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!)

All ford pumps have a screen in them. This is a pleated paper filter that can be added to the glass bowl pumps. ken ct

Some of the pumps have a filter in the sediment bowl and others have a fine screen that fits in the top of the sediment bowl.

One can be installed in the glass bowl (if its the longer bowl) not the short one. If you have the right parts, ken ct.

Is there a filter inside the glass bowl or any where inside the pump?

The dual action fuel pump improves the wiper action when you step on the gas. Without the dual action pump,when you step on the gas, your wipers could slow to a stop. With the pump and a good wiper motor, they will just slow down.

To add the vacuum booster, you would remove the hose for the wipers from the intake manifold and attach it to the fuel pump wiper port and then connect a new line from the intake to the fuel pump.

The pushrod can be observed with the fuel pump off and you can turn over the engine until it is at the bottom of its stroke. It only moves about 1/4".

Install the pump, start the engine, hold your finger over the tubes. The one with vacuum goes to the wiper. The other goes to the manifold.

Installation: if you can't get the mounting bolts started in the position the old one was taken off, hold the pump and bump the engine over. If you don't have a remote starter button you will need a helper. You will feel the push rod move. Bump to a better position and install the bolts.

OK, how do I determine which tube is which? Might the pump be marked?

One other question, I guess the push rod for the pump is vertical inside the housing, there must be a crank position for the rod to be at it's lowest point which should be where I would install the pump to make it easy. Should I just turn the engine and observe the rod when it's down the farthest? Looks like the cup on the end of the pump's lever goes over/on top of the rod. I haven't had it apart yet but I have a used pump that I'm looking at.

Your engine vacuum goes to the input side of the vacuum section and the wiper hose goes to the output. It is designed to help with your vacuum wiper operation.

What are the benefits of the dual action? I take it it is just a matter of getting the vac lines sorted.
