Ok, thanks. Checked with Joblot, they have the line, but not pre-bent. C&G Ford Parts advertises one, but not sure if this is correct. Will check with them. Peder

Joblot in New York or Little Dearborn in Minneapolis might still have some left. Most vendors do not have any of the pre-bent lines left.

Where can I buy a pre-bent copper coated steel fuel line from the fuel pump to the carb. for my '46 Mercury? Thanks!

Question: Are there several suppliers of overdrive units serving the Early Ford V8 in the U.S.? Would also appreciate getting that measurement from you when you get around to it. Thanks again! Peder

This is originally a Minnesota car. Not modified. To my understanding they need the correct length. Mitch*ll has made these o.drives for model A's. They might not recognize the Mercury being the same as Ford? Would appreciate it if you could measure your torque tube and get back to me...Thanks again! Peder

I don't quite get where the length should be measured. They should have a correct unit for a '46 Mercury, unless it has been modified. The extra length of the Mercury chassis is ahead of the cowl, and the driveline is the same as Ford. I have Ford torque tubes lying around here and can measure one if that is what is required. Perhaps they are concerned that a non-US car would be different.

I will be ordering the Mitch*ll overdrive soon. They require the exact length from the rear to the transmission to get the correct overdrive. Would appreciate getting the correct measurement if anyone has it? Thanks...Peder

You are correct in the original standard tire size being 6.50x15. The 6.70 x 15 size was more readily available and used for replacement tires. 6.50x15 tires are still available for trucks and farm vehicles.

Not sure when in the 46-48 model year cycle...but my understanding is that original OEM tire for that run of Mercury was 6.50-15. Unfortunately...that die was lost long ago, and the available options are now 6.70 and 7.10-15. I know my 48 convertible came with 6.50-15 wide white walls, as I still have an original off the car.

Yes they share the same length torque tube. The extra 4 inches are from the cowl forward.
