Daves55sedan- Again thanks very much - this is very helpful. Now I'll set about figuring what is not original - there is definite differences in our linkage. It's probably part of my problem which is sticky linkage. Lubed the crap out of it and still hangs up. I have springs were you don't, etc...

Daves55sedan - thanks very much for all this info and the photos. This will get me heading in the right direction. My linkage setup is definitely different. I have enough nerve to ask one more favor: When you get a chance one or two more photos with the air cleaner off showing all linkage from...

Daves55, I look forward to your photos - thank you. There have definitely been some things done to the linkage that do not look stock (tack welding pieces, etc). Also, you are correct. The link is slightly bent and is not staying in any one of the 3 holes. Would you suggest removing the carb to...

I have a 55 Customline, 272, Fordomatic, stk 2bbl. Would anyone with a similar car please provide a photo or two of their carb linkage setup? Or, if you have a diagram that would be great also. A previous owner at one time had a two 2bbls setup and I'm having difficulty figuring out what is...

Thanks to all for the responses so far. I've got to get busy with this - wasting good cruzin weather!

Have a 272 2v, manual choke, Fordomatic 55 Customline. Got a bit of a rush the other day as I was coming into a curve my throttle stuck wide open. After mashing the accel pedal several times I was able to get it kicked down and stayed on the road. It happened again on a straight road. Typically...

Thanks - I'll give them a holler. But in case they don't have it I would still appreciate a photo and dims if someone has them.

I'm attempting to return my 55 Customline trunk lock to stock condition. I have everything I need except the release rod. Mac's has them for apparently everything but the 55 Mainline and Customline. Would someone who owns a 55 with stock trunklock be willing to take a photo of the release rod...

Thanks mercman, these good shots should get me there.

Thanks Daves55sedan, any idea of what the dim from the door front to the letter "e" would be? I also have the Fordomatic which I believe goes on the driver's side of the trunk lid but I'll need to check that. I think I can position everything else from images on the web. Thanks!

Thanks dmsfrr, I have been checking out the images around the web and I guess I'll just end up using those and get as close as I can.

I bought my 55 Customline last year completely shaved except for the side moldings. I have decided I want to add some bling by installing the original badging, script, and hood ornament. Naturally I would like to install them in the factory location but there does not seem to be any local cars...

Thanks Rick - I'll keep an eye on Ebay.

Hello - First time post. Would someone who owns a 55 Customline (or perhaps Mainline) with the stock trunk lock be willing to take a few photos of the assy that is mounted inside and outside the trunk lid? Or provide a detailed diagram of the same. I currently have a shaved trunk with a cable...
