some of the older/external add-on XM radio's were 5 volt powered and there are aftermarket USB -> 5volt power input cables availble at amazon. I know there was also a vendor selling 6 volt AM modulators with the headphone jack style input that would work with the old/external XM. This was on...

G.M.'s solution looks slick and if I had the know-how that's what I would do. Sadly I don't have his know how and the people in my Lincoln club warned me I didn't want to go 12v or Negative ground due to some of the more odd-ball accessories in my vehicle. I was lucky and was able to obtain a...

Welcome to club riff-raff, we have t-shirts. (Not matching or anything, but good enough to get past that no-shoes no-shirt sign.)

Yep, at least that's how I read it when I got partway through the registration. Really a negligible amount when you consider how much many of the items sold for, but money I could better spend elsewhere.

I was watching some of the Lincoln items in the collection, and even looked into bidding but I'm just too cheap to spend $150 just to be outbid by someone else (and looking at the final sale price on the items I was looking at, I made the correct decision.)

I'm pretty certain that will the last time the Lincoln distributor you rebuilt for me will reach that high an RPM. :D

Glad I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page, I was just about to grab my camera and crawl under my car. Not that I don't need to crawl under it still, I just don't need to bother with the camera.

I've pulled the pumps on my V-12 and I could not remember this "hidden" bolt you all are talking about so I googled some images of the V-8 pump. Wow... that was an interesting design decision, glad that bit of ingenuity didn't transfer to Lincoln.

I had the clock for my '47 Lincoln gone through last year by David Lindquist. It's the original 6volt electric winding/mechanical setup. David cleaned he mechanics, and "reflowed" my clock-face that had warped some over the years and had begun to interfere with the mechanism. No complaints...

Thanks for the photos and discussion. I've always been fascinated by the B-24, mostly because my Grand Uncle (that's a thing right? My grandfather's brother.) Piloted and was KIA'd flying one in the Pacific. (His was a B-24D-15 built by Consolidated in San Diego.)

Just to follow up on Terry's comment, the part number for the in-bowl filter is FRAM - CG3 Fuel Filter or NAPA 3039 (at least that's what I have in my notes.)

Take it easy there Seth. :D

I know I'm spoiled here in the california sunshine but I'd like to think if there was snow I'd still drive in it. It'd be nice to find out how well the heated seats work.

Most of the advise I can give has already been shared. But I'll just say what I have done on my V-12 even though it might sound repetitive. I've had the starter gone through at a reputable local shop. Cleaned all points of contacts for the grounds. 0-gauge negative cable. Optima 6 volt...

If you're looking for a shop, I can't say enough good things about C.H. Topping in Long Beach. I had them change the master cylinder and split the system on my Lincoln a few months back. Very knowledgable on vintage and customs.
