Well I got my new parts in that are apparently hens teeth. I apparently got a brand new bell crank for my Y block w/auto. I was not aware that anyone was making a brand new bell crank. It is really nice and tight and comes with a really strong spring. Anyone heard of this?

Also got an AC mount (58) to mount the Compressor over the PS unit with a double belt Gen pulley. I will post pics when I get a chance.

Where did you get the bell crank?

1930artdeco · 02-26-2026, 05:06 PM

Jerry's auto parts in Arkansas.

Hopefully they show up.

Your bell crank appears to be an original that has been glass beaded. IMO you are better off with this than if there was a repro part

What is it with these ads. First time I have seen these

Craig, that would be awesome if it is! But, I can't find a FOMOCO stamp on it anywhere. And if it is original then it would have to be NOS. Again Awesome!!

I have the same thing on my '56, glass beaded it and found no FoMoCo stamps on it either.
Looking at your photo, it appears the mounting holes are slightly etched from the bolts that once held it in place

OK, I will verify tonight that it will work. IF it does then it gets painted and installed!!! Then I can rebuild my other original.

Parts supplied TO Ford would not have the Ford script or (later) FOMOCO on them.

Thanks Kube. That would explain why no logo. It is used but so lightly it is essentially NOS.
