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.

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!)

Hello Harry.

The low-pressure Airtex E8902 installed on our '36 Ford works just fine. It is controlled by an on/off toggle switch under the dashboard.

Mounting it on the side of the chassis close to the gas tank is important, in my opinion.

The pump is protected with a cover plate made from a bread pan filched from my wife's pantry ........ can post a photo if that would help you.

Put the toggle switch on the lower edge of the dash, driver's door side. Mount it so forward is on, back is off; Just like your brake pedal and gas pedal. Makes it easy to remember which is which! P.S. never have needed it; I just put one in the system in case I ever got so called " vapor lock", which after driving (2) 1950 v8's for thousands of miles( (one when I was 18 years old) I never got, and never heard of, until I joined the club about 8 years ago!! Is it a "Fairy Tale?" It is to me.

if you use a electric pump,
I would use a push button switch, so it shuts off when done priming ,
or wire it in so it goes off when engine starts.,
or if you are going to use as a main pump make it goes off when engine is shut off, for SAFETY SAKE,
I do not use one,
I would rather crank the engine to build up oil pressure, and not start the engine dry after sitting for
long periods of time,
hope this helps. 37RAGTOPMAN

I was planning on adding a fuel pump with a toggle switch to my 36 Coupe. Any recommendation on the toggle switch and where did you install it on the dash? Would love to see a picture of where it is installed. Thanks.

One source for a 6 Volt fuel pump that provides 2.0 to 2.5 PSI fuel pressure is Fifth Avenue Antique Auto Parts. This pump which includes a 30 micron filter can be wired up for either positive or negative ground. For more information or to order a pump, contact Randy Rundle at 785-632-3450.

I installed a 6 volt Airtex E8902 on my '46 coupe in 2018, which I bought from Rockauto for $32.00. I only use it for "priming' after the car has sat for a number of days. It works well for me, has the right pressure, and is a "flow through" design, which allows the engine fuel pump to provide flow to the carb when the engine is running. I also used the metal fuel filter with threaded connection to the inlet of the pump.

Ron is correct. You might try Amazon also. They usually trend at around $30. Good luck, Pat
