My Mercury Reference book says my 41 should hold 5 quarts. Oil was near low end of dipstick mark last night, so I decided to pick up some 10W30 today and start fresh with new oil. I had never changed it but does not get many miles. Only ran long enough to back it out of the garage so it was...

I installed four new tires on the 41 Mercury today. Nice whitewalls from Coker, look pretty sharp. Glad I spent the extra money for whitewalls, even though the car probably ran with blackwalls thru the war. Lots of work but I got it done. I did not see any balance weights. But always...

The ground cable on the 49 had multiple issues so I was going for upgrade, Pulled the head bolt and got a geyser of coolant. Not as simple a swap as I thought. Tightened her back up for now. I hate to ground to head bolt. But the old 6V starter needs the best chance it can get. Thought...
