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.

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!)

There was a discussion some time ago about the left side cast iron exhaust manifold that was originally made for Ford by Douglass manufacturing, for the police engines in the '49 to '53 Fords, that converted them to dual exhaust. This manifold is currently being re-produced by Pat Rooney in Ohio.

Pat Rooney is no longer producing these. Does anyone know where one of these manifolds might be available?

If you can't find the Ford driver's side exhaust manifold, you might want to consider using a set of Fenton Cast Iron Headers.

Speedway Motors offers these headers.

I do have a set of Fenton headers on the car now with Brockman Mellow Tones. I just never cared for how low the exhaust sits underneath the car with this setup. Plan is to purchase a Waldron dual exhaust system which they can make for either a front exit LS manifold or rear exit. The rear exit looks better and is more efficient.

Attached below are three photos of a driver's side dual exhaust manifold made many years ago to fit 1949, 1950 and 1951 Fords.

Information on the internet confirms that some of these were definitely produced by Douglass. There are apparently versions which have the word "Alhambra" on the casting.

Ours says "Los Angeles California". Does anyone know if it is one of the conversion manifolds made by Douglass?

If not a Douglass product, who would the manufacturer have been?

Perhaps Almquist? Or maybe Newhouse?

I have recently acquired one with the letters ASP in the left underside of the casting and no other markings. Curious about its origins as well.
