    1953 Mercury vent glass seal replacement

    Yeah, I'm more concerned with how to remove the entire assembly. I have the rubber seals for replacement, I just didn't know how to get the whole thing out.

    1953 Mercury vent glass seal replacement

    It's been a while since I've posted, but I sure could use some information right now !!! I've been trying to find info/video on replacing the vent window seals on my '53 Mercury. Lots of info for trucks, etc., but nothing on the car. Has anyone on here worked on this model car window, and if...

    '53 Merc vacuum wiper switch

    I've checked everything I can get to, found a leak and replaced the tubing. I'm thinking it's all original (or near) tubing .... hard as can be and breaks before it bends. LOL I still hear a little hiss when I press the washer button, but my wipers work just fine and I'm gonna leave it alone...

    '53 Merc vacuum wiper switch

    Thank you so much !!!! Both hoses are connected to the switch, but they're old lines. It appears I have a break in one of them ..... and I'll replace them if it ever quits raining here. LOL I wanted to get an idea of what could possibly help before I started pulling things out. I don't...

    '53 Merc vacuum wiper switch

    Is anyone here familiar with the vacuum wiper/washer switch on 1953 Mercurys? My wipers work just fine, but when I push the washer button, I hear a slight hissing sound coming from the switch. My question is this: Is this normal, maybe to break the vacuum to the pump for fluid, or do I have...

    My cables are 00 cable, new .... the coil I installed requires no resistor .... I've check my solenoid with a multimeter and get good readings. The only place I can't (won't) get is under the car to test starter with multimeter. I have to work on it in the driveway, so I ain't gonna squeeze...

    As of now, my battery POS cable goes to the block. I have a ground cable from block to frame on driver's side and from the back of the block to the firewall.

    One of the replies here mentioned getting an 850 CCA battery. I have no idea where to find such an animal around here. As for the battery, a full charge may or may not crank it. It's a craps shoot ... I've cleaned the dash ground etc for the start button (all ground points in engine...

    Out of ideas and knowledge

    I had my old starter tested and it was determined the armature was "fried". I got a new starter (boxed with warranty) from ThirdGen Auto, checked it before climbing under the car !! All cables are new, grounds clean and tight. I checked the solenoid and it showed good. Everything else I've...

    Good analogy. I'll get my multimeter and start climbing around the car. LOL

    Out of ideas and knowledge

    All surfaces are clean and dry. I'll see if I can find a battery around here. My current battery is new, 575 CCA ...... I've been looking for videos about load testing a 6 volt battery. All I can find are 12 volt videos.
