I have a 56 merc montclair with a burned out signal light switch. My book indicates the part number for the switch is FDT 14486-A. Lincoln Mercury Old Parts Store has a NOS switch for $175.00. Macs list a 56 ford switch B8A-13341-A that says Ford only. I contacted them. They indicated it would probably work. Has anyone used this switch on a 56 Mercury? Part number FEK-14486-A indicates it will fit a 57 Ford and looks exactly like the 56 Ford one and my 56 Mercury including the same color wires. Does anyone know what the difference FEK an FDT. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Larry

I purchased the B8A-13341-A from Dennis Carpenter and installed it in the 56 mercury. I had to grind of a plastic insert on the top of the switch and it fit the original screws holes. The wires were the same color and worked well. The switch seems to work fine. I had the choice of purchasing a $175.00 NOS switch or an $80.00 one from Dennis Carpenter. Larry
