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!)

Thanks Guys,

Speedway Motors sells an Offenhouser pump that is made in the USA. Rockauto.com sells the Airtex for $28.79.

I prefer the Offenhauser pump as it keeps a higher residual vacuum.

Airtex also makes mechanical pumps. Finding any made here is tough because most are foreign made. Airtex makes them in Mexico, mostly.

I bought a new not rebuilt mechanical fuel pump from Napa just a couple years ago and it is made in the USA. I think I still have the box if you need a number but if you go to Napa and tell them you need a fuel pump this is the one that will come up. I started my engine up in 2007 with a supposedly quality rebuilt pump from an old but NOS one in the box.Even though I was promised that the diaphragm would withstand ethanol it failed within 6 months.Was rebuilt another one by another"fuel pump and carb guru"same results. I figured from what I read on forums that Napa or anything new would be Chinaman made and really junk why I never really bought a new one. Finally had to but figured it would be just another temporary one but it had been dependable now for 4 years,also cheaper than rebuilds. Airtex also makes mechanical ones not neccesarily electric as you assumed from previous post. I think one from Napa may have been made for them by Airtex or mayby had Federal Mogul on the box somewhere,also Airtex may be Carter?

Thanks c-gor. I will keep that in mind but I think I want to try to stick with the mechanical pump. Maybe I will have to go electric in the future with the new e-10 gas problems with the old cars.
