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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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!)

Ken: I am more worried about me, than the monkey! The "wind chill" here last night was 30 below! At our shop, we sold more batteries this week than we have for months. Batteries lose more than half of their power when the temp goes below zero, and those who have neglected maintenance were stranded. Over 50% of vehicles today are more than six years old, and the hard times have cut even minor repairs. I actually saw a fellow yesterday beating on a frozen radiator hose with a plastic hammer!

Skip charges $200 per pair, plus S&H of $12. The pumps you get back are your pumps. You can send them , with a check for $212 to Skip at 12168 Azure Ct. Punta Gorda FL 33955. If you prefer replacements, Bob Drake has a sale on new ones at $99.50 for the pair until March 31. See his ads in the latest issue of the V8 TIMES

rbone: Best I can remember, Skip charges $200.00 for both pumps. Don't cut corners on your water pumps, as they are the the heart of your engine. Give Skip a call. He is great to work with and will answer your questions.Tom..

Would someone mind telling me how much Mr. Haney charges to rebuild a pair of pumps?

Thanks BO on the Bob Drake tip. I did not know they were on sale.

I also live in Texas and do everything I can to keep the old flattie running cool in the summer time.

Thanks,
Ron

Speaking of the brass monkey, tonight in North Texas forecast 7 degrees? Colder than my lifetime and I'm an old toot. On the subject of water pumps, supereal is correct, do both pumps, Skip pumps are the way to go, I have personal experience with after market pump housing no fit on engine--not a good thing out on the road. Skips pumps work great for me in hot Texas (in season)driving conditions.

Bob, It's coincidental obsolescence, no doubt about it. BTW, in this latest spate of "global warming", did you bring in the "brass monkey?":>) Ken

Replace or rebuild both water pumps, even though only one shows a problem. So many other parts, such as headlamps, usually fail at nearly the same time, and it saves time and effort to fix both. I don't know if it is "planned obsolescence", or coincidence.

I sent my pumps from my '41 & 48 Ford's to Skip & they work better than ever. Another item is that you know that they will fit the engines that you took them off. I've read discussions regarding some of the imported replacement parts don't fit.
