Thank you for the response ; very helpful .

I am looking to upgrade my original 1954 distributor . What are the possible replacements (if any) ?

Both front drums were changed which was previously mentioned as a potential issue ; I will investigate .

Great advice by all who responded ! Thank you !

My 1954 Ford Victoria (Fordomatic) is giving me fits ; it has begun to vibrate at 40 MPH and it gets worse as the speed increases . So far I have had all four wheels / tires spin balanced all to no avail . What else might be going on ; any advise would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks for the response ; I will sleep better tonight !

Due to the fact I can't locate a decent drum/hub which are attached on 54 Fords , is there an issue with separation of the two and installing the best of each from my stash?

Thanks; I appreciate the replies !

How many turns out should you adjust an original 54 carburetor ?

I am looking for a fordomatic transmission pan (small case). Please PM me if you have one for sale .

sorry ; that's what happens when you send somebody else to measure and I should know that the number was circumference not diameter . Thanks for the part number.

The diameter of the reservoir is 16 inches ; I replaced the pump with a rebuilt from Concours Parts. i identified the setup as 55/56 due to the fact that the pressure hose goes to the pump and the return hose goes to the reservoir as opposed to both going to the pump like a 54 and early 55 .

I am searching for a power steering reservoir cover ( also called a lid ) for my 1954 Victoria . To complicate things , someone installed a 1955 complete setup at one time . Due to availability , will 1955 Thunderbird parts fit ?

Drum only ; I have seen them together (Concours Parts had a pair for sale a while back but I was a little slow on the draw ).

The Mustang plan was on the table until I located a NOS drum as well as a machine shop that turns what I already had .
