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!)

looking to find out if the 36 flat head would have had C-4 spark plugs in it (22mm plugs) instead of the 18mm Champion #7's, 21 bolt manifold and no markings that i can see

Champion 7 three piece with brass top without the name "FORD" these are 18mm. The C-4 is for the 4-Cyl of 33-34.

I thought that the 18mm plug was correct.
but they are too small for the plug hole on the head on my flathead
My dad bought the coupe in '55 and it has been in the carport and garage since '59 he doesn't recall ever changing the heads, just had water pump issues. (we are 3rd owners of this car)
the spark plug holes measured with my calipers are around 20mm and appear to be fine thread.
Im not sure why these heads have large plug holes, have more heads at dads in NC, but don't want to swap if these were original
Appreciate the help

Are the "heads" you have, on the car, made of aluminum or cast iron? Are there any identifying marks, like a part number? Is there a Ford script on the heads? Can you post a photo of the head installed on the engine? When we think of a "manifold" usually the intake or exhaust comes to mind. Did the car have C-4 plugs installed?

Jones,

The engine you show appears to be a later block than 1936. I could be mistaken but it looks like there are block off plates on it. That would probably make it a 1937 21-stud block. If that is the case, the heads are not original to that block anyway. If you can get plugs that fit, I would just put them in and enjoy the car if the engine runs well.
