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:

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!)

My carb on my 48 coupe is 59A-9510. The connection parts on the carb for the "throttle" cable appear to be OK, but they pop off with the spring when the cable is pulled to operate the throttle. I have tried numerous times to figure out if I was missing a part or had it connected wrong. Any ideas?

Do you have the rubber "ball" covers on the shafts? If they are missing, the spring catches will not hold. The four piece kit at C&G (91A-9714A) is about $4. (800/266-0470).

OK, Bob, when you say the rubber ball, do THOSE fit onto the shaft on the carb? If so, then I don't have them. Will need to order.

They just fit over the ball on the throttle and choke shaft levers, then the spring loaded connector fits over the ball. There is a picture of them on Pg.128 of the C&G catalog. You need four covers, as they go on each end of the choke and throttle links.

Thanks. Are you saying, though, that in this attached picture, that there should be one of those rubber balls on this shaft? Then the throttle lever, spring, and connector go on next, and THEN the actual cable end connector goes on to the lever/link?

No, the rubber ball does not go on the shaft in the photo. The order of assenbly is: [starting with that shaft in the photo] 1-throttle arm 2-spring 3-retainer 4-rubber ball over the ball of the throttle arm. Do you have all of these pieces?

All:

Are these little rubber ball-bushings used on other years? I've seen them listed from repro-suppliers, but in my experience with early, (mainly 35-41,)Fords have never encountered them. Were they simply "missing" having rotted away, or not originally supplied on earlier models? Likewise, I've seen a number of floor-shift transmission "boots", that I don't believe were ever installed originally. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Dan

Yes the rubber balls were on earlier models. If they come in contact with fuel as they usually do on flatheads; they don't last too long. That may be why you haven't encountered them.

40 Guy:

Thanks, I might also add that I grew up just a few miles from the Kaiser Steel Mill in Fontana
(now the site of the Auto Club 500), so perhaps the smog ate all the little rubber balls! Rubber
parts in SoCal would "petrify" in a matter of months.

40Guy, I have all the pieces EXCEPT the rubber ball. Here is a picture with the throttle arm, spring (hidden under the retainer), and retainer.

Thanks
