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:

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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

I tried contacting Skip and I got no reply I was wondering if there was a problem or if he was still in business
Have a water pump problem
For years now I had a shaking in the car I thought it was flat spots in the tires and I did a little checkering it seems like the left side water pump is wobbling and it’s not that old is actually vibrates the car especially above 40
I think this was happening. For a few years but could not put my finger on it
It got much worst this year
So I am not going to use it for the season
I am Afraid that something will happen
Were is the best place to find replacements
I was thinking SPEEDWAY
any other Recommendations
Thanks regards

I bought a pair of water pumps for my '53 Ford V-8 from Dennis Carpenter several years ago and put 15K miles on them with no problems.

You can look at the ones for your car here.

Got the pumps for my "46, 59AB at DC as well, and lots of miles on them over the last seven years. I noticed that the cast housing, in the area of the mounting bolt holes, was a little rough, so I spot faced those areas with an end mill bit in my drill press. I run 180 stats with 50/50 coolant, and the temp will sometimes go to 185 if I'm moving in slow traffic.

For a replacement water pump, try Speedway Motors, RockAuto, or Summit Racing. Also, check local auto parts stores or classic car specialty shops. Join classic car forums for advice and recommendations. Avoid driving until the issue is fixed to prevent further damage.

Try to contact Skip in the morning or eve. He stands behind his work. I have never seen a water pump wobble. Is the pulley and shaft loose?

Try "Skip" Haney @ 941-505-9085. I have two of his coils still running strong after 20 years.
I also have about 10 good water pumps 1933=1936 and one that leaks. Was saving them to send to
Skip, but now I'll sell them all. (At least 8)
