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!)

Horn rod OD=0.370", Tube OD=0.420 and ID=0.395" These measurements are approximate. Look to see if tube is oval or round or if rod is bent or oval. If you have an original temperature gauge it can be rebuilt. Look to John Wolf & Co. in Willoughby , OH Often a poor rebuild and the red liquid will fade to clean when exposed to sunlight.

Is it possible that the horn rod diameter is too large. I removed the tube from the bottom and was unable to fit it over the horn rod on the bench

The horn rod goes from the top of the steering wheel all the way through the steering box and into the light switch, which is mounted to the bottom of the steering box. Turning the center of the steering wheel will turn the horn rod and light switch to various positions to allow high beam headlights, low beam, parking lights an off position. The rod has to be very straight to go through the steering inner column without interfearance. The tube at the bottom of the steering box prevents the lubricant in the box from leaking out. The horn rod can be inserted first and then the plate with the tube can be placed over the rod and bolted to the bottom of the steering box. Make sure the tube is secure in the plate! It is best to solder the tube to the plate to prevent lube leaking into the light switch. The horn rod has a wire through it to contacts at the horn button and at the bottom of the rod (bottom contact shown below). When the horn button is pushed the wire becomes grounded and the ground is applied to the center contact of the light switch where the horn wiring is attached. The horns have battery polarity on one wire and with the second wire becoming grounded the horns are energized.
Some people are quick to criticize but don't let that prevent you from asking questions on this form! Many here are willing to assist you.

Have you purchased the V-8 Club's 35-36 Ford book or the V-8 Club's engine book? Both books will help you understand the car and the engine. Obviously you are new to these old Fords and you need all the basic knowledge you can get by reading. It also helps you ask specific questions. Both books mentioned can be purchased in the left menu of this site in the "On-Line Store".

Apparently I have not been smoking the good stuff. I was under the impression that the horn rod controlled the advance. This car is 10 years newer than anything I have worked on in the past. I was not sure what the horn rod is supposed to do. The horn rod will not go all the way down the steering column. There is a tube coming from the bottom of the steering box prevents the rod from protruding out. I also do not know how to hook up the horn to the button.
