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!)

I use the Skip Haney overfllow check valve that attaches to the bottom of the radiator overflow tube. With a good sealing radiator cap and the check valve in place, the cooling system will operate at about 3-4 psi. This eliminated the dribble of coolant from the overflow tube on my '35 fordor sedan, which prior to having the check valve in place, would eventually result in an overheated system when enough coolant had been lost. It was the best $25.00 I ever spent.

Radiator removal surgery has been ongoing here yesterday and this morning. The rad goes in to the repair shop on Monday.

SAME QUESTION AS LAST POST........

Does anyone recommend, either in favor of or against, the proposal to convert the cooling system on this '36 to some sort of low pressure set-up?

We lost an awful lot of coolant through the overflow pipe last June in the 100-degree-plus desert weather last year heading eastbound after the Golden Jubilee along Route 66 and I-40. If possible, that is something which I would like to avoid in future.

For those who may be interested, the radiator-ectomy surgery has been accomplished without disturbing any components attached to the LB engine. Instead, we have taken off:

1. the hood
2. the shiny dog
3. the V8 Ford ornament above the grille
4. as one assembly, with headlamp buckets disconnected and laid back on top of the fenders, the grill and the left and right aprons into which the circular chrome plated horn covers are mounted (68-16022 and 68-16023, if I'm reading the FoMoCo parts book correctly.......bolts holding them to the grill were removed or loosened first to allow a bit of flexing).

FORUM refuses to let me post photos. If anyone wants to see photographs, I will be pleased to provide them via email.

Or maybe another member could contact me at 519-666-2891 and walk me through the process so that photos can be posted here. I simply cannot make it work.
