:::If you want to, do it the way you think is "best", it can get changed and worked over- kinda like I did to the sub sub Q-jet category I did. Then UN did.lol It's all good. Might try putting "advanced" repair/mods together (bushings, the small piece that fixes a broken accelerator pump arm boss, changing the secondary opening ratio, using an electronic Q-jet for racing (it actually works pretty good), putting slots in the air valve, changing the position of the secondary enrichment orifices, etc, etc). Still couldn't say 100% that would make a separate page, but it'd come damn close IMO. I'll think on this some more and you do the same and between the two of us we'll come up w/something, I'm sure. It's all about '''''synergy''''', right?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 07:43, 5 April 2012 (MDT) | :::If you want to, do it the way you think is "best", it can get changed and worked over- kinda like I did to the sub sub Q-jet category I did.

You may notice I removed the block quote and credits from a couple passages of mine from the Hotrodders forum that were used here. I did this when I made additions/changes to the original text because it's obviously now different than the ''original'' text. It's still original- all from me- but in this case I don't need to be credited directly for the text. I think if it were credited like that, contributors will be too hesitant to edit. That OK?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 07:43, 5 April 2012 (MDT) | You may notice I removed the block quote and credits from a couple passages of mine from the Hotrodders forum that were used here.

:I'm wondering if the entries that came from Hotrodders forum threads need to be individually credited. Maybe a short acknowledgement at the end of that particular section, or a blanket statement that acknowledges ALL the contributors at the beginning or end (or somewhere in between) of the page would be enough? My reasoning on this, is that the direct quote/credit format might deter other contributors from correcting/editing the entries. And if any credited entries were edited and the credits NOT removed, the ''original'' contributor would then be credited w/material not of his making. This could be a problem if the edit was incorrect or the original contributor disagreed w/it. Obviously this is ''just an opinion''. I have absolutely no problem w/how you do it, and the article can be any way you think best. As long as the info is correct there shouldn't be a problem, anyway.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 15:28, 5 April 2012 (MDT) | :I'm wondering if the entries that came from Hotrodders forum threads need to be individually credited.
