That's okay - I have "NO TRUCK"! But I do have some manuals! I gave some to the new owner of my '48 a few years ago, but I did hold back a few too. I also popped the dough for the M-37 CD on e-Bay with EVERY manual on it!! Kind of hard to look-up something's quickly, but it's all there for me.
I think I fall under the "Know-just-enough-to-be-dangerous" catagory!! But I don't offer advice, I may just say, "When I did it..." or "What worked for me..." but you'll NEVER hear this guy say, "DO IT THIS WAY!" When I was into Powerlifting, some guys in the gym would come over and say, "You're doing that wrong." (Usually the guys bulit more like Judd...) I'd say, "Excuse me?" "You do it like this..." and I'd reply that, "NO, I do it 'differently' than you do. Every body is different, and responds differently." Like our trucks, someone's brake drums may fall right-off, while it takes others a torch, chisel and a case of beer to get their's off!! That's why Paul's answers and Mike's are well written and versed with "The manual calls for..." or "Michelin used to..." I've never read one of their responses that said - "DO THIS, and it'll work for you EVERYTIME."
My morning drivel.
