Wow!!! This was fanastic! I can't wait until moving season is over so I can re-rebuild my carb. I wished I had found this about 6 months ago when I bebuilt my carb on my '49 8N.

I'm also going to rebuild my governor using your your handy work.

Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.

Wow! Another very fine, and beneficial piece of work, Don. Thanks very much for sharing it, and your piece on the carb overhaul. I've added both to my personal 8N user manual. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and your willingness to share.

Regards..... ..... Ed

Don: I believe you have stumbled on something here, and for those of us who depend on this site to know and learn about our N's this second edition of your rebuild series is just great.

As usual, I can ramble on, but I firmly believe that this needs to be assembled into a Maintenenance/chronicle section on this site or other easily found Ford N site.

Now, I'll probalby be chastised a bit, or laughed at for this next comment; but it doesn't matter. Seriously consider assembling these chronicles in to a book or monograph type of publication. I'm not sure about your attititude but I think you want to keep it "fun", but I'll tellya, your chronicles take the I&T one step further but with more detailed explanations and photos for these necessary and basic maintenance items.

Well, it's just my opinion, and when I read this later today, I'll probably say: "what was I thinking!?" But, I have had the same reaction to this and your carb overhaul chronicle. Ya done good (again). -9N'er

Don - Your overhaul instructions are great, and I thank you very much for your effort. The time I just spent reading through the governor overhaul package was the most useful time I've spent on the Internet so far! Thanks again, Alan

Don what a wonderful job you've done on your overhaul pages. I've been suspecting problems with the governor on my Jubilee, and even though the governors are not the same, I believe there are enough similarities that I will at least know what to look for when I take it apart. Thanks

Don, that is another very fine and useful piece of work. Always nice to see the real wear situations in real color as opposed to repair books that people are accustomed to. Your efforts are appreciated!

Don,
Absolutely terrific. I am very mechanically inclined, but most of my work has been house re-modeling and woodworking. My 8N is my first experience in the automotive/mechanical arena. Your site has alreay paid off. I had to rebuild my carburetor. Guess what? I had some parts left over that I didn't know where they went. Am going to tear into it again finish the job properly.

Couple of "curious" questions as I am a systems analyst.
1. What type of camera did you use?
2. How did you get the text on your photographs (utility?)?
3. What HTML tool did you use to put it all together?

Answer the questions only if you want to. I wouldn't mind if you considered the information proprietary.

Again...thanks for doing such a terrific job..and...can't wait for your next "posting".
Terry
