Re: V-8 head part nbr vs cast nbr

The use of volume and issue numbering for this newsletter dates all the way back to 1927, when it was launched as the Packard Service Letter. While the name changed in the mid-40s to the Packard Service Counselor, volume numbering remained contiguous through 1956.

Not only was did the publishers eliminate dates and volume/issue numbers in this new edition of the reprint, but they renumbered the pages and reindexed the whole thing. That makes for a real PIA when two people are trying to communicate and one has original issues but the other has the new reprint. Yet, previous (comb-bound) editions of the reprints were as originally published by Packard. Stuff like that really makes you wonder what they were thinking.

No matter - a solution is on the way.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a comprehensive index to all the Service Counselor articles and Service Technical Bulletins, PLUS Studebaker Service Bulletin articles for the V8s, and I am now working with BigKev to take that to a whole new level and extend its functionality to earlier Series.

Please stand by by for the premiere of this new feature (hopefully within a week or so). I think you'll find help for a lot of questions that have been asked recently - not just in this thread.
