my car has been sitting for 7 years(in storage)i finally got it started up and it smokes(white) like crazy. I ran it for about 15 min. and it decreased a...
The clue here is that the smoke is white. Sounds like you're burning transmission fluid. Does your Merc have an automatic transmission? If so, sounds like the...
... the carb, it may free it up. You may need to rebuild the carb. Too high of a fuel level will dump to much fuel resulting in a white smoke cond. In...
I have a 64 Montclair Marauder I would like to add power steering to. I had someone tell me that only a 64 Galaxie station wagon power steering setup will work...
Too much fuel has always been black smoke for me. White is either oil of some sort or steam. But oil usually has a blue tint to it. Had a 72 Gran Torino once...
I agree. Black smoke is too rich (too much gas). Blue is burning oil. White, I think, is running lean (not enough gas). Pink is too much alcohol (internal...
That's what I hoping for. I have a parts Catalog that has both outer tie rod's as being differant on the mercury but the steering is from the center link, I...
Right next to the speedometer there are the two turn signal indicators (in green), but what are the red lights on the indide of these? I know the left one is...
I'm pretty sure - black smoke = running too rich blue smoke = burning oil white smoke = burning transmission fluid I mentioned the vacuum modulator because my...
Drain all the oil out of your car and run it for about a half hour. I bet that the red light will come on and say, "oil." And that's a bad thing when that...

Well, since it is not embossed and there is nothing that says OIL around it, I doubt that is it. I also already have an oil gauge. On Tue, 6 Apr ... ...
If you have guages, the idiot light hole is still there, just doesn't have a bulb in it. Or after all these years, your bulb is burned out. I've noticed over...
Funny that..I took my 65 park lane convertible for it's first run since it's engine was rebuilt, during a break in the rain here in the uk, and i thought i was...
Stick a light up behind the dash and look at the front of it while you do. Bet it says oil. My dad had a '66 Ford pick up that only had one turnsignal...
Actually, since my hi-beam indicator doesn't say anything either, it very well may be the oil indicator. thx On Wed, 7 Apr 2004, Gary Cavanaugh ... "technology...
After taking a couple of these ('63-'64) instrument clusters apart I can assure all of you that there is nothing on the right side next to the turn signal...
My best (uneducated) guess is that it would be for emergency flashers....if they were installed. Or Ford/Merc were thinking of installing them and put that in...
My 2 cents: maybe it's just there for aesthetics; to balance out the instrument cluster and it has no other purpose. The original owners' manual had plenty of...
