Sold

Thanks for the all the replies. I will pull the pan and check it out.

I recently acquired a Mercury flathead and would like to know the year and specs. Here are the numbers/letters so far: Head: F L EAC C 18 3 Mercury 12 Top of rear of block: 24 39 x : 4 Intake: 8 B A 8 R T 6520 Rear intake top of right side of block: 3 C

Nice car.

You might want to check our Lares Corp. They rebuild steering boxes.

Harbor Freight also sells ammo cans.

My suggestion is to swap out the carb with the other one you have. That way you’ll know if your original thought of replacing the fuel pump is warranted.

The transmission on my 50’s Mercury is a side loader (column shift). The trans appears short. How can you identify a transmission with an overdrive?

Keep us updated. I’m sure I’ll have a similar problem in the future!

How old is your battery? It may be part of the reason/solution.

Mikko, Good looking 53. Actually, that year Ford was the first Ford I ever rode in. A few years later my family bought a 57 convertible with a 312 automatic and a Town and Country radio.

I have a Miller mig. So far no real reason to buy a Tig. I too am having trouble seeing out of my HF helmet. Any suggestions on what to buy?
