Quote: Is that what's happening? I don't know how to use any search engine? You seem to have some sense, so I'll answer you straight.
me likes straight answers.
Quote: If it's a fight, it's not me fighting. I'm merely answering you. How you take it is up to you. 
Quote: Tell me I'm wrong when I say the slantsix.org search engine phrase feature doesn't work. Show me and a bunch of other people how to make it find phrases. That is, several words together treated as one word. It's a very common feature on the best search engines - not necessarily the majority of them. 
Quote: Outside slantsix.org? I've used computers for near on 30 years and search engines for a lot of that time and know that using search engines is more intuition, experience and memory in a given field than the machanics of the search engine. Not only is almost every search engine slightly different, but the owners philosophy on how it should work is anybody's guess. And that's the most significant factor of all. (Now I'm writing the tutorial.) That's a simple fact, not hundreds of complaints.
Quote: Did YOU find a 10" front drum listed for a 1972 Dodge Challenger? I very, very seriously doubt it, and I'll tell you why. I've been looking for a 10" front drum for a '72 Challenger. The first thing you usually come to is the year, then the make then the model, then the part. NONE of those parts places list such a thing under that system with that setup.  Is just my mere idea about what's happening here, what's causing you headaches inside and outside /6.org
Quote: The intuition and experience arrived when I stumbled across something indicating the '72 never had such a drum, but the '70 did. Now I find 10" front drums all over the place - NONE of them listed for 1972 Challenger info I was given on a piece of paper. The moral? You have to know a lot to find out a lot. The problem is that every time you change subjects you have to start all over again in the "know a lot" department.
Yeah, that's when one tends to get stumped or lazy... or if you capitalize the experience, you'll end up as a find-parts-extraordinaire.
Quote: That, too, is a simple fact. People who grew up eating parts numbers for breakfast have a huge advantage over someone who didn't. Having accumulated a pile of parts books over years of time doesn't hurt either.
Quote: What did they put in your coffee this morning?
Quote: I didn't realize how badly Dan needed you to come to his rescue.  Quote:
Dan's a pain in the ass sometimes, but you gotta give the guy's a chrysler corp expert and to top that, he knows the stuff from even a wider timeline period than you might think off. I've fought with dan, we have chatted, and he's not a bad guy. He's impulsive, I'll give you that, but he ain't a mean mistreater fellow. Everyone here have his quarks.  and one has to try to work around them
Quote: Dan would appear to be a damn genius with a photographic memory, and, as such, shows no patience at all with people who are not like that. His often sneering attitude and put-down posts would seem to me to diminish, not increase, the value of his considerable contribution. 
B) he has no patience? mmm... he may snap a lot at people who try his nerve, but he's not unpatient per se.
C) while I agree (and have discussed it with him) that his "snapping" doesn't go well for a guy who weems so bright, this kinda phrases like the line you wrote on the holley webber carb, something like "xxx gets mad when you try to cross information from outside...." (don't recall the whole line but shure you'll get it) is calling for troubles. Or not?
And to close this, I don't see why everything here has to be about dan. You keep getting into cutting contests with him. You ain't like him? don't pay attention to his posts! that's how I deal with people I don't care for.
Well, in the spirit of keeping the board good and clean, I hope that you too realize that I'm not trying to start a pissing contest here.
