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!)

Hello all here on the forum. I am hoping to get some advise. My 1939 ford with the 221 ci. V8 runs pretty good. The issue I am having is when we drive the car at highway speed I am getting engine oil mixed in with my radiator coolant, but no coolant in crankcase. Just driving car at city street speeds this does not happen. I can not seam to find much in the net about this. I can find lots about coolant getting in the crankcase not not my problem. Please help.

Nice looking car. Sounds like more oil pressure than hot water pressure. Usually the other way around when steam form the hot radiator blows coolant in to the oil system. Usual culprit is the head gasket or freeze plug. If the oil is not milky too, I would suspect an internal block crack., but, I've never seen that much oil pressure in early Ford V8's. Pressure is the cause, but watch your oil too.
I hope some one with more experience can help.

How much oil is getting into your radiator? The bearings in the waterpumps of the earlier Flathead V-8's were lubricated by engine oil. If your oil pressure is too great you could see some traces of oil in the radiator. Has the engine ever been rebuilt? If it was and a later 80 psi pump was installed, this could be the source of the problem. The older V-8's work best with the original 50 psi oil pumps.

The bushings in your water pump could be worn, allowing the oil to get into the coolant. Having an 80# oil pump should not cause the problem.
