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!)

So sorry. In my haste I left out the year which was 1983. I found the article on the V-8 flash drive. Best investment I've made since joining the club.

You refer to the July-August V8 Times Article, page 58. What year is the V8 Times issue? I looked at 2018 & 2019, but didn't see it. I have been thinking of cleaning up and painting the air cleaner on my early '46, but before i do that, I'd like to know if I have the correct one.

In the July-August of the V-8 times on page 58, it shows both air cleaners. I have the one on the lower left which should be like yours which was used in the latter 46 and earl 47 Fords. I'm looking for the one in the upper right. I called the one I have a pancake because it looks shorter in height than the other one. You can also check the car for sale ads on this site. A gentleman is selling a 40 convertible. The engine bay pic shows the air cleaner I am looking for. It's possible that the air cleaners were a running change. The 45 models would have had that same air cleaner ( like the 40-42) I would presume. I will keep the one that came on the car. I just thought that it would be nice to have the earlier one.
Ebay was the first site I checked. Other than that site, I guess I could find one at a swap meet, if they ever have any in SC:)

46coupe. What do you call a "pancake" air cleaner. This pic shows the cleaner I have on my late year '46 Super Deluxe. Is this what you mean by a taller cleaner?

I don't know why the picture flattens when I open it, but it is about 5" high.

I have a very early 46 coupe and it has the , what I would call the pancake air cleaner. The car has a lot of 1945 features that were carried over into 46. In one of the articles I read on the flash drive, it shows the taller thin air cleaner like on the 40-41 cars. Does anyone know where I might find one like that? I checked Dennis, Macs and Drakes. They don't have any. Are there any other sources I should check? Thanks for the help.
