    52 Mercury Flathead runs rough.

    I will try to get a photo of the carburator asap. Unfortunatley, the carburator was mounted in reverse, and trying to take a picture with the way it was mounted was fruitless. I will also take a photo of the distributor. Thanks again for the replies.

    52 Mercury Flathead runs rough.

    The car is new purchase for me. How can I tell if the distriubutor is a Loadomatic? Does anyone make an aftermarket ready to run distributor? I will get the information off of the carburator, but I have to remove it first, as the carburator was installed backwards. Thanks again guys.

    52 Mercury Flathead runs rough.

    I truly appreciate the response. My car is still a 6 volt. Question: If I have a sticking or stuck valve would that show up on a compression check? Also, how and where do I check the vacuum, and what should it be?

    Vibration

    To respond to some of the questions, the vibration starts at 35mph and goes away at 45mph, whether or not the clutch in, and it happens on acceleration and deceleration.
