I had 9 postings from him on the first one and this time I received 11
postings. I think he needs to check his end and see why it keeps resending.

        To answer a few questions; Its a 2x and an automatic. I will look
tomorrow for the rear end gearing. How do I determine which tranny it
is?
        How is the V-6, does it stand up well? I have only opened the hood
once, it was not a clean place, I plan to fix that, what should I look for?
Any common leaks to look for?
        Someone wrote about Hughes Engines, they have some v-6 parts, what
other places have V-6 parts.
        At Edmonds Automotive i couldn't find enough details in the spec's
to satisfy me. Where else is a good place for Info? I am still looking at
list's home page.

        Thanks for the answers so far,

        Andrew
