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:

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!)

Mike see attached photo the 41 Ford heater has the defrost valve knob on the left top corner of the heater cabinet like 39 & 40 heaters. The second photo shows heater switch bracket the 41 bracket uses just the switch and the 42 - 48 has room for the switch and the defrost cable. The defrost cable attaches to the defrost valve at the back of the 42 - 48 Ford heater.

What's the difference between a 41 and a 42 - 48 heater?

Hello Mr. Mike,i
Thank you for the lesson on heaters. I'm encouraged about installing it in my '40, but I won't admit to doing it. If you ask me directly, I'd probably lie to you for fear of ruining your day. I'm somewhat of purist. I believe my Ford looks totally factory; however, it does have an electric fuel pump. Ooops - it also has electric motor driven wipers.
Thanks, again, Sir Mike. You're the best.
Barney

I have seen MANY of the later heaters installed in '40 passenger cars. You know I'm a purist at heart, so each makes me cringe a bit.
The '41 - '48 heaters are much more common than a '40 heater and as such much less valuable. No doubt the reason so many have been installed in '40 Fords.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply, Mr. Mike, although it's not what I wanted to hear. I'm guessing I would be wasting time attempting to make it fit. I'm not opposed to performing a bit of retrofitting.
Regards
Barney

Hello from Barney
Speaking of water heaters, could I ask you fine folks if you agree the pics are of a '40 heater? I bought this via our classified ads a couple years ago from, I believe, a club member. It may be for a '40, but it doesn't seem to fit in any of the positions in which I place it. Maybe I just didn't get serious enough. Any thoughts of what year(s) it fits?
Thank you
Barney
