South Carolina is where I got the pieces I have. The owner has several first-gen Lincolns. Unfortunately, the mechanical parts and the jamb and frame are not the same.

Thanks for the response! Picture was taken before I put it on the frame table and pulled and tugged. To your point, it did relieve a lot of stressed and flexed areas. Unfortunately, moving forward I have to either attempt to fix, fabricate, or replace. I did harvest a 41 Continental panel but...

Friends Need some help before I start surgery. I'm working on a 40 Lincoln Zephyr Continental. Please see picture. Help! Brad

I echo the earlier reply. People's ears sometimes close when you ask about 'ethanol-free-gas'. Instead, be looking for 'marine-grade-gas'......two different ways to say the same thing! Brad

Bob Doesn't hurt or cost to break out the BFH and start beating on things. I've been hosing things down on the bottom and top end with PB Blaster....so far, no change. I forgot to mention that I had disconnected the linkage at the ****** side....which is where I was relieved to find I could...

New project, many MANY things to tackle!! Today's question is this......How or what would cause the shifter tube mechanism to freeze in the back position? Effectively, I have reverse and first gears. I detached the linkages at the transmission, and can move into and out of all gears, but the...

V-12

I checked and front and back are completely separate. It came of a '46 Lincoln coupe.....and was really about the only thing left worth taking off. It had Ford script 94 carbs on it and the linkage was a little 'home-made' looking so I'm real sure how it all worked. Also, the fuel pump and stem...

Ok....some more research seems to indicate that the Edelbrock intake kept the front and rear carbs completely separate where the Edmunds did not? I assume this may be for the ease of adjustment/synch and not so much performance? Does that sound accurate?

Everything everyone has mentioned so far makes perfect sense. As I'm still tweaking/tuning, getting the car into comfortable driving condition, now might not be the time to start messing with dual carbs. My car has neither overdrive or a Columbia rear end and as I've not really had the...

Yikes! I think three is a little much unless you are going to look at retuning internals. The 12 I have in the car is a good running unknown, the 38 'rebuilt' in the picture is a 'looks right and notionally known'. I got this intake and carburetors in a pile of other things that I just started...

Vic, Nothing like smelling oil fumes, old grease, and gas all the while looking at the beach!! But it would probably be more fun once I get the Continental back on the road! Brad

Ok, ok , I know...... I'm a dangerous novice flathead guy that jumped into V-12 'technology'. Here' s what I got, what can you all tell me about it? I was thinking about putting it on the '38 engine. Thanks Brad
