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!)

I tried to use the search forum so as to not ask a question that's already been answered, and came up empty.

Does anybody have a known radiator hose that works for the lower hoses on the v8-60?

I'm familiar with standing in the radiator hose section of my parts store and looking for a hose that I can cut down; just wondered if somebody else had already done the homework.

Thanks,

You have the right idea. That's what I did in 1982, when my 1937 Ford 60 hp needed hoses. Sorry, but the memory of the hose numbers and the car are long gone.
I do remember that they were GM though.

The hoses are 1 1/4 inch i.d. and need a 90 degree to attach to engine. I was lucky to find a couple to cut to proper length from a selection of industrial machinery hoses like tow motor ones. I hated that 60 h.p engine that was in my 37 coupe.

Somewhere previously someone had provided a hose number that worked well for the top hoses, and we noticed that they will cut down and work perfectly for the lower hose, too. I'll have to check while we're at the shop to be able to mention the part #, however.

Was it something other than the lack of power that was so bad about the 60?

The green bible lists the hose as part number 74-8286-A for the 1937 passenger 60 hp and states: "Used with offset connections on cylinder block - 1 1/2" I.D. X 7.9" long."

The other hose listed for 1937 60 hp is part number 74-8286-B stating: "Use with straight connections on cylinder block-moulded."

If you wanted to buy the upper hose and cut it down its part number is 74-8260 but it doesn't seem to be available any more than the lower one for the 60 hp.

Perhaps that information is helpful.

Somewhere on a previous post someone suggested gates 21202 as a modern hose that could be used for the upper radiator, and after taking a second look, they will work for the bottom also with a little more trimming.
