I'm having trouble finding replacement stabilizer bar links for my 54 Mercury Monterey. Part number is MEK-55495-A. Are the links for a 54 Ford the same? Several suppliers have the Ford links but can't tell me for certain they're the same for Mercury. I did find one nos link on eBay but I...

The timing mark on my 292 is a painted section approximately the same size as the pointer (see picture). I got everything reassembled (manifold, new carb & refreshed distributor) and timed it approximately like you see in the picture. Motor runs great but no road test yet - it's still mud...

What's the best sealant for valley pan w/cork gasket, intake manifold gaskets and valve cover gaskets?

When I bought my 9425 B manifold is was careful to compare port size to the old manifold I removed from the car. Today I got the 9425 B back from the paint shop and decided to compare its port size.to the heads. The port on the head is about an 1/8 inch longer. Is this a problem? I put the...

Needed for a 292 c.i. upgrade to a "B" intake and Edelbrock carb.

I think I've narrowed my carb choice to an Edelbrock 1403 Performer 500 cfm w/electric choke but as always I'm interested in thoughts/advice from those who know more than me. This is going on my '54 Mercury 292. It's a cruiser, not performance necessarily but I want to be able to keep up...

So I'm telling my grandson about crankcase ventilation in the 50's. Air through the breather cap, through the crankcase and out through the draft tube leaving an oily streak in the middle of the lane which I had to avoid when riding my motorcycle. I took the breather cap from my car (292 c.i.)...

My intake manifold is in the paint shop. Now I need to prep the heads for new gaskets. What's the preferred method to insure a proper seal first time? I was going to attach pictures but they're in .heic format. I'll try again tomorrow.

I know it's green but I need more; color name or color code. Is it the same as 52/53 Mercs? Where can I get it? As always, thanks for your insight.

I have a '54 Mercury parts car with an original 256 c.i. in it. The motor turns over with a ratchet but not a full revolution. Something is broken inside, perhaps a rod or something. Is there any good reason to keep it or should I let my grandson tear it down out of curiosity and then junk...

I got a 4 barrel manifold out of a barn full of "stuff" a couple weeks ago. No broken bolts, screwed up threads, cracks or other problems that I can see. Now I want to clean it up, paint it and use it, The first step is probably clean the inside, What's the best way to do that?

I stuck the endoscope my wife gave me for Christmas in a cylinder of my 292 c.i. and discovered its been bored 0.030. Prior to this I really had no idea of the history of the motor.

This is on a '54 Merc 292 I picked up an ECZ 9425 B intake. What's the purpose of the rear (firewall) hole? The fitting and cut off hose that were attached are the same size as the vacuum feed for my power brakes. The second picture is the hookup on the manifold presently on the car; a vacuum...

This has undoubtedly been answered before. If so I just need a link. What's the difference between ECZ 9425 A and ECZ 9425 B intake manifolds other than price? Thanks

Here it is.

Currently have a COAE 9425-F intake manifold and a Motocraft D4DE 2 barrel carb on a 292 Y Block. I'm thinking about going to a 4 barrel carb. What manifold and carb would be my best option? Thanks for help.

I'm 6' 3". Would I be comfortable in a 57 T Bird?
