recently bought the car. its awesome. joined this club. its awesome too. talked with a local member – great conversation. im sort of a shade tree mech, starting to go through the car. anyone have a fuse box and / or electrical diagram? im not even sure where the box is yet. thanks. love this stuff.
Sorry it took me awhile to answer you Nick. My name is Wayne Miller and I have had a couple of 65 Fullsize Mercs and the fuse situation should be the same. The fuse panel is mounted on the interior fire wall near the brake pedal . This contains the main fuses , although there are fuses located in numerous other switches , such as the headlight switch . If you would like I could send a copy of what I have which comes out of the shop manual . Or I would suggest picking up a 1966 fullsize Ford and Mercury shop manual . They are normally available on ebay for $30 – $40 . Well worth the expense . Please respond if you have more questions and welcome to the club. A bunch of really good people . Thanks Wayne
thanks Wayne. i think i found what i needed. i talked w a fellow i met on this site – he recommended the owner’s manual – which was in the glovebox!i really wasnt in a bind, im just starting to go through this old car – no real problems at this time. but thanks. i also found some pretty decent wiring diagrams online that seem pertinent. im not sure where im going with this whole thing, but i want to ensure the basics are covered. im thinking about converting to a dual master cylinder first and putting some disc brakes on. thought about a wheel mod at same time, i think theyre 14in factory, it’d seem logical to upsize, but not sure if thatd cause interference. not a big deal, i have the origal wire spoke wheel covers on now, and i like them, but hard to keep clean. but its been blast so far. the weather’s kinda dicey here in missouri this time of year so i have the car in storage, but wouldnt mind checking it in to the shop and start having some work done a little at a time. first order is to fix a loose weather strip on the ragtop (i found a shop, called them, they said could be a deteriorated tack strip and i think theyre right). anyway thank you so much for replying. yes the club seems awesome. the Pocono trip looked fabulous, that was before i had the car though. bout a 50/50 i drive this old car to Dayton, but i dont know if i can get away, and that’d be a heckuva drive in this old car. thanks sir. much appreciated.
