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:

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 much are you gas adding to the oil, and how much to the gas??

( P.S I've long ago thought Marvel Mystery Oil is nothing but ATF fluid. I like to hear how many others think that to; and how much they add to their gas and to their oil)

Let's hear it all you guys!

I add about 4 - 5 o oz,s to 16 gallon of gas, None in the oil. It's not just ATF.
ATF might work also??

MMO is not transmission fluid. I do not add any to my gas. I don't see the need for it.

When I had my Model A I ALWAYS ran MMO, glug glug glug. Do the same thing in the 40, isn't going to hurt anything. Many people use the ATF

Sage advise from my father, " Don't Let The Directions On The Can Outsmart You".
The instructions on the MMO container state '4oz per 10 gal of gasoline'.
Most good tuneup men recommend MMO added to the fuel on engines that have a carb.
The addition of MMO to the fuel will protect the carb and fuel pumps from early failure do to the effects of gasoline that contain alcohol.
I have never believed that modern engine oils need additives to improve and/or extend the life of an engine. If the oil used in an engine is of the type recommended by the manufacture, the oil has everything built into to meet the engines designed needs.

If you have sticky valves, MMO in the fuel works well, especially if you add 1 qt to your crankcase 500 miles before you change your oil. If you have sticky lifters, MMO in the oil helps to free them. Synthetic oil keeps them clean and free. MMO is also a good penetrating oil.

I last rebuilt my carburetor in 2005 and installed a new fuel pump in 2008. I consider that good endurance. I can only get fuel with Ethanol around my home, so most of the time that is what is in the tank. I do add Seafoam to every tank when I am not on the road. This helps preserve the fuel and retards the separation of fuel and oil. It also helps the fuel burn better and keeps the plugs cleaner.
