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:

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!)

Solved problem with NAPA fil 1006--it comes with 2 O rings, one of which fits perfectly and the filter is an exact replacement also ($19.99)--the key is then to torque the cover bold just tight enough to stop seeping of oil from the top of the canister that holds the filter.

The Fram filters I buy have gaskets included, and they fit snug into the oil filter cap so they don’t fall off when installing the cap.

If you have the filter housing that takes the Fram C-4 cartridge, try the WIX 51006 cartridge or NAPA FIL 1006. People seem to have better luck with those. Try the gasket before you use the filter, so you can return the filter if needed

Retrieve the gasket you tossed or resign yourself to making a new gasket from scratch. Or, maybe a different brand oil filter will have the correct size gasket. I ran into this same problem when I replaced the FRAM filter in my '53 - I had to use the old gasket...

'37 Ford's normally were not equipped with oil filters. You must have an accessory oil filter or you have a 1949 or later Flathead engine. I would reuse the original gasket. What is the part number of the new filter?

Post a picture of the engine you have...

HI--new to the 37 Ford. I just got the car and wanted to change the oil. Ordered new filter and gasket. When I installed then the oil filter and started the engine oil is gushing out of the filter as the ring is not quite the same size as the original--any comments. I tried gasket compound but no good. Thanks.
ps--the oil plug was huge, but I found a 2" socket is the right fit as I see others had this problem of trying to get it off.
