Fuel gauge isn’t correct Hey guys, My fuel gauge has never been correct. I had the original sender in it and changed it with a new one. The new one though had the wire that goes to the gauge and to a ground (I think electrical isn’t my strong suit) I hooked up the new sender and it varies on...

I know everyone says to throw them away but I haven't had much issue with mine. My question is, is there a way to kind of hop them up alittle bit? I have looked around and haven't seen much of it. I plan on upgrading down the road but was just curious if anyone has modified them to get alittle...

Hey guys, I got an a team performance ready to run distributor from southwest performance and have been having issues. I have been i contact with their tech support but they are absolutely no help at all. Anyways my issue is at steady high rpms I have a stumble and if I line the dot on the crank...

I'm having issues on acceleration, it just spits and sputters. I have replaced the 6 volt to a 12 volt system 2 years ago, this started happening about 3 months ago and I have been chasing my tail. I rebuilt the carburetor (teapot) and had the alternator rebuilt because it wasnt charging. Still...

Last week I posted I had acceleration issues on my 1901 yeapot carb. I moved the accelerator pump adjustment to the right from the middle hole and also found the diaphragm for the power vavle was shorter so I changed it out. Took it for a drive and ran awesome for the most part but my volt meter...

I just rebuilt my holley teapot carburetor and it runs great at idle but when I give it 1/4 to 1/2 throttle it spits then dies. The float looks level from the top. I replaced the fuel filter and the pump is mechanical but not that old. I also replaced the distributor cap and rotor and the vacuum...

So I have been having issues with my 6 volt overdrive solenoid, I performed tests to find that the relay is working, but when the wire I had hooked up to the relay is hooked up I get no power on that side of the relay, when I remove it I get power back on that side of the relay. Do I just have...

So I just converted my 6 volt system to 12 volt but I still have the 6 volt overdrive system. My question is can I still run the 6 volt solenoid and relay on my 12 volt? I know it's not recommended, but the 12 volt parts are alittle spendy for me right now. I have read on here and the HAMB that...

Does anyone have suggestions on 12 volt conversation kits? I'm planning on upgrading my 53 Merc, I want to also put air bags on it so I'm not sure if I need more amps than 100 on an alternator. And also would I have to upgrade the overdrive system also or do they have kits that will allow me to...

I burnt out another 6 volt regulator on the circuit breaker coil, I thought I did the adjustment right because the car was charging. I have a service manual and I'm having a hard time understanding the adjustment process. Is there an easy way to adjust these, I mean it doesn't seem that hard but...

I have the Borg Warner overdrive transmission 3 speed. I went for a cruise one day and it worked fine, on the way home it felt like the overdrive was starting to act up. The next time I took it out I couldn't get the overdrive to kick in at all, I jumped the governor and the relay clicked like...

So I hooked up my license plate light a couple weeks ago on my 1953 mercury 6 volt positive ground system. Went to take the car to grab some lunch on day and everything was good, went in to and ate lunch, came out of the restaurant and my car would not start, turn the key and hit the button and...

Just curious if anyone has ever seen a 6 volt jumper box? I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find one, I am still running my 6 volt positive ground in my 53 Merc for now but do plan on upgrading. Until then I would like to find a way to jump my car if I run into troubles when going for...

I have recently had an issue with my overdrive, it works fine most of the time and then it will all of a sudden stop working. At first I thought it was a bad wire connection but when I jump the governor everything works as it should, then I take it out for a test drive and runs great. But...

The hood hinges on my mercury where bent and broke when I got the car, tried to fix them but it's just not going. Im not running the heater so I really don't need the vents and don't want to spend $500 for a new pair so I'm curious, does anyone have any ideas of what other hinges would work if I...

Does anyone know where or have a wiring diagram for just the radio wiring for a 1953 mercury monterey? I have the stock radio and I have one wire with a in line fuse coming out of the left side of the radio and I assume that is the power wire so it should be hooked up to the circuit board. Then...

I'm curious, what is a 6 volt charging system suppose to be putting out? I'm getting a reading of 6.75 volts at idle and reved up alittle it gets to about 6.94 volts. I try and start my car, 1953 Mercury with the Flathead, at least once a week but every time the battery is dead for some reason...

I am doing a clutch adjustment on my mercury and I get it so I have alittle free play so the throw out bearing doesnt stay spinning, but then my clutch pedal doesn't spring back all the way. If I tighten up the adjustment at the throw out bearing then I have no free play but the clutch pedal...

I have been having this issue for abit now and I have asked on here before. I can get the engine to crank but no start. I do not have spark at the plugs. I have new plugs, new wires, new cap, new rotor, new condenser, and new points set at .015". It's a 6 volt positive groumd on a 53 mercury...

I'm having issues with my 6 volt positive ground system on my 53 mercury. I plan on upgrading the entire system when I have the funds but for now I'm keeping it 6 volt. Anyways I wired up the car, not using a wiring harness, and the engine cranks but won't start so I checked for spark and got...
