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.

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!)

If the code is really 11A-70C, that is a rare car because it is a Special Tudor and not many survive in their original form. If it is like the Special Coupe, it will have red trim on the sides instead of stainless and just one tail light. My copy of the V8 Album lists the Coupe, but doesn't show a count of how many were produced. A friend in Ventura used to own one. He sold it to another friend in San Marino. I don't know where it is now, but here is a picture:

That's deff the wrong code then. No red trim. I should know more tomorrow now not today as planned, but hopefully I can get it nailed down soon, again thanks for all the help so far. Another thing... I'm guessing this will be on a 6v system how difficult is the conversion for these.??

I would see no need to go to 12 volts if that is a nice original car. A good 6volt system with good (or new) wiring and clean grounds will work just fine for you. I'm using a 6 volt Optima battery in my '40 coupe and it spins the motor over just fine.

6 volts will work fine for all normal driving. Make sure that all connectors are clean and seated and you will be alright. Both my 1940 Mercury and 1953 Lincoln are 6 volts with Optima batteries. They start and run fine and the lights are OK, but not as good as the ones on my modern cars.
