1963 mercury monterey breezeway

another piece to my collection of random Mercury Stuff.

 

well i finally got the radio that i wanted.
Now its year and model Correct plus also got the much needed radio bezel for the am/fm set up.
I had to trade my old am radio and the bezel plus one more radio plus chash.
But at the end i am very happy to have done it.
Now to save my pennys again to send this radio off to get rebuilt.
Next on the list is power windows

 

That coloring book is awesome. Where did you fond it? Glad the radio project is progressing. I'm making some progress on Marauder #3.

 

the coloring book i got from ebay. someone in canada had it listed.
some day ill have more Mercurys just like you

 

Ya gotta love the Merc-O-Matic!!!
If for no other reason than the name of it!!!

 

On a side note...since it's not a '50 you're going to be ostracized until you finish the build...and then they'll take notice.
Gonna drive my Mercury on down the road...

 

Too true! I can't wait until the day when I find out if my rebuild was successful!

 

rprice76 i know that beast is going to work !!!

 

LOL! Thanks Crazy - I have a good feeling too - I just wish life would stop getting in the way!

nice looking Mercury and a 4 door like mine

 

Does anybody knows it the Body to Frame Pad Kit from a 1963 Ford Galaxie, is the same on the Merc. Monterey. In Canada the Ford Dealer has no info on mercury's anymore

 

Nice car. My mom had one and it was the first car I ever drove.
She didn't, however, know I was driving it at the time; which was good as I was only 15.
Not old enough to get a license, but old enough to duplicate a key.

 

Should be the same

from what i know the Monterey's (marauders ect..) is the same frame plan as the Galaxies.
Even the doors are the same the difference is that the Mercurys have the bolt on panel for the top chrome trim.

 

Thanks Roy and Honlude, I thought so too. But Ihere is no Info in my book or Internet.
I saw some on ebay

Cool, my dad had a 63 merc monterey with a 352 2 bbl. He asked me to put a new carb on it so I went to the bone yard and grabbed a 4bbl intake and put a holley 750 double pumper on it. Even with 85,000 miles I took it up to 120 mph no problem. Of course my dad wasn't with me.

 

Spring arrived in Canada. Finally I can start to work on the Mercury.
Most spare parts I needed, I bought in in the last 5 winter month

 

Good luck resuming your project. I'm still struggling with the brakes on both of mine.

 

I will change mine in the front to disc brakes.I bought last year the brakes from a 1078 cougar. I have friends they did the change on a 64 Galaxie. Drives much better/ I will also install a pass mirror and move the mirror to the door

 

Hey crazy_tonguezz,thanks for that link!!!!! Most helpful info I've found on these cars yet!!

Do any of you guys know an ok way to adjust the kick-down linkage on these without a pressure guage?

 

You dont need press gauge.
These have vacuum modulator for pressure adjust.
You can adjust the kick-down linkage just where you want or even take it away.Wont broke the trans.

 

Thanks!! My Chiltons was pretty vague on the subject. I think shes ok where shes at now, kicks down between 3/4 and full throttle
