Just click on the color chart and it is magnified 4-5 times the size

and is easy to view!  Then place your cursor on the color and it is again magnified even larger!

<p class=”MsoNormal”>The Membership Directory is now on

<p class=”MsoNormal”> Secondly, will the Vendors and

Hi Larry,

Eventually on our web site you will be able to look up Mercury cars by year,

but not by state.

The printed hard copy for $5 will only be alpha and no vendor directory.

The vendor portion of the directory was not updated in years and presented more

of a problem due to lack of updates. 

Sorry for the cut backs , but due to state of our economy the move was

necessary.

Thanks for your understanding,

 

Jerry Robbin

Hi Barry,

 

At this time the old forum is not active and will not be available so please post your question again!

 

Sorry,

[Jerry Robbin]

Hi Everyone,

 

I just wanted to post a reesponse from a past forum member William , who is not a IMOA member. He has some concerns about our new forum and I wanted to share with everyone.

 

Jerry

<div>Okay, I know I’m not a member of IMOA, but I had

written prior to the change that I was considering whether it would be

worth joining. At that time, the change was announced and the time frame

of its having been implemented was longer than the original

annoucement. </div>

<div> </div>

<div>Some members have already expressed they think the old forums

should be available, and I’d agree with that – there is a lot of useful

information that’s lost if the old forums are discarded. You’ve also

seen complaints about the degree to which features of the forums that

used to be there are not there any longer. These are all concerns I have

as well.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>But I also wanted to add that when the forum change was announced,

it was said that there would be a way to join on-line. Well, it’s not

there and if I was to join, that would be how I would do it. Is this

going to be done still?</div>

We have had some members complain that the old forum is missing, but in a few weeks we will have enough activity to make everyone happy!

 

Look forward to seeing you next weekend,

[Jerry Robbin]

We can leave the old forum up, but make it read-only. Though, don’t you

think people will be confused why there are two forums, and only one of

them accepts new posts?

Also, Dave & Wendy what do you mean when you say “the beta test isn’t looking so good.” Are you talking about the visual look, the functionality, the forum or

the site as a whole….???

I’d recommend letting the new site/forum sink in for a week or two

before making any changes. That way, we will gather a bunch of feedback,

and will be able to see what people are consistently asking for. It’s

better to respond to opinions that are held by the group as a whole,

rather than responding piecemeal as they come in.

<div id=”post_message_1201″>Gentlemen,

I have spent the last two years or so researching the MEL Engine Family

(383-410-430-462) and have come across an early HOT ROD MAGAZINE article

referring to the availability of this option on a 1959 BIRD.

QUOTE:

“For prospective Bird owners who might buy the 430 engine option and

desire a bit more for competition, a triple carburetion setup is also

available. This is being made by Bill Stroppe and is a modification of

the Marauder manifold offered as an option last year by Mercury. This

aluminum triple intake manifold uses three Ford two-barrel carburetors

with vacuum controlled progressive linkage on the two outside

carburetors. Normal operation is with the center carburetor only. Also

included in the kit offerred by Stroppe is a cast aluminum air cleaner

housing fitted with a paper filtering element. With the triple

carburetion, last year’s Marauder engine was rated at 400 horsepower,

the only other difference being 10.5:1 compression for the Marauder.”

And further on in the article:

“The automatic transmission that comes with the Lincoln engine is called

Cruise-O-Matic but it is actually a Multi-Drive Merc-O-Matic.”

Has anyone seen or heard of this option or was it just an early

publicity release by FOMOCO that never materialized? It may have been

offered just to qualify it for NASCAR competition with the HOLMAN-MOODY

TBIRD’s in 1959.

The option was available on LINC-MERC for 1958.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.</div>
