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!)

I went with the Narrangansett wiring harness (Thanks for the referral Tom O'Donnell). All of my harness came today. All looks good. They did forget to include my 40 female bullet connectors, but Ed said he would fix it up for me. I custom made my own Generator to Voltage Regulator harness from the 1941 piece. Still need to get or make the coil to power wire. Looking forward to tackling this project soon.

This person has very good reviews; nice to deal with and maybe a tick less than the other guys in price.

Buy the correct harness from Narraganset wiring. You will get the correct gauge wiring, with the correct color coding and the bullet connections will be soldered on instead of crimped. The installation instructions will be clear and you can call for help if needed. They can also add turn signal wires if needed.

I have been buying pieces to re-wire my 1937 DeLuxe Fordor. I am going to purchase the headlight wiring harness soon.

Joe's Antique Auto offers Part # 78-11653 for 1937 Ford.

Dennis Carpenter offers Part # 78-11647 for 1937 "Standard". There is no item for "DeLuxe."

C&G Early Ford Parts offers Part # 78-11653 for 1937 Ford.

MAC's offers Part # 78-11653 for 1937 Ford "passenger & pickup" with "horn wiring", and Part # 77-11653-B for "DeLuxe & pickup."

I have the DeLuxe Fordor with two horns. Which wiring harness is the right one for me? I want to buy the correct one the first time around. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

TonyM.
