| − | When I originally began compiling links to be added to this article, it seems I may have done with the intention of making this article the one definitive supplement guide. Now that we are actually creating specific inter-related wikis in every category, perhaps some of the links in the ''"Threads"'' and ''"Online Resources"'' sections of this wiki can be moved to better-suited wikis. This would help reduce the length of this wiki and limit the information to rebuild and tuning only. Thoughts? --[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 15:23, 21 February 2012 (MST)

| − | :I could see the links under 'Online Sources for Identification and Decoding' on this page being used in the 'Rochester Quadrajet carburetors: Identification and decoding' page, then adding a link to the 'Online Sources for Identification and decoding' page on '''this''' page- if that's what you mean. Or are you referring to the subcategories, or ? when you say "inter-related wikis in every category"? Your meaning is probably obvious but I'm still getting up to speed...--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 15:59, 21 February 2012 (MST)

| − | ::You've got the right idea. Since the Quadrajet category will now have a few articles, the links can be moved to them if applicable. The identification links definitely need to move to the appropriate page. I will also check and see if some are better off posted on the new master article. Thanks. --[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 13:04, 22 February 2012 (MST)

| − | ==Service manual link==
| |
| − | I added the service manual link under 'Reference', you can format and/or relocate it as needed.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 14:53, 9 March 2012 (MST)
| |
| − | :Thank you for finding and posting that. I will format it. --[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 09:39, 10 March 2012 (MST)

| − | ==Additional photos==
| |
| − | I found and added some Q-jet related photos at the bottom of the page. I haven't yet taken the time to edit them into the article, but you may work them in any way you see fit. The format is thumb, 300px, left, w/caption- obviously this can be changed to whatever format that's needed.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 23:08, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
| |
| − | :Thanks for the images. I will start working on including them in the article itself. --[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 18:16, 15 March 2012 (MDT)

| − | ==Breaking up the article==
| |
| − | Wiki warned today that the article is at 31 kb, and that browsers may have trouble with anything larger than 32 kb. It suggested breaking it up into smaller sections. I don't think that is a bad idea. For starters, I think the home-made carb spacers should perhaps have their own page which include a procedures section. That page can then be linked to all other carburetor rebuild pages. Thoughts? --[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 19:39, 15 March 2012 (MDT)
| |
| − | :I added the spacers to a page named Carb spacers (made from a previous page, Choosing a carb spacer). The Carb spacers page is linked to Engine, Carburetors and Undeveloped articles (until it's fleshed out) categories. Sound OK? Thanks,--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 00:23, 16 March 2012 (MDT)
| |
| − | ::Thank you. That sounds like a good plan. I will go ahead and a link to it. I was also wondering if we should have a "modifications" section, either in this article or a separate one, that covers how to do things like 90* fuel inlet or adding a spacer and a whatnot for better performance. Thoughts?--[[User:LT1Silverhawk|LT1Silverhawk]] 08:47, 16 March 2012 (MDT)

| − | :::That's up to you- but doing an article containing ''only'' original material is going to be fairly brief if it's based on what '''I''' know about hotrodding the Q-jet. There are some mods I can give you that I don't see in print, but they alone wouldn't constitute an entire article. Definitely three or four sections in an article, though.

| − | :::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)

| − | ==My most recent additions==
| |
| − | 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)
