Talladega exhaust numbers
J_Speegle:
Guess you have already checked the MPC to get the part numbers. Don't think your going to be able to find assembly line parts or at best I don't think anyone is reproducing them well. This leaves you with used or service replacement mufflers and tail pipes which are going to have different dates and may be slight different in design some way.
Believe that the items were the same as the 69 428CJ Fairlane/Torino parts. Sorry if I'm incorrect as I've only owned one Talladega
Looking at the last MPC they show that by these parts had already been replaced and were being serviced by D0ZZ-5032-R (mufflers) and D0OZ-5255-G & D0OZ-5255-H (tail pipes) parts :(
You will need to find someone with a 1969 MPC copy that covers that section. Its found in the text, not the illustrated pages, of the manual in section #52. Have part of a Aug 68 MPC but not that section
Pedro:
Thank you very much for your information Jeff.
We have contacted Marty Burke and his advice agreed with your first paragraph.
We'll follow up on the 69 428CJ Fairlane/Torino exhausts.
Regards, Peter.

Peter glad you reached out to Marty. He is a great guy and very knowledgeable. I will see him and many others at a get together of the registry this weekend. You need to get connected with that group as well. I have for my Cyclone I am building.

I perused the registry site after your suggestion and there seems to be some good Mercury information there. My connection with this Talladega is that I'm very good at finding good cars and sourced it. The owner is a friend of mine who also owns a show quality 69 formal roof Torino GT 429 (not original motor) and is not very computer literate so I'm endeavouring to help him. He phoned and spoke with Marty.
I have a connection with Mercury's, having imported a show quality 66 Cyclone GT 390 top loader convertible and an ex-museum 66 Park Lane 2 door coupe 410/C6. Due to my now ex wife decamping with all my money I now own neither. LOL
Pics ...
Wheels shown here were fitted by American owner - I also had the original wheels with deluxe spokes covers.

My Talladega - well it was for about 9 days ::)
Original paint, interior, drivetrain, rust free Calif car. Bought it off a used car lot where it had set for three years. Think it was the early 90's. Was a very nice car.
