Both manual and power use the same P.N. (according to the parts book)
This is the only picture I have.

Hi Trev:
Yea I got the email but I am having trouble getting to the Pic's.
I know it's me.
I have to get time to talk to my Computer Guru AKA My Daughter ( she lives in Mississippi ) on what I am doing wrong.

Hope not to hi jack this post but does anyone know what this is from?

I thought it might be Merc as it came in a pile of Merc parts but it does not look exactly like the exploded view above.

I could be wrong, but the picture of the 53 merc p/s shows only on number for the idler arm. On a 53 ford the idler arm is different for p/s.
Regards,
charles
