255 mercury carb rebuild kit
I am looking for a supplier for a carb rebuild kit for a 1953 Monarch with a 255 flathead V-8. The carb is the same as the Mercury’s And has a four bolt base.
Does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit?

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
Even the Canadian Mercury and monarch should use the same Holley 1901-FF carburetor for 1953 as the US built Mercury 255. You might send Charlie NY a PM. This is a link with his post about them.

I got mine for the 52 Merc through Mikes Carburetor Shop. He has a youtube channel

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
Where the mercury tea cups very good carbs? Where they an improvement over the 3 bolt carb? Strange looking compared to the ford Holley.

To me they were good carburetors. Just need to pay attention to detail when putting them together. They flow a little more air than the Holley 94 type 3 bolt carbs, since the Mercury was a larger engine (255). Sal |

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
I won't speak for Sal but I think you had it right Charlie. The S in Sal's forum moniker is likely his first name initial.

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
It is very helpful to me. The car is a 1953 Monarch convertible trailer queen. However I have decided I would rather drive it than admire it so a carb rebuild is in order. Thanks for the tips.

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
If you decided to do the rebuild yourself or have it done locally a good source for carb kits is Daytona Carburetor: https://www.daytonaparts.com/ JMO

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
Hi Sal. Thanks for replying to my post re rebuilding a 1953 Monarch 255 cubic inch carb.
The car is a Canadian Monarch convertible which I totally rebuilt a number of years ago but it has been a garage queen with very,very limited use. However I plan to drive it this year. I have a retired Ford / Mercury dealer mechanic freeing up the choke which was seized and he also asked for a carb rebuild kit. The carb is a Holley 9510..J2. All of the kits I see are for the 239 Fords with a 3 bolt base whereas mine has a 4 bolt base. What is the correct kit? Thanks Jim

Re: 255 mercury carb rebuild kit
Hi Jim,
The carb number you listed was incomplete. Maybe it wasn't stamped complete. Should be EAC-9510-J2 I've had very good luck with the kit on this link. Lowest price I've found too. You can also try Daytona Carburetor in Florida. Sal https://www.ebay.com/itm/Holley-Mode...wAAOSwLJ9Z7MmU |
