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!)

I bought a 1934 Ford pickup truck in 1978, from the farmer who sold it to me. He drove it into Lakota, North Dakota during the early fifties to a Vet's Ag Program conducted at the Lakota High School. A few years after that it was retired to their junk line of worn out farm machinery. It sat there for years. Then, I came along, as a vocational agriculture teacher in Lakota, and bought the '34 ford to restore. As I recall, the fuel line ran from the top of the fuel tank across to the driver's side and then along inside the frame rail to the front of the vehicle, then up to the fuel pump on top of the engine. I removed that engine since it had severe damage to it from numerous freeze/thaw cycles over the years, and replaced it with a running engine from a 1934 Ford Sedan, from East Grand Forks, Minnesota.
So, it is my belief that the fuel line ran inside the frame rail, from the rear of the vehicle, up to the engine compartment, behind the engine and to the fuel pump on top of the engine. There are holes through the X-frames where they meet the side rail of the frame, the fuel line passes through those holes, and on to the engine compartment, between the rear of the engine and the firewall.
My '34 Ford p/u still is so equipped (with a new fuel line), in regard to the fuel line.
I hope this helps you with your project. As original as possible, right???

Hey! I forgot to include that the fuel line, running along inside the frame channel, is attached to the frame rail with several brackets, held in place with one screw for each bracket. The bracket is about half an inch wide, with a half circle which presses the fuel line to the frame, holding it stationary to the frame. I don't remember if the brackets were held in place with bolts and nuts, or if with screws that self threaded through the frame rail.
There, that's all I know about the fuel line and its attachments;, fuel tank to engine. Sure hope this helps!

Hey! I looked under my '34 Ford Pickup and discovered I posted an error in yesterday's posting. The fuel line is attched by spring clips on the upper surface of the bottom web of the frame. There are at least four spring clips that slip on this web at the bottom of the frame and they have a curved portion that holds the fuel line in place. With this location the fuel line is firmly held in place and protected from gravel that the wheels might kick up on the road.
Sorry for the mis-information, but now I've got it right!
