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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

46, You might consider taking a 40 mile drive up I 287 to Whippany, NJ, to meet fellow V8ers from the Garden State Regional Group #38 . Their meetings are held on the second Friday every month. Give Al Gael a call at (908) 439-2798 and help celebrate their 40th anniversary.

46fordnut,

Sears has a vacuum gauge for around $25.

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00902179000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

You can use it to trouble shoot your fuel pump, adjust your idle and check general engine condition. It is a very useful tool to have.

If you belong to a Regional Group of the Early Ford V-8 Club, contact some of the other members and you may be able to borrow one.

Tom

answers are people the have done or are in (the know) on what has or had happened. i would hope if some answers something they have the proper answers and time to correct what is the trouble to begin with. the tires on my car are 600 by 16 bais ply tube type . so this is why i asked you or someone just to be sure not to be wrong in what i do.

46, 32psi is fine. The key here is to inflate to what is specified on the tire, not to the original car specification. All modern tires are so identified with pressure and load.

I'll repeat what is often said by others: "There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers." ...Questions are posed by people who wish to learn, answers are offered by people who think they know something. I ask you now, which one is way out on a limb here?

yes .. i did not mean that it was you who said i was to be gone..while it seems the forum has all that we who dont know all about flatheads or other types of engines i will be here to see how everyone here can help others or even some other things maybe i can even help with from what i learn from you or others here in. i wont leave or make dumb statements or questions. how ever i will make it so if i have any troubles when i post i will answer and leave how things went from this point on. the issue im working on now i have to wait till tax return time for parts. but on the bright side she is in a safe place and will never be alone. some times i cant fix the issue right then and there so by the time i can the post that i placed is long gone. that is why is dont leave feed back most of the time . i remember alot of people have helped . you are one of the many. thank you

one quick thing my car asked for 28 psi in the tires is it ok to put 32 psi.

46, I'm afraid you've misunderstood my meaning. My point is that you and others like you who have questions are exactly the reason this Forum exists. This is a place to get answers to the questions that keep our Fords on the road. If some folks can't understand our reason for being, then it is they who are in the wrong place, not you. Don't stop posting your questions. We'll try to answer them. Deal?

Alan
