I don't know what the cost is to run a website, so it might be pie-in-the-sky for me to suggest a section for scans of original literature, be it parts or sales.

Tod: You have a super website for reference purposes. I guess what I was striving for is that to obtain all of the various supplier catalogs (some of which are obsolete) is impossible for each member. A website that collates this information would be very helpful for Plymouth enthusiasts. For example, sparkplugs. Champion, AC, Autolite all make sparkplugs for the flathead six but the wrong plug can cause serious damage. The same would apply for voltage regulators and basically any other aftermarket item. Some Ebay sellers state what years an item fits but neglect to say that some items change with production numbers. Perhaps a request that members send in what item, other than Mopar (with a Mopar cross reference) has worked for them, either for this website or maybe yours would work? As I stated before, that page on Timken Bearings from the No. 93 Plymouth Bulleting has helped me obtain bearings at a significant cost reduction. Just trying to make life a little easier for the restorers of these wonderful cars.

Is this viable? Thanks

I've been trying to do that on my web site, but rather than posting the scans I am entering what I find into a database: http://www.ply33.com/Parts/numeric

When restoring a car, it is a big help to know interchangeable part numbers especially when surfing Ebay. In Issue 93, July-August 1975 of the Plymouth Bulletin there is a page for "Timken Tapered Roller Bearing Appliations car/truck" that covers Plymouth cars and trucks  from 1929 - 1952 and is a very valuable reference when it comes to bearings. A reprint of this in a current Plymouth Bulletin would be a suggestion. There are cross reference parts from Mopar to Western Auto, Shurhit, Champion, Victor, etc that if a  person only knew what fits, he may make some good buys.
Would a section like this for this website be feasible or is it just too cumbersome?
