  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:

    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!)

The popular transmission used on Ford passenger cars up to 1939 and light pickup trucks up to 1952 is seen here in its variations. Identifying features are now pointed out so you know what to look for. The following links will take you to more specific web pages on those features:

There are many misconceptions floating around about the early three speed transmissions. The design was successfully used for many years in Ford passenger cars and light trucks. It worked well, and was improved upon by Ford as the years went by. The common complaint heard in the 1950's and today was that the gearbox would not hold up to use behind a built-up motor in racing conditions. In fact, that was pretty much the case. If the driver was running 175hp and more, and competing in racing conditions, he might blow the case apart, or break the gears. New gears or scrap yard transmissions were inexpensive enough, so the solution was to fix 'er up and race again. Side-stepping the clutch to burn out the tires with a hot rod motor was a risky driving pattern that would aggravate the situation.

Fast forward to today and you find a much different situation. Racing continues of course, but for the most part, people are building state-of-the-art motors and chassis with the combination of motor and transmission to handle the severe conditions. Today's hot rod builder might use a Chev small block V8 with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission, or even a T5 five speed manual transmission. However, the resurgence of hotrod restoration is pushing the demand for good three speed toploader transmissions, just like they ran back in the day. Combined with a nice flathead V8, and the old Ford banjo type rear end, you have the 'right' combination of parts to reflect the way it was. Plus, you were using all-Ford parts that would easily bolt together without major modifications. It might seem easy to drop an automatic transmission in that car or truck, and for some people, it needs to be that way for physical drivability. But, for those who do not want to hack up a good chassis, and prefer the experience of driving that car just like Dad or Grandpa did, the right answer is to use the original type Ford three speed transmission. Properly rebuilt with close tolerances, these transmissions will shift nicely and handle most power applications without complaint.

Of course, the early (1932-38) three speed transmissions were not synchronized into first or reverse gear. They did have the 2nd and High synchronizer for a more modern kind of shifting. The 1939 and later synchronizer design allowed for improved shifting, which is what the early racers and hot rodders wanted. That is not to say that a stock, restored, original Ford car running a 1932-38 transmission would not enjoy his driving experience.
