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!)

Not sure if you have the Stromberg 97 carb, but I found these 4 part videos on Youtube very helpful when rebuilding my 97 carb.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge.
My carburetor in a Chandler Groves, I think a model 94.
Anyone have any experience rebuilding on of those?
Below are some pictures of the carburetor.

The Chandler Groves Carburetor became the Holley 94 Model after 1938. Rebuilding techniques should be similar to those for the Holley.

Catfish, your carb is indeed a 94, and was manufactured by Ford, as confirmed by the F near the base of the accelerator pump. It is one of several of the era, identical in all but cosmetic respects. One more photo can nail it down specifically as being either 1938 or 1939: the driver side float bowl will be without a mark of any kind (1938), or will have 91-99 (1939) . Both examples are scarce, hard to find, and of considerable value. Rebuilding a 94 is not difficult, but will require specific parts not found in most rebuild kits. I would advise using parts available from daytonaparts.com for functionality, but do not use any colorizing at all.

Thanks Carcrazy and Ford38V8.
Ford38V8 you mentioned “but do no use any colorizing at all”
I’m not sure what that means.

Tim at Daytona parts told me the problem could be the fuel pump is putting out too much pressure. This will cause the level in the bowl to be too high. He said if the pump was rebuilt with an inferior kit, the spring rate could be too stiff.
What is the correct discharge pressure for this pump? How do you measure it without cutting and teeing into the discharge line?

One of the services at Daytona is to restore the color appearance of carbs. My advice is to pass on that option.
Tim is correct, new pump kits may include springs that overpressurize your carb, which requires a max of 3psi. The simple fix is to reinstall the old spring if it is still available.
Some simple vacuum test gauges can also test fuel pressure. Do not cut the line, just disconnect from carb for the test. The tester will have a rubber push-on connector.

If the idle mixtuure screwa sre too lean; the car will stall when you stop. Tryi backing off (out) each one about 1/16th of a turn.

The rebuilding of the Carb. is the same as for the 1939 and 40 Holley or Ford 94 model 91-99 and can be found in the Ford Service Bulletins. Most rebuilding kits contain enough instructions to get you going. The link on the side of the Carb from the base accelerator linkage to the bottom of the round accelerator pump rod should have the letter "C" stamped on it.
