That is exactly why I have a number of tech pieces (though not much on 
Corvairs yet) on my web site. No hassle with mail or publishing and 
available to anyone who needs it. (http://padgett.ws/cars/pontart.htm ). 
Next will probably be something on installing a restored Corsa dash in a PG 
Monza.*

Even GM is now allowing (with some controls) posting of entire service 
manuals (some 2" thick). Is both an economical means to disseminate and 
environmentally friendly since no paper is used and no fuel is needed to 
deliver. Already many chapter newsletters are available on line and sagging 
bookshelves need sag no more.

*Yes, it looks like I have found a car that will soon reside in Orlando. 
Thanks to the Amtrak Autotrain, will only have to drive about 80 miles to 
bring it home (which is good considering the skyrocketing price of premium 
fuel). Will then be able to be a bit less theoretical. Trip report to come.
