Thank you for the response ; very helpful .

I am looking to upgrade my original 1954 distributor . What are the possible replacements (if any) ?

Both front drums were changed which was previously mentioned as a potential issue ; I will investigate .

Great advice by all who responded ! Thank you !

My 1954 Ford Victoria (Fordomatic) is giving me fits ; it has begun to vibrate at 40 MPH and it gets worse as the speed increases . So far I have had all four wheels / tires spin balanced all to no avail . What else might be going on ; any advise would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks for the response ; I will sleep better tonight !

Due to the fact I can't locate a decent drum/hub which are attached on 54 Fords , is there an issue with separation of the two and installing the best of each from my stash?

Thanks; I appreciate the replies !

How many turns out should you adjust an original 54 carburetor ?

I am looking for a fordomatic transmission pan (small case). Please PM me if you have one for sale .

sorry ; that's what happens when you send somebody else to measure and I should know that the number was circumference not diameter . Thanks for the part number.

The diameter of the reservoir is 16 inches ; I replaced the pump with a rebuilt from Concours Parts. i identified the setup as 55/56 due to the fact that the pressure hose goes to the pump and the return hose goes to the reservoir as opposed to both going to the pump like a 54 and early 55 .

I am searching for a power steering reservoir cover ( also called a lid ) for my 1954 Victoria . To complicate things , someone installed a 1955 complete setup at one time . Due to availability , will 1955 Thunderbird parts fit ?

Drum only ; I have seen them together (Concours Parts had a pair for sale a while back but I was a little slow on the draw ).

The Mustang plan was on the table until I located a NOS drum as well as a machine shop that turns what I already had .

The only other stamping on the drum is the number 4 .

Thanks for the responses ; unfortunately , the seller is no longer available.

The Carpenter drum is an 11 inch and pricey. The ''extra"one I have (1159)is an unknown and the only reason I would like to find out what it fits is curiosity.

Fortunately,I have finished my search and this one is an extra .You are absolutely correct regarding some of the inferior parts on the market.

In my search for 1954 brake drums I purchased one with the number 1159; it is a Kelsey Hayes and doesn't fit the front . Any info regarding what it will fit will be appreciated .
