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 for all the helpful suggestions (and the dry humor) for removing the water pumps. Actually thought I would need an engine lift to support the engine but the jack, wood blocks, and padding makes good sense (but maybe its not all that common).

To replace the pumps you need only to raise the front of the engine enough to remove the rubber "donut" from under the foot of the pump. It is a good time to replace the rubber parts while you are at it, as most have long lost their ability to cushion. Cinch the mount bolts just enough to cause the rubber to bulge. Usually new rubber insulators, properly tightened, reduce most clutch shudder.. Installing the motor mount bolts doesn't require jacking up the whole car. As a helper inserts the bolt from the bottom, the nut can be installed. Don't forget to put cotter pin thru the top of the bolt after adjustment.

Ken, Dan speaks from experience, as he used to live in the Land of Glossy Paper, (AKA Southern California).
Up here in Northern California, we've always preferred JC Whitney catalogs.

Ken: Poor old Alan lives out west where they don't have enough water to flush with. He uses a Bay Area phone book in his outhouse because the Sear's catalogs have gotten too thin, and the glossy paper makes it hard to do a good job.

One fella posted on here or FB that he uses a NY style telephone book on top of the 2x6 as sort of a cushion against the pan,sounds like a good idea and a good way to repurpose,recycle old phone books. lol ken ct.

Ken, That's good! On another post, advice was given to jack up the whole engine and remove the tranny mounts as well! These multiple responses to questions gives a guy lots of choices, don't they?

Alan I have a 36 so I don't even need support engine on a W/P change. He asked how to support engine on a later W/P-M/M change I figured that would be the I would do it. Yea I guess it could be done w/o lifting the frt. end off the ground. ken ct.
