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!)

53 Flathead with Ford Carb EAB 9510A...94 series..
I have the carb apart for cleaning. Looking at parts sheet, and from other info, it appears there should be a check weight below the accelerator pump discharge nozzles. I removed the nozzles, and it looks like something is in the well, but it won't come out. I put air pressure in the accel pump cavity, and air comes out the nozzle well, but no bits or pieces come out. Is this part a permanent part of this style carb, or should it come out? It looks like the needle from the needle and seat. I know the rebuild kit fits different models, and maybe this part is different for this carb. Anyone have experience with this issue? Should this part actually come out? I have soaked the carb in cleaner to remove any sludge that might be in this area. I can't imagine it being stuck in there that tight. I thought initially maybe this piece was just missing, but there is no room for it. Thanks

There is a small needle in that cavity as you figured. It looks very much like the needle at the float.
It should come out. If it is stuck in there securely, it MUST come out to find out why it is stuff so well.

it is supposed to drop out when turned upside down. I put carb cleaner in the hole and in the passage in the accelerator pump well and let it set. Keep adding the cleaner as it evaporates. It should eventually come out when you put air pressure directly to the hole in the bottom of the accelerator pump well. Lay a rag over the body to catch the weight and prevent the spray from getting in your eyes.

Hold it tight in your hand and slam it down hard on a solid piece of wood (like a deck board or a wooden boardIts made of brass. It will eventually come out polish up real well especially the tip part. These are brass unlike the inlet needle which is a monel alloy.Do not use a rubber tipped needle or a rubber accelerator pump. Call if you need more help. 1-203-260-9780 cell ken ct.
