Got back to work yesterday on the Lincoln. The 1st thing we did was install the gas return line. We still have to make the soft connections on each end but the line is back up under the car. Then we installed the cab linkage, gas pedal, and all the linkage between the pedal and the carb.....
After that we installed the hood release handle and under dash bracket, got the hood opening.....
Then after lunch we installed the brake booster, master cylinder, all the hard lines in the front of the car, filled the reservoir and bled the brakes.
We also got the windshield wiper cord run through the dash and firewall and connected it to the wiper motor. (sorry no pictures)
I did have a question. The brake pedal, after bleeding has good pressure but does not pop up by itself. Not sure why. I looked in a couple other lincolns and there are no springs to help with the return of the brake pedal. Any idea why the pedal stays down?
