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. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page.

I woke up this morning in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to high winds and about 4 inches of ice pellets , freezing rain and temps around 25F. I'm wondering where all that global warming I keep hearing about has gone.

The sad part is I can't get to my car to install all the goodies I picked up over the winter. I have a complete fuel, ignition and braking system to install. I haven't even started the car since I cleaned the carb.:-(
The good thing is the cooling system held coolant all winter so the rad and heater core seem to be in good shape. I was surprised that the cooling system took 5 gallons of water/antifreeze mix. That is a large amount of coolant for a 239 ci engine.
Here I sit chomping on the bit.

Whether it is a rebuilt or not will be shown the next time I start the engine. I don't have any doubts but time will tell. I am far from perfect.

Huh! Here in "Sunny Florida it's been running about 80 degrees with very little humidity!! Great car show weather!! I went to a car show last Saturday at Crystal Truck, and my '50 custom got 1st place!! Yesterday, I went to another show at the Baptist church, with my '50 Crestliner, and another 1st place!! There is another show next Sunday at Chestnut Park. Guess I better take my 40 Ford cvt. and see if I can get a tri-fecta!! If I do I'd better take my '57 Corvette to one after that, and give the other cars a rest.
