thanks guys, I just had my 312 and automatic all rebuilt

What ratio gear for the rear end would make engine run at around 2000+ rpm or is this not advisable

so 57 turnpike cruiser had to a higher ratio rear end

in 57 mercury made a turnpike cruiser, was the automatic transmission the same as the 56 or did they upgrade the transmission so the engine runs at a slower speed, my 56 312 turns 3000 at 70 mph

when I get the part I will post

Found out the sending unit for a merc is different than ford, got sending unit from Classic Mercury

sounds like you have the unit that goes in head, you can get a shorter sending unit from speedway that will work with external gauge

looking for oil dash gauge for 56 ford or merc

my oil gauge for my 56 merc isn't working it measures 41 ohms across terminals unhooked, from the sending it shows ground, changed sending unit it shows grd, with external gauge it works fine, the dash gauge when switch is turned it goes to max start engine it goes slowly to 0. any ideas???

Have not seen anything from Old Henry is he ok. Enjoyed his posts. Any body know?

Ralph, i sure enjoy your videos, you are a very good craftsman, enjoy your Mercury's very few people can make a part, shape it and weld it in.

Ralph, use a 6011 welding rod it is made for rusty nasty metal, works very well

is that the one that holds the starter

you will need to change bell housing also
