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!)

Tony, the Early V-8 Club has published a book on the 33-34 Fords. It'a a great book and will answer many of your questions. You can purchase it off this site(front page) or if you are a V-8 club member you can call the number in the ad in the V-8 Times. If you are not a V-8 Club member you should join. For $35 a year you will get 6 issues of the V-8 Times. It is one of the best magazines in the car hobby that covers Fords from 1932-1953.

I agree 100% with 37RAGTOPMAN that they called the 1933-34 4 cylinder the Model C. The “they” however did not include the Ford motor company and when you use this reference you will get three reactions. One group of people will think nothing of it and know exactly what you mean. The second group (I am in this group) will know what you mean but accept the fact that the reference was/is commonly used (probably since Ford had the Model A, then the Model B and then much of the public assumed they would have the Model C). The final group will know what you mean but launch into a lecture that the only Model C in Fords domestic production was made in 1903 and it is not correct to refer to etc etc. These people probably also lecture on referring to the number stamped into the frame as a VIN on vehicles built prior to the early fifties, but that is another story. To save time I would recommend not referring to the engine as a Model C. There are a couple of other things different between the Model B and the Model C engines (opps, I meant to say the 1933-33 4 cylinder engines). The later engine had a shorter water pump to allow for the slope of the radiator beginning in 1933. With the shorter water pump came a shorter crankshaft pulley and a redesigned timing cover to move the generator back. The fan was 4 bladed instead of the two blade previously used on the Model A and Model B engines. The flywheel cover was different. The front motor mount was wider. The generator was interchangeable 1928 through 1934 but the correct one for 1933 had aluminum end plates on both ends. Early 1933 had a solid rear end plate while later ones had ventilation holes. You definitely need to get a copy of the club’s book on the 1933-34 Fords. Definitely keep it or restore it as a 4 cylinder. They were produced in lower numbers and many of them were “restored” as V8’s. Today they will attract as much attention as a V8 at the meets. Look to the Model A sites (such as the Model A forum on fordbarn.com) for help on the 4 cylinder engine since they were commonly transplanted into these cars.
