Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

Wow. 3w, you're a real piece of work. So much discussion about attracting and retaining new members... and it seems so many like yourself work hard to scare them off. Really gets me hot under the collar. I promise to be more civil as I know you will too. Keep it to a constructive discussion.

I don't think anybody would mistake my contraptions as original or even like original but I'll give you credit for pointing out that the original thermostats did not look like or attach to the radiator such as the early aftermarket model pictured by another poster. I'm pleased you think them a good idea.

As long as we are being cordial with each other, I'll offer you and possibly a few other members some education. Ford stopped using the extra hose clamp on thermostats beginning with the 1935 models. Reason being if tightened too much, or in the wrong place, the clamp would interfere with operation. I've seen more than a few '35,'36s with the extra top clamp. Judges take note. I've attached a page from one of the Ford Service Bulletins, February 1935, depicting one of the originals. See the section titled Service Instructions. Pretty sure you won't find this in the '35'36 restoration book unless it was added later. You see, there are people who read the threads on this site who care about what was original and what was not... I couldn't agree more and I don't go a single day without learning something new.

Cheers

Well Walter, I wouldn't normally reply to your mud slinging, but you blew it by describing your "modern thermostat holders as "...like the originals...", which they are not. There are people who read the threads on this site who care about what was original and what was not and you would be hard pressed to document those holders as original to 1936 Fords. You will not find them listed in a 1936 edition of a Ford chassis parts catalog where the 40-8575 thermostat is listed. They are a good idea functionally, but not something Ford used in its '36 model production.

"Originally, the in-hose thermostats in '34-'36 heads were kept in place by the addition of a third hose clamp."

No need for another hose clamp. Original style thermostats for these cars are seated in the radiator inlets under the top (single) hose clamp. Direction of flow also helps to keep them in position.

Using his words, not mine, I find 3w2's reply to be nothing more than a misleading, inaccurate statement. I also find his other replies offensive. He would be better served posting on the Hamb where many thrive on handing out insults as a way of covering for their ignorance.

FordHead - Thank you for your contribution. Don't be dissuaded by trolls.

Thermostats are a good idea and will help minimize sludge and improve performance in these old motors run year round. Warm-up is quicker and operating temperature is maintained.

Using a modern thermostat is a bit restrictive but can actually help the 21 studs run cooler by slowing flow through the radiator. Many of the old-schoolers use washers or trim the pump vanes to slow flow thus "giving the radiator a chance to cool it down". Of course 3w2 knows all of this so he need not bother reply.

If you're feeling industrious you can also make a couple of modern thermostat holders for 21 stud-ers using 1-3/4" copper pipe and galvanized flashing (pictured). They slip over the radiator inlets under the hose like the originals and are held in securely with the single hose clamp.

Cheers

You're correct, sorry; it was only a misleading, inaccurate statement.

Really, then why not indicate that? Instead you posed your question as though you did not know and were seeking to find out. And, by the way, there was no thermostat unique to the '36s, it was the same thermostat from '34 through '36. It carried a 40 part number prefix, not a 68 part number prefix.

I know that, but unless your a purist this does work for a lot less money and very available.
