Respectfully, it is 5 1/8". Ford products never used the 4 3/4" neck on any carburetor, other than the '56 Mercury with a Carter WCFB four barrel and the '57 LIncoln with the same Carter. GM and Chrysler did though.

In '53 Mercury used a 1901 Holley 2 barrel teapot with a 5 1/8" neck.
In '54 Mercury used a 2140 4 barrel teapot also with a 5 1/8"neck.
