Jimz Bird
Thanks for the response. Well the thing is you see, I don't really have it yet. It is a tach drive unit out of a Cruiser and I think the gear is already a 14 tooth, not sure of that though. I am bidding on it and the seller says it was in a '55 bird. I too have queried on another forum, maybe the same one you saw. I too saw that the "c" was for the Merc 368 Cruiser and some on line research pretty much got the same results as you. The unit is a single point setup and I got the top diameter which is a little over 3.75" which makes the same as a '57 bird unit. If I get it I will just have to get a cap and be ready to go. I'm putting it in a '56 bird mostly to do away with the teapot carb. I have all the rest of the setup, '57 manifold, '57 carb etc. I will hang on to the '56 stuff in case I sell the car later and someone wants original items. Don't know why though the '57 stuff is so much better in my opinion.
Thanks,
