Did you end up using this carb? What were the results? We’re playing around with one now on a mystery 239

Does anyone know how to remove the glove box lock/latch? Do you need to remove the dash panel? I can’t seem to find anything about it in the manual

Does anyone have any shoebox convertible spotlight mounts?

I got ahold of a pair of unitys last year and was told they came off an early 50’s ford but the mounts are way off, just got ahold of what I thought was the ford licensed/dealer sold spotlight with the grille nose design, I’m not sure what the car had on it before

Do the convertibles need a specific mount for spot lights? Mine has holes left over from a spot light and I got a 49-50 spot light and it doesn’t line up quite right (I’m not sure if mine had an aftermarket or ford spotlight before it went missing) I’ve seen some different listings for mounts...

It looks like it was meant more for the cast iron covers without the lower support I got it in mine last year by taking the flapper to the inside of the cover where the stock distributer doesn’t touch The reason I’m trying to get it in this other car is because I’ve been chasing ignition...

What was used for the shoebox convertibles? was it leather or vinyl for the seats? what were the colour options? the car im getting is the dark metallic maroon on the outside, upholstery is long rotted away Since macs has been bought out and cartouche is long gone is there anyone else making...

It's a canadian car, 51 meteor

did they not have signal lights going to the rear from the factory in 51?

Here’s some pics

It's not the tail light housings I'm looking for its the separate signal light housing that mount lower just above the bumper, 51 was the first year for factory installed signal lights, i have single stop/tail light and two signal lights down below which are mis-matched

Does anyone have any examples of 51 wagon/woodie signal lights? most pictures i find online guys have put a passenger side tail light on, the lower signal lights my wagon has are mismatched and im not sure if either are original

Do you have a straight Center piece? Mines pretty mangled

Yeah, I was planning reinforcing the frame back there, it’s all bent and needs to be welded back
