Most issues of from these years are included--207 in all. Can send you a detailed list if you are interested. Can ship but will be expensive. I live in Sacramento, CA area and direct pick up would be best with SF Bay Area also close enough. My email is psogden@pacbell.net

Looking for replacement glass for my 1946 Mercury speedometer or entire speedometer if glass is good. My car is a convertible that sat out in the desert for many years and the numbers on the speedometer glass got cooked. 46 is different from 47-8 for those of you not in the know.

Lately, I have heard what can best be described as a ringing sound coming from my 59 AB engine in my 46 Mercury. It is not a chirping sound--like from a belt. It sounds kind of like high pitched bells ringing. This isn't evident at idle but always happens when engine is revved or on a load...

Very original car. Current owner purchased in 1976. Car came from the Nevada desert near Hawthorne with 82,000 miles on the odometer. It was probably assembled at the Ford Plant in Richmond, California in late 1945 as one of the first post war cars produced. It runs and drives well. Original...

In order to get the 10-32 screw holes on my new sending unit to line up with those on the tank, I had to partially re-drill 5 of the 6 holes on the mounting plate. The holes on the neoprene gasket lined up perfectly with the tank but not so the holes on the plate. Wonder how the manufacturer...

The new tank I purchased is painted grey. Is this the correct color? Was the original (factory) tank gray or galvanized plated or ?? I recall on a '46 Ford I once owned that the tank was under coated--but believe this was an option--something the dealers did for a modest charge.

What do any of you experts suggest to use as insulation between top of new tank and floorboard? Old tank has a couple of very original (and falling apart) strips of felt-like material. Hate to try to re-use these. Thanks in advance.

Want to put in a good word for Charlie. He's the best. Worked with me on a couple of gnarly issues & bent over backwards. You all in the know--know he rebuilds carbs and fuel pumps

Plan to replace my fuel tank. Reading threads for other year cars, note there is a fitting problem for some years--new tanks slightly larger than old ones. Anybody have advice on best source for tank purchase? Assume steel tank is best (vs. plastic). And I see these aftermarket tanks come...

These parts are available separately but it is not clear how the handle attaches to the cable. Any of you geniuses out there have any clues? Thanks

Looking for reasonably priced coil to get rebuilt. If you can help, please reply to my email: psogden@pacbell.net. Many thanks.

Hi guys & gals. Read every Ford Barn post I could find on the subject, Dick Flynn tips, etc. before starting to torque the 5/8 – 18 axle nut and found out the conventional wisdom is a final torque of 200- 225 foot pounds. Proceeded very cautiously inching the nut on and carefully measuring...

On the top piece of this carburetor (the one that receives the fuel), there is a small rectangular hole below where the air cleaner attaches. It is at the top of the fuel chamber. I assume this is an overflow hole. I was bothered that sometimes gas spews out of this hole and might pose a fire...

Have a stock 1946 Mercury and recently installed a new steel fuel line but did not want to fatigue my starter motor pumping fuel from tank to carburetor. Went on the forum to get ideas about how to draw fuel from the tank to the fuel pump—but found none. Now, will pass along a discovery I...

After 10 years of inactivity of 59 AB on my 46 Merc with 3,000 miles on a 40 year old rebuilt engine, just installed rebuilt (Bubba) distributor, new condenser, cap, rotor, fuel pump, coil & carb. Also have fuel filters before fuel pump and between fuel pump and carb. I know I am getting good...

Looking for complete 1946 Mercury speedometer, including front glass. Different than 47-48 Mercury as you experts know. psogden@pacbell.net

These are hard to find I know--but surely somebody out there has one or two. psogden@pacbell.net Thanks.
