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!)

The pump in the photo is the one I have on there now. It is old. Came with the car when I bought it. The car had not run since the early 1960s. I installed the correct 1937 aluminum intake, that is when I replaced the pump initially. So the pump in the photo is incorrect? If it is then I'll find the correct pump and have it rebuilt.

No Teflon tape was used.

Thanks Tom

It looks like your float is set too high, the needle valve is stuck or the least likely, your fuel pump is putting out too much pressure for the Stromberg.

Check the float needle valve for debris, there could be some from the deteriorating flex hose that you replaced. I hope that you did not use Teflon tape on the fittings, as it will shred and the particles will keep the needle valve from closing.

As I said in my previous post, your fuel pumps are aftermarket items and incorrect for a 1937 Ford. I would not waste money on rebuilding one of these.

If you want your car to be Concourse correct or are going for a Rouge Class award, try and find a correct pump at the meet and have that rebuilt, if you just want a driver, use one of the available replacements.

Tom

No Stalling Problem. Car runs. Engine sounds great. No loss of power whatsoever. Gas cap is regular Ford equipment.

Be sure you have a vented cap on your gas tank. We have seen radiator caps on fuel tanks which, being non vented, cause stalling until the vacuum is relieved thru the system.

New problem: Fuel is weeping from the body of the carburetor. The car is running. This is turning into "whack a mole"--solve one problem and another one pops up. As soon as I find new storage I will send this carb and fuel pump to KenCT for a rebuild. I am still hoping to get this car to the meet next week.

Sorry for the mix up.

It is August 11 and unfortunately I still have not received my July/August issue of the V-8 Times.

Beginning to worry about where it is.

Thanks for all the help Tom.
