Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I’m having a couple of issues with this old Ford today. First of all the passenger side rear wheel is stuck. I jacked up the rear of the car and the drivers side wheel will turn but not the other side. What’s my best plan of action?? Also, the last time I started the car it started just fine. Today I try to start it and the starter is not doing anything. The cable on the starter is getting warm so I’m sure that it’s getting power. Thoughts??

When you jacked up the rear of the car did you get both rear wheels off of the ground? If you did, you should be able to rotate both wheels by hand. If you can't, the brakes on the wheel that is locked up may be stuck or rusted to the drum. If you are sure the handbrake is fully released and the wheel still won't turn, back off the brake adjustments to see if you can free up the wheel.

If when you go to start the car nothing happens except for the starter cable getting warm, the starter gear is probably stuck to the flywheel ring gear. Sometimes this is caused by loose starter mounting bolts which allow the starter to get cocked and be out of alignment with the flywheel. You might be able to rock the car backward with the transmission in a forward gear to free the starter gear from the ring gear. Once it breaks loose, you should hear a loud noise and you will subsequently be able to start the car.

From what I can tell, I have backed both adjustments all the way back and still no movement. I’m guessing that somebody added juice breaks at some point to this car. (Not sure if that info helps) I have not tried just pulling the car yet as I was afraid that I might break something.

I recently wanted to remove the rear brake drums on my 1937 that has sat for many years and one was rusted so that it would not move. I was able to loosen it up by tapping on the drum lightly with a hammer and prying the drum back and forth to break up the rust bond.
