Hello guys.
Is there anyone on here that knows anything about the 430 MEL engines???
I have a 1960 Mercury Park Lane and it is running like a dog, I have a few idea's but don’t have any tuning spec or details at all for it.
The original 2 barrel carb is completely sha?? (broken) so I have tried putting a 4 barrel Holley 600 on with a 2 to 4 barrel converter plate but she’s not happy, next I tried the Speed Demon I am putting on the 500 Caddy lump going into the 59 Impala. but still no goodI am now looking for a working 2 barrel to put back on but also need to give her a full service with new points, leads, plugs and what not. The other thing I am a bit dubious about is the lifters, But until I can find a gasket set for the engine I am not going to open it up. Apart from that the car is really nice and deserves to be on the road.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
