No, there will be pictures of Fords. The Fords and Mercurys of these years have much in common and the book is a useful tool for restorers of both. The Mercury differences will not be detailed in the book.

I should have said that the book covers all items that are common to Fords and Mercurys.

No, it does not cover items that are unique to Mercury, such as interior and exterior trim. The main difference between Ford and Mercury in the 41-48 years is chassis length, hood, front fenders, and trim. Some of the interior trim items are: upholstery materials, dash trim and color, door trim and instruments. Most mechanical parts are interchangeable. You can use the 1939 though 1948 Mercury Chassis manual for reference. Parts with a 29A, 6M, 7M, or 8M are unique to Mercury. Parts with a 59A prefix can be used on either a Ford or Mercury. As with all rules pertaining to Ford Motor Company vehicles there are many exceptions.

Thanks for the info... the description of the book says "186-page guideline for the 1941-1948 Ford Car" . Does it also cover mercury too?

I don't recognize your heater. It might be from a truck or commercial vehicle manufactured after 1947. I think that the block letters came into use in the 50's. If you intend to put your car on the concourse for judging, I would get the 41-48 book from the V-8 Club and use it as a guide for a correct restoration. Tom

I don't remember a Mercury name on the heater in 1947. There were 3 heaters available in 1947, one with 3 doors on the front, a fresh air heater and a third heater with one door in the front and 1 small door on each side. Which heater do you have?

T is for throttle. If pulls all the way out means a few inches then stops, that is what it should do. The engine end connects to the left side of the carburator thottle shaft with a ball connection like that of the choke. One of my Mercury's has an 8BA engine in it and that carb has no throttle attachment. If your distributor is at the right front of the engine that's what you have. If the distributor is on the front face of the block that's what you should have 46 - 48
