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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

Steve, You have three threads going on this same question. In the future, DO NOT create multiple threads on the same question. FIND the thread you created and post to that thread only.

Go to Forum on the main home page.
Click on New 1940 Ford Book.
On that page, you will see the 3 different threads you've created, all on this subject. You will also see that each of these 3 threads has multiple pages, (at this time, 2 each). I believe that part of the confusion is that you may not have realized or seen the 2nd pages of those threads. You have had good source answers from 42merc, kubes40, TomO, and Shogun1940 on two of those threads. The particular post from Kube that you now question was made on 9-6-2016 @ 3:12 PM. to one of those 3 threads.

I strongly suggest that if the above information is still unclear to you, bring in a friend to help you with the computer. We're none of us getting any younger, and these newfangled things confuse most of us!

Steve, I have to agree with Alan. It appears that you do not read the answers to your posts and then ask the question again in a new post.

Please read all of the answers to your questions and if you do not understand them, ask for clarification of the points that you do not understand.

We are willing to help you with your questions, but you have to pay attention to the answers. If you continue to ignore answers, people will stop providing them.

5 foot pieces won't do. I'd have to coonnect a few with rubber hose.(More connections, more places to leak)

But thanks for the tip about speed shops! I'll look in my speed shop catalogs.

Steve,
Your question(s) was / were answered by me quite promptly on a separate but SIMILAR thread. Is it possible you are not accessing page #2 on the more lengthy threads?

I do tend to agree with others in that it gets a bit confusing and actually quite cumbersome when more than one SIMILAR thread is started.
There are a number of guys on this forum that know their stuff and are willing to share that knowledge with others willing to learn.
As far as the "ugliness" that has recently exposed itself, I for one, plan on backing away.
I believe in keeping things civil and in doing so learning from one another.

Your right. and I thank you!

I, FINALLY, after quite a bit ofsearching, found a place that had it in 25' coils in (4) different sizes: 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 at a reasonable cost of $15.89 for the roll, plus shipping.

Neither Summit, Jegs, nor Speedway carry it in those long coils.

Regards, Steve Lee
