OK-I'm trying to find a wiring & vacum diagram so I enter those terms into search & am not shown "Wiring diagram"-right here-chuckle-I don't really expect it to be that easy,
but is there some way so I don't have to go through endless posts where either word is mentioned? Y hope this makes sense. Not having grown up with computers what for me is a major hassle-kids can do in seconds-so if anyone can offer assitance it will be great & Thanks!-Kurt

This is way late, but it needs an answer if someone checks this topic.
Best way that I’ve found to search for something here is to use this ....
https://www.google.c...biw=683&bih=324
To search this site put any search term you want in the window right behind where it says
either ...
site:econolines.ipbhost.com/
or ...
site:econolines.ipbhost.com/index.php?act=idx
Then hit enter.
I’ve got it bookmarked just below the Econoline Message Board bookmark.
I’ve used it for other sites too, works great. Posted Image

EDIT: updated

Better late than never ...
If clicking on the first link takes you to the generic "google" site with nothing in the window (as it does on my computer), just copy and paste the highlighted section (site:econolines.ipbhost.com) into the window and "Add to Your Favourites" and it will come up every time. This info might seem too obvious to some people, but you stated "Not having grown up with computers what for me is a major hassle-kids can do in seconds". This search method often seems to yield better search results than the message board search engine, which can be a bit of an "information overload" at times.

I don’t know what you think you are doing with all these ‘OK’s uselessly cluttering up these threads but I wish you would QUIT IT!

Now I see what Jrpp was doing elsewhere & two posts above with all those useless & irritating ‘Ok’s.
He was getting his post count up over 20 to meet the new rule of having to have over 20 posts before being able to post a for sale or wanted ad.
I don’t think putting any of them in an information thread was a good idea.
I just want to bump this one back to the top, so ...

B-b-bump..... :D

Good point about the minimum post count rule before posting, Tom! ;)

If this is the best way of searching, it should be pinned to the top instead of bumped. I haven't used this method in a while but the few times I used it, in the past, it worked great. Once that's done, the thread could possibly be cleaned up... But you have to keep at least one hairy belly Bump-p-p.
