[DML] Re: Ignition issue- RESOLVED (long)

Mr. Hervey, 

You misunderstood me. I have no doubt you save owners and shops time. 
Nor do I doubt the value of any vendor's tech help to those who need 
it. I was only pointing out that to state a generic part not bought 
from a vendor makes the part incorrect for a particular application 
is a fallacy. It's a very simple car with very simple systems as far 
as cars go. Not to take anything away from your contribution to the 
community but the modification of alternator cores could hardly be 
considered manufacturing. Correct me if wrong but I seriously doubt 
you manufacture plug wires. You may cut to length and terminate but 
probably little more. In addition most of the vendors "manufacture" 
even less than you when it comes to generic parts. My point remains 
valid: Time may be money but there are many non vendor parts that 
will function just fine if one understands the technology.

A few more observations. I fail to see how my not signing a post 
infers anything other than what was stated in the content of the 
post. If you were implying that I was implying time is saved by 
utilizing vendor supplied generic parts than yes, that would be true 
unless the vendor has improperly selected the part. A customer is 
trading his time and money in exchange for the expertise of the 
vendor, a result of the customer's own lack of expertise. This is all 
well and good if the vendor knows more than the customer, which is 
not always the case. It also restricts the customer to the vendor's 
idea of the part's performance. It also depends on which the customer 
values more, his time or money. But to say a customer selected part 
will not function correctly is a sweeping and invalid statement. Such 
parts can often be superior to a vendor's generic part in many ways. 

It also proves the old adage that time may be money but knowledge is 
power. It's up to the each individual to decide which has more value.
