Re: 53 Ranchwagon wiring

Re: Scammers upping their game

I have a friend in brazil with a 51 coupe. His car was built in Canada. It has the canadian data plate on the firewall and a speedo that reads in k/ph.

Re: 1954 Mercury Fuel Issue
I use an electric pump in my 52 merc to prime the teapot carb. I also have a 51 Ford with a 302 and an edelbrock 4bbl that does the same thing. An electric pump helps freatly.
