body panels?)

An "FAQOTW" (FAQ Of The Week) might be a really good thing to get started. Sticky a post at the top every Monday, then take replies thru the week. At the end, move it to a Classic FAQ subsection...

"First time buyers guide" is excellent also!

Where's everybody else? You guys snoozing??? :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

Where is my muffler bearing? Where can I get the PREMIUM muffler bearings? What grease do I use on my muffler bearings? What is the proper lubrication procedure for muffler bearings? My muffler bearings keep getting a sooty buildup, how do I clean them? What is the proper way to dispose of muffler bearings? What concours markings should be on my muffler bearings? If one muffler bearing is good, are two muffler bearings better?

That's a great idea right there. I'll keep the 6 to 8 FAQ up until next week, then I'll put up another.

This is going to be cool.

Heheh, you guys are cracking me up with the goofy suggestions. If only I could get my flangent tuned right. :scratch:

Synthetic or asbestos-based grease for those? :scratch:

I wonder if I can get nickel-plated ones?

Does UPS deliver those? (for CV)

How about how to identify one model from another. It seems alot of new folks can't tell a 65' from a 68 much less the smaller details of sibling years.
