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!)

Hi,
I have an aluminum intake manifold from what I believe is a '34 ford. Note low pump stand flange. The manifold at the top of the picture is from my '36 LB engine. Is this the correct manifold for that engine? Note the vacuum takeoff from the bottom of the carburetor flange.

Several years ago, I bought a similiar intake manifold at a swap meet to get the carb and linkage. It had no numbers on it, so I showed it to several others, and we came to the conclusion that it is probably from a 37-39. I've attached a photo of the manifold. As for the vacuum takeoff on the other manifold, it is for the winshield wipers. The round part is a check valve to control backfires which can damage wiper motors.

The aluminum manifold pictured is 33-36. The aluminum manifold that Super has is 37-39.
The difference is the height of the generator mounting flange.

The manifold you show with the vacuum takeoff is probably cast iron and more likely from a 46-48 Ford or Mercury 59AB engine. Also notice the carb base is for the later Chandler Grove and Holley or Ford base not Stromberg as early engines used.

Here is a picture of the intake manifold on my '34. It is different than the ones pictured so far and seems to match the one pictured in the '33-'34 Restoration Manual. The manifold creates a problem with using an alternator because the larger diameter of the alternator case moves the pulley up and requires a longer belt. Longer belts are available, but have the wrong cross-section and ride too high in the pulleys. I need to find a longer than stock belt with the correct profile, change to a generator, or find an intake manifold with a lower generator mount. Advice would be appreciated.

Deluxe 40: I believe you have the authentic correct manifold without the externally visible runners. I revise my thinking on wilmalcolm's aluminum manifold, as being a 35-36 version. Super's 37-39 manifold would solve your mounting problem, albeit at the
price of originality. You could then sell wilmalcolm your correct manifold for his 34.

So the aluminum manifold is for a '36 and the cast iron one is from a later engine. I am rebuilding a '36 so this is good news. I also have another manifold which I took off a '36 LB engine. The Green Book says that all passenger manifolds were aluminum and that '36 commercial manifolds were cast iron. The attached image is of my three manifolds. Left to right: 46-48; '36 for a commercial engine; and the aluminum one for a 35/36 engine?

wilmalcolm: I think you've got it pretty close. The only thing I'd add is that the one on the left may be correct for 40-48, and I'd suggest you need to do a little tuck pointing, followed by some parge-coating on the wall in the background.
