Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

What colour is the short round steel cover that houses the starter bendix on the aluminum oil pans? Is the throw out bearing cover on the transmission case also painted Ford engine green? I could not find these covered in David Rehor,s judging standards book.

Indirectly, you first question is answered in thee book by the photo on page 6-8 which can be interpreted as argent paint. Many of the originals that I have encountered were unpainted, however. The stamped cover for the clutch inspectition hole in the transmission bell housing follows the general rule, namely that stampings were painted gloss black.

My book ( blue, 2nd printing,Sept. 2005 ) has no pics on pages 6 to 8. The only comments say the oil pan is unfinished aluminum. If the round steel cover is to be unfinished, then I suggest a cast iron replica paint. What is argent paint? Thanks, i,ll paint the trans cover black but leave the grease cup natural.

You have a badly outdated book, which in itself is an overstatement. Why not step up to its 620 two-volume replacement available on this website? I wrote both what you have and its replacement.

Cast iron paint on stamped steel? I don't think so. Oxford, Webster's, and even Google all agree that argent is silver.

Here's that Ford archives photo from the two-volume book that I was referring to.

David, wow a pic is worth 1,000 words! The argent silver almost matchs the aluminum. I never thought to Google argent.When I bought your book I did not know it was obsolete! Now you know why I have been asking so many questions.as always, thanks, Norm

Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost. It's a pretty big step following that modest first effort that you have.

When you've gone through the text, there are three addendums on this website under Ford Information in the left side column that are important additions to the text.
