I'm like you in that in the coming days I'll be stocking up on Autolite 216's as well as I'll make sure to grab a bunch of extra Carlson brake hardware kits for the Ford and Mercury Trucks I come across.

The first two Mercurys were the inspiration for me building the wikipedia Mercury M Series page about 20 or so years ago..


And the unsightly 52 chevrolly is sitting on a '78 Bronco with a 351 Boss Cleveland under the hood (it really pizzas the chev guys off at the car show)
