	That will be about 5-10 (sometimes 15) e-mails per day from me
on the subject of 914s.  With my own particular take on some things--
FI vs. carbs, etc.
	Are y'all willing to put up with that?    ;^)

	914, 914, 914.  All four-cylinder stuff.  Getting ready to do the
"painful acquisition" of experience on the six-cylinder stuff.
	D-jet FI, a little bit of L-jet.  No carbs--I consider them to be
"black magic".
	No bodywork or paint.
	Mediocre on electrical--I usually let Jim Thorusen dig around in
the electrical diagrams when I get stuck.
	I have photocopies of an older copy of the 914 worshop manual,
the Haynes book, Clymer/Lash, a few Bosch FI books.  All the Up-Fixin'
books except possibly the latest volume.
	Absolutely no clue on air conditioning, unless you count the one-
by-sixty type.  (One roof off, by Sixty miles per hour...)  Well, I know
some general principles, and I've read through the article on the Pelican
site...
