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:

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!)

The pump that I bought from NAPA was made in the USA.

Big Red, Supereal, thanks for the info. I will have to look into this further before I get a new pump. I was told by the owner that the 8BA was from 1950. It was only after I began looking up parts that I saw there were different pumps to be had. The one currently has no bowl, but that might of been what was handy at the time in 56' . We were running it off of a can and did not think there was anything in the tank. Must have pulled some garbage into the line. Pretty sure the pump is gone now though. My progress is slow, learning as I go with this one. Thanks-Q

You didn't mention the year of the 8BA, if you know it. The 49-50 engines used one type, while another was installed 51-53. In each case there were two sub types, a single action and a double action pump. The single action pump had a glass bowl with a builtin filter in most trucks and some cars. Old pumps almost always are not "fuel proof", and the dry diaphragms often crack and leak after long storage, which is likely why yours quit, if it did. Be sure that the gas line isn't plugged with debris from an old dry tank before your blame the pump. We always install an in-line fuel filter between the tank and the pump to catch the inevitable junk from years of not running.

Banjo, Get a NAPA mechanical pump NFP M826 for about $44 and that will do the trick.

I have a 36 pickup that has an 8BA flathead in it. We were successful in getting it to run, but the fuel pump gave up after 10 min. This truck has been sitting for nearly 50 yrs. Looking up the fuel pump, I see that the 8BA should be using a fuel pump with a glass bowl. Is this correct? The one on the truck has none. Knowing the history of this truck, I am not surprised. Can anyone tell me which pump is correct for an 8BA? Or, will either one fit and do the job.
