Honestly, change the spark plugs. In a lot of cases that I have seen by having a fuel system go out of whack it can compromise the plugs and cause...
Ok, from what I remember, and I’ve owned a ton of these, the ignition key also opens the doors while the second key is strictly for the trunk. The...
I see a lot of 61-67 Lincoln guys printing their own reproduction parts simply because the aftermarket doesn’t fully support our brand of cars...
Hey, do you happen to know anything about converting one of these to power steering? The manual steering box is about shot, there is literally...
This master cylinder set up is neat! It looks like a 30/30 chamber activates this whole thing and this will also double as emergency brakes as the...
There’s an MEL engine in it. Awesome!
My old 4wd Lincoln was painted with Rustoleum flat black. When I mixed it I thinned it with acetone then added tractor supply majic hardener (just...
This is my Airstream. If you want one of these, best advice I can give you is drive around and look. I found this in Green Acres Az just north of...
All are good suggestions. I am a fan of using a leaf blower first then good ole nasty oven cleaner along with pressure washing it. For heavy rats...
If you do anything to the trans, DO NOT use type F. Prolonged Type F use will lead to the transmission slipping because it will eventually wipe...
It sounds to me that fluid was lost somewhere and you have air in the system, either out of a wheel cylinder or the master cylinder itself if you...

Brittle rubber can be a blessing. Many times it can be slowly chipped away using a screwdriver but you have to be careful and think of a good...
God, this Mark II of mine. The conditions for acquiring a car let alone building it are never right if you are going through life. I’ve had this...
I know this isn’t hamb friendly but I absolutely love Ram trucks. This is a new 2020 towing my 1975 Airstream. It replaced a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500...
Personally, I’m an international truck guy when it comes to older trucks. These trucks never struggled to go down the road like the other trucks...
66-69 they had a 2 door continental available. What’s funny is today they command a far less price than their 4 door counterparts.
1959 to 1960 and then on down to 1963 imperial. That was a rabbit hole into ugliness from what was the 1959 imperial and the ugly stick didn’t...
One thing you might want to check first is to see if the head gasket is the right part, defective as in not made with correct oiling holes, or...
I’m a new member from Phoenix Az. I’m mainly here to lurk the classifieds to find parts to put my junk back together. I speak Lincoln mainly but...
