did a lot more research and decided to go with the Weber 32/36. I've heard good things about this carb.

Is the Holley 1960 a good carb for my OHV 6 215 ci motor?

Pump and filter and everything is still stock setup. I didn't change anything. Been reading about 1904 being a temperamental carb with consistent flooding issues throughout the years. I've rebuilt the carb once and also disassembled it three times to make sure it was clean all with the same...

I've got a '53 Customline with the OHV 6 215ci motor running a stock Holley 1904 carb. I've had flooding issues with this carb continuously for a while. Looking to change it out for something else. Did a bit of research and curious to know if anyone knows what carb would work best with my...

Does anyone even have any leads on where I can find this piece of trim?? Any info at all??

No special tools, it was actually easier than I had read. Just jacked it up removed the bolts, pop the old springs out, put new springs in and bolt it back up. And if you don't like the drop height just wait til you drive it around for a bit. Once the springs settled after about a week I had...

I have a 53 Customline. I went the 1990 Aerostar coil route and it gave me about 2 to 2 1/2 inches of drop. Very easy to install and very inexpensive, $60 or so from www.rockauto.com

I also have not had any trouble with Mac's. Actually been pretty pleased with everything I've ordered from them. Sorry about your bad experience but it seems to be an isolated incident and not the norm from them.

Looking for the trim moulding spear for the driver's side rear quarter panel of my '53 2-door Customline. I have all the original trim on the car, but I'm missing this single piece. Can anyone help? Been looking online and haven't had a shred of luck... Here's a pic of the rear quarter...

Try Mac's Antique Auto Parts. I have a 53 Customline and I've been able to find almost everything I need from them. http://macsautoparts.com/1949-1959-ford-mercury-passenger-car-parts/camid/F50/ca/146/

Was rewiring my 53 Customline and had to remove the back seat. not much but did find a US Navy medal commemorating 2 cruises overseas. Also found a Vicente Fernandez CD in the aftermarket stereo the previous owner installed.

I just completed a total rewire on my 53 Customline using a 12 circuit kit from EZ Wiring. It was pretty easy and headache free since all wires are different colors and labeled every 5 inches as to where it should go.

Cool. Thanks man, that's what I wanted to hear!

My 53 has undercoating as well. I just assumed the previous owner had it done, but after reading this thread maybe not.

My 53 Customline headlight switch is going bad. The motor is a OH6 which has been converted to a 12V generator. the only switch I can find anywhere is a 6V switch: http://macsautoparts.com/1949-59-ford-mercury-headlight-switch-6-volt-ford-mercury-faa-11654-a/camid/F50/cp/JS0R3CHL1083929/ Will...
