Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

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:

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!)

Most dual exhaust pipes don't just bolt-on. The problem arises on the driver's side which must be routed so it doesn't interfere with the clutch pedal. We send these jobs to a good muffler shop who has someone good that can run the pipe bender. I put dual exhaust on my '47 convertible with glass pack mufflers. The sound is mellow and terrific.

My 36 ford coupe had fenton headers with smithys on it when I purchased the car.I still have the mechanical brakes and the battery in stock location.I did insulate the fuel line for safety though.The manifold does run real close to the steering box and the heat does effect the fluid causing it to leak more than it should,so I keep an eye on it.If my car had single exhaust when I bought it would probably still be that way,but it sure sounds nice. Also if you are using smithys drill a small weep hole at the bottom of each muffler because moisture will collect and rot them out, as I have found out, this is now my second set.

Fortunately the previous owner put the battery behind the seat and added the divider panel so it cannot be seen with the rumble seat open. Gives my wife a nice place to put her purse out of site too.

I have Dual Exhaust on my '36 5 Window, coming off of Fenton Headers. Really nice bragging rights. However, just now working on installing hydraulic brakes, what a pain. Had to cut exhaust pipe on the driver's side to get the old original '36 manual pedals out and get the new '39 assy in. So then the studs broke off in the header. Tried a torch and various nut looseners. Had to drill the studs out and retap the holes.

Oh, also the exhaust pipe on the left side, the dual, runs right next to the fuel line. Installed an electric fuel pump on the rear end cross member. Still had vapor locks. Had to insulate the fuel line and the electrical wires. And will now need to insulate the new hydraulic brake line and master cylinder. Will let you know how all this turns out after the first of the year.

Overall recommendations, find something else to brag about.

Would like to hear from anyone that's put duals on or had duals put on a 30s Ford flathead. Any recommendations, tips.

About ten yrs. ago had nice job done on a 48 Chevy coupe with Fenton headers & Smithy’s 26” Glass Packs. Hoping for something similar.

Can also be emailed at guynone@hotmail.com. Thanks & all the best for the Holidays.
