FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

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:

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!)

Oh....when I first started diagnosing my die-out problem....I never found any gunk on the screen or in the fuel pump sediment bowl. No junk in the carb either other than normal wear and tear.

Tim,

The easiest place to install a fuel filter is between the tank line and the fuel pump, replacing the flex line.

That said, if you don't have a problem with junk in the tank, you probably don't need a fuel filter. Modern cars need them to prevent the small passages from being blocked. The fuel pump sediment bowl and screen will catch all the particles that could cause a problem.

We install a generic inline fuel filter as close to the tank as possible, and before an inline electric pump, if you have one. While we prefer the Fram-type metal cased filter, to protect against road damage, the plastic ones work as well. You never know when a gas station has run their storage tank low and presented you with crud from the bottom. Most stations have to pay upon delivery of fuel, so at today's prices, that can be a lot of cash. They run storage down as far as possible. The screen and sediment bowl will catch some, but not as much as an inline filter. If your line from the tank to the carb is already rusty and dirty, it doesn't take much to create a stall. I carry a spare filter in my road kit.
