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 contacted C&G, and the fellow I talked to got the motor in hand, and measured it. It is too long to fit the 40 heater. But thanks for the offer!!! Sorry I can't use it.

Carl, I measured from the motor mounting face on the heater frame to the fan. I have a Maximum of 2-15/16" with the fan pushed away from the motor as far as possible, and a Minimum of 2 3/4" of room, with the fan pushed as far towards the motor as possible. Spliting the difference leaves 2 27/32". If your motor is 3 3/8" from mounting face to fan, I don't think it will fit the 40 heater.?? I have been told the 39 and 40 heaters were the only ones with this size motor, which is a smaller motor than the 41 - 48. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see where this motor will fit. Supereal gives a measurement of 2 3/4" long, which would fit. I'm confused. I would gladly buy your motor if I know it will fit. I'll go back to C&G and look again, and let you know. Thanks Much!!

Supereal describes the very 6v heater motor from C&G that I have to offer except at half the price. From mounting face to fan blades measures 3 3/8.

Carl, do you know how long the motor is from mounting face to mounting face?? The other dimensions sound real good to me.

I think I can find a 12 volt motor that will fit okay. As far as heat, I think the flathead used a 160 degree thermostat, so if you add 20 or 30 degrees to that, I know there will be some heat there. Thanks for the reply!!!

I have a '40 heater in my '36 and it works so good that I run it on low speed with the valve almost closed. It has a replacement motor that is about a 1/4'' to long and the blade scr*ped until I shimmed the case in the right place and now it works better than fine. Also, the car is 12 volt and I use a resister for thew 6 volt motor.

Thanks Much!!! Those measurements sound like they will work very well. Not much heat is better than no heat. I don't drive it in the winter, but on cool days, it's nice to have a little heat for my bones. We usually have many nice driving days when the temps are lower, and to have the heater would let me enjoy the car that much more.

C&G shows a "universal" motor. The diameter is 2 7/8", 2 3/4 long, with a quarter inch diameter shaft, $80. The motor can be wired to reverse using an original type control that flips polarity. Heaters were not usually factory installed, and the dealer furnished it. This resulted in several different models and manufacturers. I found one for my '47 from a salvage place in Missouri after a long search. Most of these heaters don't produce much warmth, even on high speed.

Dave, if you PM me with your email address I can send you some pictures with measurements.
Do you have a complete heater? It sounds like the shaft has been cut down on the motor. Besides the squirrel cage inside the housing, there should be a conical part of the housing with a hole that the motor shaft protrudes through and there is a multi blade propeller out there. To facilitate this, a 7/8" shaft length wouldn't reach out to where the multi bladed fan attaches.
