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!)

Well, yes, there are two different filters for 1940. However, to clarify, there is one style for the 85 and 95 HP engine and another style for the 60HP engine.

There are two very different oil filters for the 40 Ford. AC and Fram both use different flex lines

I'll look later today or tomorrow to see if I have any of those fittings for you.
The restrictor fitting can be made easy enough y soldering the correct appearing fitting and drilling a .060" hole.
Stay tuned

Whenever I have to replace something on my 1940 Fordor Deluxe, I am trying to get it closer to stock/original.

It is time to replace my oil filter lines. The ones I have on the car are well over 20 years old and, I now know are not correct. I had these made at Hose-Man at the time and they have worked well all this time.

I am looking for the specific brass fittings as outlined in Mike Kubarth's book "It's Ford for Forty" including the one for the bottom/center of the filter/canister, and the one that threads into the block by the oil pressure sensor. Both of these have specific angles, according to the book.

I didn't have any original hoses to work from back then-I finally found a set a week ago (the high pressure hose is actually about 4" too short, so I am thinking it might be a later one from when Ford moved the filter aft). These old hoses are, of course, far too old to use.

I am hoping that I can have Hose-Man make up a new set that is closer to stock/original than what I have now.

I do not know the thread sizes for any of these-that would be nice to know as well.

I am also looking for the flow restrictor (which I think is .060". I don't know if it is integral with the end of the high pressure hose that connects to the fitting on the engine block, or a separate piece.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.
