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!)

How do you remove the chatter bars on flathead V8. I removed the nuts but how do they come off the frame? No bolt thru the frame.

You can get at the bellhousing 9/16 bolts with a swivel and long extension
cause I hate fooling with floor mats. After front motor mounts are
removed : now you jack or block the transmission Then comes the
misrable exhaust pipes. I just find it easier to unblolt exhaust manifolds
and just leave it there pipes & all> Things I hate > draining antifreeze taking the hood off, taking lower misrable hoses off . other than that
20 minutes then its on the floor... Anti freeze happens every time, to
slide the drain pan then I step in it 5 gal all over me and floor. (smile)
Other than that, all clutch linkage shift rods stay . Then when lifting
engine out expect to wear 1/2 of coolant from the water pumps all over
good Idea is to use rubber caps on the pumps hardware store...
to clairify forgot to say "blocking the trans" I meant to say that
you already have a chain fall holding engine UP remove front mounts now jack or bleck trans. right there. Then I would buy
one of those leveling things for the chain fall thats slick..

Remove the bolts from the transmission mount or at the very least, loosen them up quite a bit. If not, you'll run a high risk of breaking the mount "ears".

Before removing the hood be sure to use a grease pencil or other device to mark the locations of the bolts on the hood. This will make it easier to line up the hood when you put it back on the car.

Steve, I remove the hood for clearance and the front seat to prevent grease stains as well as give more room to work on the engine.

Disconnect the battery
Remove the floor mat and the floor boards
Remove the fan
Remove the radiator hoses and the radiator
Remove the chatter bars from the engine to the frame
Disconnect the exhaust pipes
Disconnect wires from the coil and generator
Remove the generator
Remove the motor mount bolts
Connect the engine hoist chain to exhaust manifold bolts at the front and back of the engine on both sides.
Remove the bolts from the bell housing
Support the transmission with a jack
Raise the engine with the hoist and adjust the jack under the transmission
Pull the engine forward and then remove it.

If I have left out any steps, you will find out when you start the job or someone will be kind enough to add them. Good Luck.

Tom
