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!)

Hello John, this fiber press-on has 56 teeth. How much you must have for all alluminium gears? Vanpelt do not have t-gears to 1933 V8. HP

I decided to use an aluminum gear, with steel insert ring at inner diameter, because of the poor quality reproduction fiber gears that are being sold today. There was some concern that aluminum would make more noise than fiber but that didn't bother me.
The aluminum press-on gear that I used came from Mac VanPelt Sales in Cinn., Ohio. PN 81B-6256-A, std. size, 44 teeth, for Late '35-'41. I later bought several more on either ebay or Fordbarn.com classifieds just in case I needed them for my other cars. You would need to make sure of the tooth count on the timing gear that you actually need for your '33. Based on the Green Parts Book, '32-Early '35 used PN 18-6256-B, std. size, 56 teeth, fiber press-on gear, but somehow I found and bought two of these made of aluminum that I will probably have no use for. Let us know what gear and tooth count you actually have on your car when you get it apart.

You have a very nice '33 fordor.
I don't want to discourage you, but replacing that timing gear can be an extensive job if you are not familiar with the mechanics of working on these early Ford v8's.
Several years ago I had a timing gear fail on my '35 fordor sedan which has an original '35, 21 stud engine. I was told the only way to replace the timing gear was to completely remove the camshaft to press the old gear off and the new gear on. I did not want to go to the hassle of removing the camshaft, so I worked out a process/procedure that allowed me to remove the old gear and install a new gear with the camshaft still in the engine. I had to make some special tooling to do this.
For good working access to the timing gear, I removed the grille, lower louvered grille panel, radiator, fan, fan belt, crankshaft pulley, distributor, plug wire harnesses, and of course the timing gear cover.
I chose to use a press-on aluminum timing gear to replace the original fiber gear. You could send me a personal message if you have any specific questions on how I did this gear replacement. Good luck!

John
