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 all-. Recently had fuel tank removed and cleaned along with lines flushed, sediment bowl cleaned and carb rebuilt BUT the fuel pump was not cleaned. My concern since there is some hesitation at times there might be some debris in the fuel pump. I would like to remove the top of the fuel pump, inspect and clean as needed.
I would like to have a fuel pump rebuild kit on hand to replace parts as needed but don't know the brand or manufacture. This is where I need the experts to jump in!
There was not a strainer in the sediment bowl...should there be one?
The engine is a 1946 Ford 59 a-b flathead.
Thanks all for your time and expertise!

That is an aftermarket FP and NOT correct for 46. Glass bowl pumps did not come out till 1947. I have a completely correct 46 pump that's restored to like new for $ 50 plus $12 shipping or a one like you have for $ 60 has filter in glass bowl and $ 14 shipping. (requires larger box). Ive been doing these pumps for 30 yrs now. They have super USA made diaphrams and NOS valves. ken Isidor 55 woodland park Shelton Ct. 06484 1-203-260-9780 cell.

Ken, I may be wrong but I believe the late ‘46 built cars came with glass bowels. At least that was what I understood from the research I did. By the way, the rebuild kit I bought for my pump from you was perfect, and still working well. Also thanks for the good quality ignition parts.

Ken is "mostly" correct in that glass bowl pumps were not introduced until very late in the 1946 model year. How late? I do not know the exact date.

I'd suggest getting a pump from Charlie Schwendler in New York. He does wonderful work, is fair priced and actually tests every unit prior to shipping.

You should have a screen or better yet a filter in the sediment bowl.

Usually, if there is debris in the fuel pump, it would show up in the sediment bowl. Kits for your fuel pump are available from C & G Ford parts, Macs Ford parts and most of the other vendors that supply parts for our cars. You could also see if the have a new fuel pump, if you are sure that the problem is fuel pump related.

When does this hesitation occur? How long of a period is the hesitation, several seconds or almost a minute.

Do you have the stock 46 Ford ignition system?

Parko ? compare Mac's price to mine. Macs Kit- $64.49 Filter unit $ 13.99 Shipping At least $ 15.00 Add it up = $ 93.48 Mine $74 > I don't charge for the filter unit I install in GB pumps. Do what ever you must do. ken ct.And possibly your pump cannot be rebuilt depending who made it. The valves must be removeable some are NOT. ken ct.
