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!)

I have a carb off a 49 flathead truck engine with a metal tag stamped AUTOLITE 8 RT 9510 F
Did Autolite ever build a carb for Ford? I have never heard anyone on the Forum mention an Autolite carb.
Thanks

Bill: Carbs for Fords were made by lots of manufacturers for outlets such as Western Auto, Warshawsky, and others. Most were accurate duplicates of the "real" units, unless they claimed to be "new and improved". Today, not all parts on the market for newer cars match the originals, and are often inferior quality to cut the price. We usually get critical parts from the dealer, instead to be sure.

Thanks Supereal - I am glad to know that.
Mine has - on the choke side of the bowl,- a square lightly cast into it, with the Ford logo, and USA.
Methinks it did not come from Henry's factory.
The more I work on my car, the more I learn about it - and if I were to shopping for the same year and model tomorrow - I would be much more knowledgeable. The old car hobby can be very frustrating -goes with the territory. It can also provide many hours of enjoyment.

Bill: Learning about your car is a lot of what the Club is about. Years ago, when I started restorations, there was a very limited number of sources and advice for the hobbyist. Thanks to the Club, and places such as the Forum, help is plentiful and close. As my Dad used to say "no one lives long enough to make all the mistakes".
