54 Mercury battery cable
Removed this cable off my Mercury today. Cable from the starter to the solenoid. Makes me wonder the condition of the rest of the wiring on the car.
Time for a new harness I think.

Re: 54 Mercury Front end question
I removed the LF tie rod end today. Some side to side play when moving by hand.
Does anyone know if grade 8 bolts were used to secure the adjusting sleeve on the tie rods???
