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:

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!)

Other than the port at the rear of the block behind the intake manifold, is there another place to measure oil pressure?

If you have a V8-60 Engine the port for the oil pressure gauge is at the top rear of the intake manifold (valve cover).

If your talking about an 85 HP there is a vertical and a horizontal port.

I'm not familiar with the '36 engine, but the picture shows how I "piped" to supply three points; the oil filter line, the pressure sender, and the line going to the mechanical oil pressure gauge, that I installed in my 59AB, '46 Coupe. The line for the pressure gauge looks like it is kinked, but that is just the cover I put over the line to prevent chafing if there were places it would rub, between the engine and the dash. I installed the gauges when I first purchased the car, because the stock gauges were not working, and I didn't want to drive it without knowing the engine status. I learned how to fix the gauges, which I have done, thanks to the members on this forum, but I have not brought myself to remove the ones I installed under the dash.

As 51Woodie indicates, one can find an assortment of brass fittings to accommodate most needs. I added an under-dash tube-fed oil gauge. Speaking of gauges .... I adjusted all the dash gauges to match readings shown on the under-dash oil and amp gauges. Left the stock temperature gauge alone since the sensors are on opposite sides of the block. I added a voltage gauge because charging system was spiking too high and killing my distributors' pertronix ignition module (got rid of that setup and back to a stock points distributor).
