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!)

Once I tried to press off a Ford V-8 water pump pulley. It broke. I have never tried that again.

Look at page 40 of the newest V8 TIMES. Dennis Carpenter shows his new "in head" water pumps for 32-36. They are the way to go, with new impeller design, ceramic seals, roller bearings, and new housings. Rebuilding water pumps requires special experience and tools, such as the appropriate reamers. Most cast pulleys are brittle as glass, and take special care to remove intact. Carpenter is a first class vendor with few or no backorders.

My recommendation is to send your original pump cores to Skip Haney in Punta Gorda, FL. I just had my third set of original Ford pn '35 core pumps rebuilt by Skip. Have also recently had my third set of original pn core '37-'48 type pumps rebuilt by him. He stands behind his rebuild work 100%, no questions asked. If you should ever have ANY problems with the pumps he rebuilds, he rebuilds them again for you at no charge. This also allows you to have correct parts rebuilt for show cars if that's the intent of your project, and these rebuilds can be done on good original USA made core castings, rebuilt in the USA, while keeping an American employed...which are all winning situations IMHO. Carpenter is definitely a top notch supplier, but his new pumps, like the others who are supplying new pumps, are all being made in the big Asian country. Will these suppliers stand behind these foreign made parts 100%....you probably already know the answer to that one. No...I don't work for Skip Haney or receive any type of commission from his sales. I am just a happy customer based on the many items I have purchased from him over the years and wish to spread the good word

Who knows where these pumps were made, but probably NOT in the USA. The correct belt doesn't look like it fits the pullys, but my my real concern is why anyone would want bearings in a 32-36 pump. Because of the short shaft, with a constant stream of water on the shaft while running, its just a matter of time before the water will get to the bearing. Of course if this happens the bearing will lock up, so just call AAA. With bushings you will probably get home.
Ship rebuild my pumps on a 35 Cp over 10 years ago. Since then lots of miles & no problems. Thats a better test than a few hundres miles. Time will tell how these new pumps will work out.
