If the question starts out with "Where can I find..." or "Does anyone know where to get...", then it's probably a "sourcing" question. If someone knows the part or component that they need, but doesn't know where to find it (or where to find it at a good price), then their question can be generalized into a "Sourcing..." article. For example, a question like "Hey guys, does anyone know where to get parts for my Fireflite engine" can be turned into an article titled [[Sourcing DeSoto Hemi Fireflite parts]]. | If the question starts out with "Where can I find..." or "Does anyone know where to get...", then it's probably a "sourcing" question.

| + | Questions that request specific technical data (measurements, firing orders, ID codes, weights, casting numbers, etc.) can be turned into generalized "Specifications" articles. For example, a question like "How much does a Chrysler 392 engine weigh" can be turned into an article titled [[Early Hemi engine specifications]]. | ||
