I personally would pull it and rebuild. No sense in doing another engine/trans swap to an uncommon and expensive engine when it’s already been switched out. While you’re in there, the c6 is stout but check for leaks. Mild “rv” cam the engine. exhaust headers if there’s clearance. Mini-starter. Gm 1-...

I’m planning to get this tool for my F250. Maybe it works on Lincolns:

Hi, i''m starting to re-restore my '61 sedan and need to replace the windshield. The gasket will not survive.

Is the gasket situation any better than it used to be? I recall no one having anything decent and NOS was the way to go, but it looks like both RtRW and Steele have the parts now.

Converting to EV isn't for everyone, but it benefits everyone. Keep in mind that humans have spent decades figuring out how to deal with combustion engines, and only a few years figuring out EV. the California electrical shortage was mentioned, but don't forget that there's also been plenty of gas s...

If it were me I'd be concerned about how much less maintenance hybrids and electric vehicles need, and how that impacts the mechanic industry. Further, I don't know how i would be able to work if back issues started up.

What are your tires like? If they're something special for old cars they usually aren't as good in the traction department as regular ones. If you need limited slip regularly and for a good part of that 3 miles it'll wear out prematurely. You'd be better off finding a newer axle to use that parts a...

it sounds like the original limited slip diff is hard to source? Are there any successful axle swaps or recommendations? Maybe it would be easier to fab up a ford 9" than try and get the original Lincoln option working.

Fitech also offers a surge tank setup in 3 sizes. I have the large, single pump on a 390FE and it works well. You keep your mechanical pump to fill the surge tank, and there's an EFI pump to supply high PSI fuel to the injectors. I have an in-line pump on my '61 linc that came with a F.A.S.T EFI mas...

I have a '61 that has a 3 mile journey to get to pavement regularlly. I really want to do something to get better traction. What options do I have and what's recommended?

Are you still working on this? While I'm not a SQL or forum specialist, i'm a sysadmin by trade for the past 10+ years and would be willing to help. Alternatively, migrating the forum to a different platform that's self-monetized and hosted might make sense. For instance the FordFE forums are on tap...

Modern EFI conversions include pump shutdown. Most use tach signal.

Thanks. I've played with timing and setting it within 3 degrees of 6 has no effect.
oil is fine.
engine turns freely when some of the spark plugs loosened.
I've added grounding ribbons between engine, battery, body. i'ts welding cable.

Symptom: Starts fine when cold When hot, as in driving for a while, if i stop for gas then start it back up, it turns a few fan blades then stops. after a few trys the battery can't get the engine to turn over. If it's warm from idling for 15 minutes it will start fine, although it seems to strain a...

can you feel it? does it do it over bumps too? are your rear springs bad or lowered? Could be drive axle hitting the tunnel. Mines doing that now and i think i'm going to modify the tunnel where it's hitting.

I converted to EFI. It's been great, but required more work than expected, mostly due to having to deal with fuel lines. My pump is bad, so when I replace it I'll probably do a return-less fuel pump and not worry about fixing the return lines. the EFI systems available now are even better than the o...
