How to identify a merc 4' crank TECH

Bill

Good of ya to post this up. Lots of guys doing flatheads and I am sure your post will help !!:)
 
Nice little article, thanks.

My old man and I knew about the dimple in the crank for my uncle back in Winnipeg who is quite knowledgable with flat heads. My father landed a Merc motor when he picked up his 50 Shoebox project. My uncle and father went through the Merc flattie a couple years ago and we are going to put it in my 51 Meteor this winter.
