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.

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!)

In looking at my original invoice from R. Remund shows the dist. as F-42-48-6 and the Ign Mod. as #28W-6VPT.

Thanks for the info.

Jay, I have a new, in-the-box, Remund distributor that came as a spare for a similar unit that was on my car. My car is 6v positive ground with a '42 style distributor. This unit has one black wire that is 13 1/2 inches long and ends in a female bullet connector and one black wire with a white stripe that is 16 1/2 inches long and ends with a round terminal.

The unit on my car was the same. The shorter black wire with the bullet connector was connected to the wire from the ignition switch (which bypassed the resistor on the firewall). The longer black and white wire went to the coil. AS I RECALL, it went to the (-) terminal. The (+) side of the coil was then grounded to a manifold bolt. (My memory isn't very good).

The invoice included in the box shows this distributor to be a "F-42-48-6 Model #34V-6VPT" and that a previously installed module "#31U-6VPT" had been replaced during a rebuild. (My car is a '34, if that is relevant).

Note that I removed the electronic distributor and replaced it with a stock points setup because the engine was dying every time I turned on any electrical accessory (like the brake lights, head lights or radio) while at idle. Changing the distributor and coil solved the problem. I changed the coil because the Remund units use a 12V coil without the resistor.

Thanks for the reply.
What is the proper way to hook this up. I have two wires coming from the Dist.now that it has been converted. a long black one and a black one with a white stripe. As previously noted the dist. was built for 6 volt pos. grd.

Be sure you observe polarity when connecting the unit. Many were made to use negative ground, and will be damaged if connected in reverse.

You have to by pass the resistor unit as you need the full 6 volts of battery voltage for the electronic ignition to work to its full advantage.

I removed my Remund ignition from my '47 woody some time back to do some detailing and freshening up and of course it got out of hand and now the whole frnt end is off the car. I am now putting everything back together and cannot find my wiring diagram that I received from Mickey 8 or 10 years ago. It's a '42 dist.
My question is with the 6 volt Pos. ground, using the electronic ignition, do you use the under the dash resistance unit or by pass it?
