If you look in this forums "for sale" section, near the bottom, I listed some Mark V parts. Included is a picture of a headlight switch. See if it looks the same, I expect it will. Obviously, I couldn't test the doors. but it worked electrically, and holds vacuum in all three positions. Al...

If corn oil is doing that to floats, imagine what it's doing to everything else. On the tire front, Lincoln used special wheel weights, no longer available. If you have any, save them for re-use on the outer rim, your hubcaps will not go over normal weights. They can use stick ons, but they may not ...

If you want pretty, you could probably re-shape it and add the trim and previously discussed tread, but that's less important than getting it functional.

I always wondered why Lincoln changed, but it fits on my car fine. The '62 cleaner has a bigger filter, so it seems like a strange move. I think most FEs used the later filter, so maybe that had some bearing.

Lee, I'm sure you've checked, will the '63 air cleaner fit your car? That is what is on mime, but it has a '63 carb. I've never seen one of those Carter 2Vs, but they may have a smaller size top opening.
Reason I ask, is that I think '63-7 filters are easier to source.

It looks like the pedal in my Mercury truck, I should have looked at that.
I was at the farm and checked my parts cars, one is rusted and broken, one is rusted and seized one has rusted to the floor and can't be removed, and one has gone missing. good thing you found that repop.

Or CVR, constant voltage regulator.
This may seem obvious, but some Lincolns have gauges some have lights, the senders are not compatible. Some suppliers just sell whatever they have, listings may be inaccurate.

Hank, I went and had a look today, at the closer car, it is a '57 Capri 4 dr. but It is junk, the hood is surprisingly straight, but every other part is smashed and rusted, interior is out, some parts still inside, but every window is broken, so nothing of value in there It still has an engine, but ...

I would suggest you verify the head gaskets with another mechanic, a second opinion is cheaper than a rebuild. A poorly stored car, in a humid climate could just have a lot of condensation, check compression, wet and dry, pressure check cooling system. Even if it needs head gaskets, that's not reall...

Somehow I missed this until now, but K&N filters come with a small grease packet to seal just this. Presumably, it is designed not to melt and run with engine heat, I would hope.

Every domestic vehicle I have ever driven reads empty with a couple of gallons left, but some are worse than others. The rheostat will not go any lower than it's stop, the float should be just above the tank floor at that point. It is possible for that arm to have been bent a little during shipping ...

Do not use thread tape, the sender needs to ground.

Probably not, if the float hits the tank bottom, it will read higher, if bent up, it will also read high. The float needs to almost touch bottom, but not quite, only way to adjust it is with a borescope, or some way to visually access it. When I fabricated a pickup for my truck, I had a scrap tank t...

If you take that latch off, put a lot of pressure on those 3 Philips fasteners, they round out easily. In fact, put some heat on the back sides, if you can.

I still haven't had a chance to look for mine, but that hinge area is likely to be rusty on them, that's very common. also, cracking rubber is common, but If one looks any better, I will let you know, it will be priced accordingly, but less than that one. But if you want something better, I won't be...
