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.

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!)

That's not necessory. Just follow what super said. To find the correct terminal on the ignition switch. get a test light. First find the terminal that is hot with the switch off. Don't use this one,then turn the switch to acc, another terminal will be hot. Don't use this one. Then turn the switch to ignition, and the 3rd terminal [ignition] will be hot. This is the one you want to use to power your fuel pump. An inline switch is still an option, although I don't see the need for it. You may need to remove the switch to do all this. Gene

If you are planning to use the electric pump as a primer, the spring switch fed from the accessory side of the ignition switch is best. If you are to use the pump as a replacement for the mechanical pump, you will need a steady power supply, so the switch should be on all the time the ignition is on. If you series the pump thru the oil pressure, it will not run until the engine does, defeating the use for priming. Modern cars use an inertia switch for safety that shuts off the pump if it detects a collision. If you plan to use the pump as the primary fuel supply, be sure it does shut off automatically when the carb is full, and that fuel pressure does not exceed three pounds, or there is a risk of carb overflow, a certain fire hazard.

The easiest [lace to pick up 6 volts when the ignition is on, is the primary side of the coil. You can also pick it up at the hot side of the gauges, the black with green tracer wire. If you are only going to use it to prime your carburetor, use a spring loaded switch.

The best way to wire an electric pump so it replaces the mechanical pump is through an oil pressure switch. Here is a link to one way of doing it.

I am not sure how to do it, I hope someone comes in to help, but what you really want is one that shuts off when the engine stops, like when you have an accident. Otherwise the pump will keep pumping gas into the accident scene. I am sure there is a way to do this but I don't\'t know the details. This might be a good post for HAMB, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/
