II have this "Hi" side horn off of my 1959 Mercury Monterey that will not sound. Through troubleshooting i see the 'coiled wire' (not sure what this element is called) is broken. I was hoping somebody would know the specs on this component so I can rewrie bypass the broken wire with a suitable...

This goes in the door in the rear window channel. Mine are all worn out, and the driver's side is broken. Does any one know if other year/make/model inserts would fit my 1959 Mercury Monterey? If not, I'll have to fabricate/refurbish/reuse the ones I have.

I have this Driver's side door panel off of my 1959 Mercury Monterey. It is in pretty rough shape. There are no aftermarket replacements for this year/make/model that I can find. I'd like to "rebuild" the existing panel. The alternative is to buy some vinyl and padding and recreate the...

My driver's side door glass fell into the door. Upon disassembly, I noticed this rusty bracket and removed them. At first I thought it was two brackets. But looking at the exploded diagram, it looks like they are both from the same bracket (21578). I cannot find a new or used one...

This door handle will not budge. I got the door latch handle off with no problem, but the window crank won't budge. Yes, I pulled the retaining clip off of three back of the handle. Seems no amount of prying or tapping will make it budge. I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has run...

I have a 1959 Mercury Monterey that I've been working on. It has cranked/started with no problems since I started working on it (off-and-on couple of years). Yesterday, I turned the key to 'Start" and it turned over a couple of times and then nothing. 1: Jumped from the POS side of the...

For a 1959 with Drums all around, do I need the fancy distribution block, or can I just use a simple distribution block? WHen I purchased the car, it had a later model MC and unknown PB with unknown distribution block. The MC looks like a Disc/Drum unit, and I'm assuming the distribution block...

Does anyone know if the 1959-specific B9MM-5484-A bushing will crossover to the later 1960+ bushings? I can find plently of B9A-5493-B bushings for sale, but the B9MM-5484-A bushings are rare as hen's teeth and pricey too. 1959: 1960-1964: Thank You, Stephen

I'm adding a set of aftermarket gauges to my 1959 Monterey. The stock gauge is still hooked up, but it pegs to the hot side after the car idles for 5 or 10 minutes (incidentally, the fuel gauge also pegs to the full side....I'm thinking the CVR in the dash is maybe bad?). Anyway, the only other...

I have a 1959 Mercury Monterey and I'm trying to get the windshield wipers operational. The car did not come with a windshield wiper motor, so I purchased an aftermarket electric replacement from New Port Engineering. The problem is that the "Windshield Wiper Auxiliary Drive" will not lay...

Can someone conceptually explain the generator regulator spec that states "Reverse Current To Open-Amps". The reason I ask is this: I converted to Pertronix with a relay, everything works fine. Except (there's always an 'except') when I turn the key to the 'off' position the car keeps...

I've confused myself looking online & searching threads for the 'correct' color to paint the block/valve covers/air cleaner on my 1959 Mercury Menterey with a 312. Is it green block with blue valve covers & breather? TIA

Looking for a nice used passenger side headlight bezel for a 1959 Mercury (Monterey). I've been looking but can't seem to find one for sale.

I think I want to convert the 312 in my 1959 Merc to an alternator setup. Other than mounting and aligning the alt to replace the gen, are there any other concerns I need to be aware of? I'm thinking it can't be as easy as a plug-and-play swithover...or can it? Thanks in advance, Stephen

ok, its a 1968 Galaxie....but I couldn't edit the title of the post. So its finally cool enough around here to be able to spend some time outside without getting fried like a gnat under a heat lamp. To that end...I've started to clean up the Galaxie that I dragged home earlie this year. It...

So I removed the fuel tank from my 1959 Mercury Monterey to have it reconditioned. While it was out I thought I'd do a little cleanup on the trunk floor. Exidently the infamous PO did some "repairs" to the trunk floor, which might have worsened the situation. As far as I can tell, the PO...

Is it possible to embed a video within a post on this forum?

OK, it has taken me a while to get some things figured out here. To get to this point: Had the fuel tank professionally cleaned out & recoated Drained all the bad fuel (over 10 years old) Flushed out all the fuel lines Added a hard line between the fuel pump and the carb Replaced old fuel pump...

I have this black plastic thing-a-ma-bob doohicky that I have no idea what it is or where it goes. The rats found it and decided it would be a good piece of plastic to gnaw on. Here is a pic of the Ford engineering number. I looked on the internet for this nuber but drew blanks. Any one have...
