i'll have to take your word for it

it just seems odd that the indicator line

isn't pointing at the right holesin the frame

i just want to construct the jig correctly

this is difficult to do when

the front inner rail is bent upwards out of shape

and the rear end of the rear inner rail

has been sawn out!

i have a friend who has a mercury meteor

it's serial # is 3K42F******

he thinks it is a K code....

is it?

thanks

iowa

the front bumper bracket holes are clearly marked

and the measurement looks like it is from

the little hole in in front of and a smidge lower than them?

iowa

hmmmmm....

no answer to my hole Q

have another Q

how does one remove and install the drip rail chrome piece?

thanks

iowa

as always

enjoy your updates

is your car just a 'plain' K convertible?

ie not GT and no pony interior?

look forward to more pics of it done.

iowa

i don't seem to have the front hole

on the front frame extension

per the diagram above;

there are just spot weld marks in this area.

i'm sure this is an original piece.

could someone measure exactly where this hole is located?

thanks

iowa

thanks for replies

i take it then,

that my FB dated dec 24, of 1964

would have had a drain!

iowa

welcome

nice to know i'm not

the greenhorn on the block

iowa

hmmm...

i didn't mean to raise a fuss.

i have all the original stamps in my car;

the visible one just medial to the L fender,

and the hidden one's on under both fender's!!

so don't need to stamp anything.

i was trying to imitate the avatar's on this forum

with a personalized one for me.

thus the need to know the font.

thanks for the links tho

will make interesting reading.

iowa

what font was used to stamp the serial number

into the fenders?

thanks

iowa

is this engine area detailed out correct

enough for me to copy the pics and use

as a reference?

iowa

i will be needing a K clutch plate

and....a flywheel!!

thanks

iowa

probably a dumb Q

but why did some cars have one

and others did not?

iowa

i searched but didn't find an answer...

did K codes have a drain on their tanks?

i will be needing a new one

and want to get the right one

thanks

iowa

sorry to break in

but were they also on a 65 dearborn k code?

iowa

well my son's 66 needs OH'ed

so could use the hipo one while it's out

since my hipo is not yet ready for it!

d

can one put the dual point distr

into a reg 289 engine?

thanks
