Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.

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!)

Here are the instructions for late 1940 - 1941 oil filter installation.

I didn't see a mention of a restricter fitting in the instructions. It was likely included in the kit. If not, The fitting in the line to return the oil to the pan should soldered shut, and a 1/16 inch hole drilled in the solder. This is a bypass style filter, and if the flow isn't restricted, it will adversely affect the oil pressure to the bearings.

Note the instructions posted above are for 40-41. Its shows the filter return line snaking up to the front of engine where it goes into the engine via a banjo bolt replacing one of the distributor's bolts into the block/sump. Kinda Rube Goldberg-ish. And that line and banjo bolt will be tough to find, is not being reproduced. But you shouldn't need to do that. Your 46 oil pan should have a fitting on it to receive the filter return line, which will make that part of plumbing the filter much easier.

Here is an excerpt from a previous discussion on how to run the oil filter return line. This was posted by Mike Kubarth, the club's adviser on the 1940 model:
"...........All oil pans, 1941 - 1948 had a return fitting integral of the oil pan. 1941 pans had a fitting near the left - front of the pan. 1942 - 48 had the fitting integral of the dip stick tube boss.
If you have the later pan in your '40, I'd suggest you take advantage of that pan fitting."

Be 100% certain you heed Super's advice in regard to restrictive fitting. It MUST be there or you WILL lose oil pressure. Originally it was integral of the pressure side. However, I suppose it really wouldn't matter which side it was placed as long as it is present.
