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 have been considering maybe to install my oil filter system back on.I removed years ago because one of the lines was leaking.I was just curious if anyone reproduces these lines now?Also I was thinking if I re-install I feel my oil pressure will drop some,its not that great now.

The lines are not reproduced. Also, I'd be very apprehensive to utilize any NOS lines. If you are not concerned with point judging, any hydraulic hose service in your area can make the lines quite reasonably. Bring your old ones so they can match them.

If you place a restrictor fitting in the supply side line, you will not lose any oil pressure. The restrictor should be .060".

I have a similar situation with my car. The oil filter lines are originals and they look like they could burst at any moment and I need to replace them. Where was the restrictor located with the original setup? I have not removed the lines yet to see what type of fittings are on them. Chysler products used steel line for the oil filter plumbing. Would there be a problem with using steel line?

C&G offers an Oil Filter Line Set for 1941-46 Ford V-8s. These are hard steel lines that can possibly be modified to fit your application. While not correct for concourse competitions they can provide a workable solution to your problem. If you no longer have the original fitting that goes on the inlet to your oil filter cannister which contains the .060 restrictor, you will have to fabricate one.

My oil filter is plumbed with pipe fittings and it doesn't look like there is a restrictor threaded to the housing on the outside. Would the restrictor be located between the inlet hose and the housing? The inlet is attached to the side of the housing and the outlet comes out the bottom. Is this correct?

The restrictor would be in the fitting (base P.N. 6073) located between the inlet line and the oil filter cannister. You are correct, the inlet line runs from the back of the engine to the side of the filter housing. The outlet line is attached to the bottom of the housing.

From the outfield .... my '47 apparently never had an oil filter. There are no connection points/fittings or perhaps someone removed them (?). Regardless, I change the oil at no more than every 1,000 miles using a 10w30 HD (high detergent) oil which I believe is a better quality than available in those times. At that point it still looks pretty good with little or no sediment so I don't plan to add a filter set up.

DrBrown,
What you are doing by using SAE 10w-30 HD oil sounds good if you have no oil leaks and burn no oil. If the oil you are using has an API Service of SM or higher (SN,SO,SP, are higher) then the zinc additive package has been removed. You will want to put this additive package into your oil to minimize the wear between the camshaft lobes and the bottom surfaces of the tappets. The required additive package of ZDDP, phosphorus, zinc and sulphur is contained in a Red Line product called "Engine Oil Break-in Additive". Just add the amount of this product called out on the label each time you change your oil. I would use an SAE 30 HD oil in my flatheads to cut down on leaks. Since I live in a climate where the temperature rarely drops below freezing, I don't need to use multigrade oils.
