Re: Super Marauder tripower carb alternatives

I found a site on line that lists all the vintage carbs. I was able to find every carb made for 58 mecury's inlcuding tripowers. they also list the rebuild kit which gives me the opinion that if they use the same kit in the same year they should work ok on my intake. the site is carbkitsource.com. I...

Is there a good alternative carb to use if I can't find an original. I also will need linkage. Is aftermarket available or does it need to be custom made. Th...

Re: 1958 Park Lane Phaeton, ID, Parts and Interchange

Thank you for your research. The body is marble white and it looks like the roof and projectile area are flamingo red although they have faded to what looks more like A rose or oxided mauve color. I will get some pictures off in a few day when I pick up the car and bring it home. Thanks again, Bill

Thanks for the rapid response. Ive been on the net for weeks trying to find that info. My next search will be to find out how early in the year the engine was built. Theres some good info on the forum so I'm hoping I'm not going to have as much trouble.

1958 Park Lane Phaeton, ID, Parts and Interchange question

Looks like it isn't easy finding parts cars for the 58 Park Lane but I did locate one. Does anybody know what is interchangable off the Montereys and Montclairs? From what it looks like I have a longer roof and trunk. We had a car show yesterday at Johnsville Naval Base In PA and the MELs made a goo...
