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!)

The pump should come off and gone through thourally probably a worn linkage problem OMO ken ct. Glass bowl pump is incorrect for a 40 but should work ok anyhow if it is a correct 47-48 pump. Their are 4 diff glass bowl pumps used on fords from 47-53 !

Some of the Aitex pumps are noisy. There is nothing wrong with the pump,it just makes noise. If you are bothered by the noise, try replacing it with an Offenhauser pump from Speedway Motors or buy a rebuilt original 1940 pump.

Depends where the replaced pump came from . Most brand new pumps sold today come from crummy China. Buy a rebuilt in USA "AC" pump. Correct all metal pumps for late 36 to 40 are $150 outrite plus ship. Close but not quite correct ones are $80 plus ship.outrite, these are including core chg. Phone me if you want more info !. 1-203-260-5945 cell. ken ct.

If you decide to go the "authentic" route be careful who you purchase from. I'd suggest Charlie Schwindler. He KNOWS what he his doing and is quite ethical and fair.
Also, unlike others who advertise here, he doesn't simply paint the pumps and call them "show correct". He actually plates them so they ARE show correct.
Plus, Charlie tests his pumps prior to shipping. I know, I know - what a concept huh?
The other guy does not test them. And, from my personal experience three out of five of his were trash.

Hey Ken, I did not mention your name and find it peculiar that you were so quick to respond to my post.
Perhaps you'd like me to find the posts on the FordBarn wherein a number of folks chimed in about your work?

All I did in my previous post is point a guy in a good direction to get quality work done.
My advice? Give it a rest
