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!)

Hi ,
I was told not to use the cheap plastic type because they can melt and could cause a fire. use a metal one.

Thank you

If you feel the need for an inline filter because of your particular situation,I would go for the NAPA #3031, available over the counter.The disadvantage though,it is all metal and if you had a fuel problem you would have to disconnect it to check if it was the part clogged, but I feel it is safer than plastic.

The screen in your fuel pump is all the filter that you need.

Any recommendations for what off the shelf inline filter to buy? I see a few offered from Mac's. One is plastic with a paper type screen that doesn't look that great. How about others?

This is how it was when I bought the rig back in 10/17. I am in the process of eliminating the "Gerry Rigged" stuff as I find it. I recently ordered a OEM flex line from firewall to pump and OEM hard line from pump to carb. Hopefully whoever put that bottomed out fitting in the pump didn't damage the threads or the seat in the pump!
Thanks for the help!!

A big no on Teflon tape or silicone sealer.

That is not a correct pump for a 37 in the firstplace.Thats 41-46 pump. Another thing the gas line fittings look like their bottomed out against the body and will not seal,also get rid of what I think looks like Teflon tape on one of the connections,never use it on gasoline fittings. ken ct. email or cell 1-203-260-9780 // I can explain better on phone.

If you want your car point judged, get the correct 1936-1940 fuel pump. If your car is going to be shown in Touring class, either the current pump or one with a glass bowl would work. In either case, I would replace the line coming into the fuel pump with the correct line.

Your pump has a sediment bowl, just remove the top cover to see the contents. Before you do this, order a couple of gaskets from Ken CT.

Yes that would be the way to go with a glass bowl pump, would not be correct for 37 but would solve your problems. I think I have 1 left in stock @ $50 plus $10 shipping. I am retired from rebuilding them but think I have 1 in stock. All USA made parts. Not like the cheap junk coming in from China as new pumps. ken ct.

Tom O,
All good points well taken!
I only use pure gasoline in my "37 so thankfully Ethanol is not an issue for me. I have a gas station near by that has Ethanol free gas 24/7-365 in both 87 & 92 octane (I use 87)
My '37 fuel pump does not have a sediment bowl so I have no visual of the gas itself or any sediments that might be present.
If/when in the future I replace the fuel pump can I..., should I replace it with a pump w/sediment bowl?
Thank you for your help!
