    I DO NOT HAVE BOOKS OR MICRO FISCHE FOR MERCURY GOING BACK THAT FAR TO SEE IF IT IS THE SAME AS FORD CAR. TRY USA PARTS SUPPLY LTD. AND SEE IF THEY KNOW IF THEIR FORD ONE WILL FIT. 1-703-335-1935 OR www.usapartssupply.com. THEY CARRY PARTS FOR 1949-1972 FORD FULL SIZE CARS.

    I think that is a Bendix treadlevac system. Try doing a Google search on that. GM as well as Hudson used a similar (if not the same) booster.

    Good luck, Dave
