@hotrodA if you get the Merc bearing can you do a comparison of the size to the Ford? Not that I want to pull my motor to change it.
That bearing would likely help if it is thicker. The Mercury transmission has the same input shaft as the Ford. When I found my issue I found...
I had the same problem. I am not running yet, but it seems to work. I extended the linkage rod. When my pedal is fully up there is tension on...
Is there source for the bushings?

Tough to move the exhaust as then it gets too close to the fuel line that is running inside the frame rail. I plan to add a starter support, I...
