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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

I may have one,acually are you talking about the gas inlet hole where the feed line screws into , its really part of the middle inside bowl section. 1/8" fine us pipe thread. Yes it is pretty fine as all 1/8" pipe thread is. Ive got 2/3 of a used carb (no top cover) Pretty dirty but has usable thread in it. You can have it for a $10 usa bill and pay shipping. If you want it I will go to US Post office for cost of shipping to you. ken Isidor Ct. usa. I'm liquidating my 25 yr hobby business. ken ct. I post on the efv8ca website only. I would need your complete name and address for PO. send it in an email. igadore@sbcglobal.net

Dear Ken. Thanks for your response. That sounds great provided the thread is OK as you state & the alloy base is OK too. I can clean it so no bother to me there.
Could you please quote cheapest P/P to Peter Hibbert 5 Tarnook Street Vermont South 3133 Melbourne Australia.
I have some time for it to arrive. After I hear back, we can arrange payment as you require. Keep on FORDIN`. Cheers...Peter. E-mail. peter_hibbert@bigpond.com

Peter , USPO wants $76.00 shipping to Melbourn this is basically the whole carb all 3 sections. Cutting it down to just the middle bowl section would not save much maybe a couple of dollars.If it would help you i'll give you the carb as a gift for the shipping chg. alone. This is the only one that has the 1/8" PT inlet out of many I have. Email will still not go through. Send me a reg. email to mine. igadore@sbcglobal.net and I will have your proper email. ken ct. usa
