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!)

My '36 Sedan has an interior heater with two pipes that pass thru the firewall and are obviously meant to connect to the radiator hoses somehow. There were no hoses connecting the heater to a water source when I got the car. Can someone tell me how these water connections are made? Thanks.

My hook-up is similar to Tudorbill's hook-up but I used a hose adapter similar to what is used on the bottom radiator hose. Regardless of which way you do it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put a shut-off valve in series with the heater inflow to cut-down on the heat that enters the passenger compartment in the summer.

Flathead Fan: (with apologies to Ole Bill for interrupting his thread)

Your "wrong photo" is very interesting. Besides appearing to have a Columbia vacuum source,
I'm curious as to the purpose of the little "metering valve" on the oil filter supply line.
Is this in lieu of the specified restrictor orifice, or do you use it to shut-off the filter for more oil pressure?

Stroker-

Living where I am (MI) my cars often sit for months. During this time any and all oil in the filter drains out. So when I do restart the car I don't want to divert oil from where it is needed to fill the filter so I shut off the oil flowing to the filter hence the shut-off valve. When things get warmed-up I open the valve and let things operate normally. I do have a flow resistor to the oil filter.

As for the hose, good observation but not necessary the right conclusion. I don't have a Columbia rear axle (I have a 3.54). The hose you see goes to a '57 T-Bird vacuum booster. I have '48 hydraulic brakes with the booster added. The addition of the booster gives me some really serious stopping power. I don't know why more guys don't add a booster to their brakes. It is easy to install (no holes to drill) and you only need to splice it into your existing plumbing.

Hope this answers your questions.

Tom

Flatheadfan:

Thank You! Your T-Bird booster looks a lot like the Hydrovac units we used to have on our trucks.

With Further Apologies to ole Bill!

One more apology to ole Bill...
Flathead fan,
Your fuel line from the pump to the carb; Is that a fuel filter? If so, what kind and model number if you have it. Also, is that the only filter you have in the system? Thanks, Ken

Ken-

Yes, that is a fuel filter. It is a standard Ford fuel filter which would screw directly into the carb. It was used in Ford products during the 60s and 70s. It is readily available and cheap.

The reason I am using a filter between the fuel pump and the carb is to pick-up any residue from the fuel pump diaphragm or flex hose as a result of the alcohol blended gas we are forced to use. I much rather have the stuff collect in the filter than in the carb.

I do have another fuel filter back by the gas tank just prior to an electric fuel pump I use to prime the system after a long sit. During normal use all fuel goes through this filter before it makes its' trek to the fuel pump.
