Help please.
I am needing advice on navigating these waters.
I had a A/C question the other day and didn't know which sub-forum to place it in. I chose not to put it in the Ninety-Eight sub-forum cause I knew that the system I have was also used in the Eighty-Eight and for all I knew in other Olds models as well. I was afraid that someone with answers but say a Cutlass guy, would never see my question if I hid it under Ninety-Eight.
I ran a search to see where other A/C questions happen to lay. But I was amazed to only find one post or thread concerning A/Cs. Seems the search engine wont look up short words/phrases like A/C, or V-8 or V-6 or 3800 or 3.8.
Says the terms are too common. Well that's a problem on a auto forum. Could one of the Admins please look into that?
Needless to say my next search was for those last 3 Engine designations, and again no results.
I don't know if all the V-6s would belong under "small block" or not. Would it be reasonable to ask for a 6 cyl. sub-forum of its own?
I guess way back Olds had a straight-six of some type didn't they??
Maybe an options/accessories or peripherals sub-forum too? Of course that begs the question of "what is a peripheral??" .
I guess I figure a Water pump or oil pump to be part of the engine, where a smog pump, A/C, Alternator, Power Steering Pump are hangerd and therefore peripherals. But I'd include Alternator questions under Electrical sub-forum I suppose, so there lies the rub.
Not complaining I hope you all know but just wondering if I am overlooking something here.
thanks
