FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Bob, Next year's Western National is next September, in Salem, Oregon. Early registration fee is only $50 now, and your '36 will be welcome there whether you have it point judged or not. Check out the registration form here on this website under "Upcoming Events".

Thanks all. I have the book on order. Learned a lot at the western meet, hope to have enough done to mine for next years so the judges can pick it apart so I make sure I get everything right.

Bob;
Looks to me like your 1936 may have a radio. The condenser on the oil sender unit, and the larger voltage regulator on the generator are give-aways.
Now, there were no gas filters on fuel pumps in 1936, so your fuel pump is incorrect and a later model.

Charlie is right -- get the 1935-1936 Ford Book -- I verified my answers from viewing your attached photos and then checking in the book.

Bob,

You really need to purchase the club's book that covers the 1936 Ford, https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Shop.cfm?id=18&pid=2
I think I have a couple of answers but I am really not that knowledgeable on the '36 Fords so to be safe I will just reference the book.

I was at the Western meet and looking at the 1936 cars that were there. Mine seems to be so much different. Fuel pump, cap on top of generator and location of condenser. I would like to show the car next year and I know I have a lot of work to do. Are these differences because mine is a late 36 or are they just wrong
