hi all

A few weeks back I added a section to my website for various tech articles and papers that i've come across for midyear Vettes - many of the from JohnZ and Lars plus others from various sources. I recently just added more to the site.
I'm hosting this information just so it's easily accessible for others to take advantage of it - afterall, it's all about sharing information so that we can all benefit.
Please feel free to take a look. If you click on the name of the article it will open up for you and if you right-click on it you can download the article to your own computer. Most of the articles are in .PDF format.

also, if anyone has any articles or tech info that they feel would be useful to share with everyone feel free to send them to me and i'll be glad to post them on the site along with the others so we can all benefit from it.

JohnZ and Lars generously allowed me to host their articles that I had but I don't know some of the other people that wrote various articles. If I have an article of of yours posted and you don't want to have it up please contact me and I'll pull it immediately.

The link to my tech page is

The valve adjustement article is obolete. I have a new version in work with different numbers based on my evaluation of actual lobe drawings/data from GM.

The winter storage info is a copy of a post I made on this forum except the last paragraph on the first page beginning with: "Stuff...

I recommend you remove the information on USAA since this was a specific response to a USAA member and their insurance is not available to the general public - just rewrite it and substitute generic comments regarding storage insurance.

Duke are you working on a new method for the cold lash settings for the "30-30" cam? Are you referencing the article you and JohnZ compiled some time ago using the .026" setting?

Thanks

Mark
