You might want to wander down to your local Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
It's now just Lincoln.
Mercury is no more, just an orphan name reminding us of the past......
THE MERCURY GT40S WERE BUILT IN CANADA ......... ASK BILL LOL

Wouldn't it be cool to trailer your Mercury GT40 with a F-I Mercury pickup. Sure make all those Acadian owners jealous!
Can someone shine a light on the decals.
Ill assume the Autolite sparkplug decal is about 4"
Is the Pure Oil decal the same size, or just a bit smaller than the Autolite decal.
Be aware, the Autolite decal has a red surrounding also making it bigger as it appears on the black & white photo, so I am hoping somebody has colour pictures of the P1016 in 1967 in Mercury trim.

Being me Im always interested in anything T44 related.... In this info it states the failures of the T44 wee due to improper heat treatment of the input shafts.... Im sure Ive seen reference to them failing due to a dual seal arrangement that meant no lubricant reached one point on the shaft & therefore localised overheating that caused the failures.... any other old blokes with info on this?... MKIV I think we might have spoken about it.?
You talking to me?
Yes Sir, if you can add anything! Sorry to bother you if Im barking at a wrong tree!! I might be slightly off course...happens a bit these days.

Thankyou, great read, frustrating run for the car owners, drivers. Makes me wonder if expansion of the cases migh play a part, but they seem to sugest the teeth were marked like that before fitting. Mag cases do seem to 'grow' in service.
Not really, I have heard all of the versions of what caused the failures. I guess you pick the one you like and go with it.
ehh guys.... Mercury GT40 ?
YEP sorry.... got carried away...
sorry again
