having trouble finding a clutch kit or parts does any one know if ford and merc the same and/or where to get them?? cant find any specific listings for the merc tried joblot macs c&g... help?
If you have a good old timey clutch rebuilder in your area it might be better and cheaper to go that route. I did that with my '55 Merc, rebuilt disc and pressure plate and new T O bearing for 90 bucks. He even had the pressure plate on the shelf for exchange.
Might try these guys---they had everything for my 52 Victoria--reasonably priced. Good Luck http://www.cl***icautoparts.com/
Not sure if Y-blocks and 6 cylinders share clutch stuff, but if its a Y-block the 10 inch lever pressure plate can be rebuilt, and the clutch discs are readily available. The '54 merc stuff I used when putting a Srod transmission in my brothers mercury was all the same as my ford stuff. (Obviously when removing, not installing.)
