I have a 1947 Lincoln coup convertible. Where can I find production data for 1947 by model? Thanks for the help.

1947 Lincoln coupe convertible I haven't yet found a replacement vacuum pump. I do have a Trico pump with three orifices to which tubs are to be connected. Perhaps there are separate tubes for each window wash eyelet. If that is true, I can close off one, leaving one to feed the two eyelets. My pump only has two, one intake and on outlet. Trico and other companies produced vacuum washer pumps. Has anyone found an alternate to the Trico pump that can be used with the Lincoln washer reservoir jar?

First, I found the failure of the rebuilt wiper motor was not the supplied vacuum but disintegrated grommets in the arm joint connections that cause the wipers to move. I replaced those added a silicone lubricant and all is well. At idle 15-17 PSI is available and does work the wipers. PSI increases as rpm increases, obviously the wiper speed will increase. Now onto the windshield washer. Thanks for the reply.

1947 Lincoln Trico wiper motor What is the minimum PSI for the vacuum provided to the wiper motor to cause it to work?

My car is a 1947 Lincoln 76H Coup convertible. I purchase a rebuilt wiper motor. I am having difficulty getting the wiper to work. I bypassed the wiper switch, connecting the vacuum line directly to the wiper motor, and closed off the return line. No action from the wiper. Was this a correct method of testing the wiper motor? I have attached a picture of the wiper switch. There is a metal cover and a piece of cardboard. The two are meant to cover the holes at the top of the switch. But they do not fully cover all three holes. Part of an end hole will not be covered, depending on how you align the metal cover and cardboard. Should the holes be fully covered? When I turn off the car I can hear air escaping from the switch - as it is presently configured. I'm trying to determine if the switch or switch cover is bad, or the rebuilt wiper motor.

This interesting video shows the first step in getting your wiper motor to work before a rebuild or replacement. I recall but had forgotten that an old mechanic at a garage I at in high school did this quick fix before more drastic measures.

I looked at the diagram. It appears to connect to the screw on one side of the amp meter, then run through the loops to the other side's screw, and then to the ignition switch. Thanks for the reply.

I had a fire under the dash and am replacing all wiring harnesses. I failed to take pics of the back of the instrument cluster before removing all the charred wiring. Please see the back of the amp meter below. There are two rings (so to speak) on the back of the meter. The wiring scheme says to insert a yellow (thick wire, indicating a power wire) colored wire (the wire has a bare end, no connectors are indicated in the Rhode Island wiring scheme) through the two rings. The diameter of the opening of the rings is about 3/8"; the diameter of the wire is 1/8" to 3/16". I assumed there was an insert, fitting the 3/8" diameter rings, into which the yellow wire would be inserted. Boos-Herrel states there is no such insert that he knows of. Do I bend over the yellow wire several times before inserting the same in order for the wire to stay, otherwise securing it somehow? Thanks for the help.

Thank you all for the responses. The body parts catalog or manual does not list wiring. Chris Herril sent me a service bulletin, Subject 15999, that shows the general scheme of wiring, not a replacement for the wiring schematic one finds in the technical help site of the LZOC website. Rhode Island wire asked for part numbers to help identify harnesses applicable to my 47 76H convertible coup but no one knows of such a source. Thus far the continental harness for the engine, head lights, overdrive, heater, defrost, and dash have worked well. It is tough to replace a wiring job done by a mechanic or electrical service shop, particularly when new wires were connected to the original wires just an inch or so before the ultimate connection to the starter button, ignition switch, etc. which was the source for the fire under the dash. I am close to getting it worked out.

1947 Model 76H I am replacing all wiring installed some years ago, much of its scheme was not to original specs, and I, therefore, cannot rely on its layout. Rhode Island wire does not have information on this 76H model, but it left me with many questions to answer. If someone knows, please respond. The rear configuration of the corner lights, the trunk access, and the license plate light of my car looks exactly like the 1946 66H Zephyr sedan. The available wiring schematic 1. Was the brake light above the license plate or at the two corners incorporated with the running and turn signal light fixture? 2. Was the routing of the body harness connecting to the taillights and gas level sending unit across the inside of the trunk or under the car running along the cross beam? 3. Was a curtsey light in the trunk with a Mercury switch installed? 4. Turn signal wiring: Was there a four- or six-wire connection under the dashboard? Can a complete parts book covering 1947 Lincolns be purchased? Thanks

The serial number was taken from the frame on the driver's side. It is correct. I have a 1947. The grill of the subject mystery car appears to be pre-WWII. I am surprised I am not able to find pre-war years of production with the range of serial numbers by year. There must be and I am not searching well.

All I don't readily find serial number series by year of production. I have this serial number 6HI74322. I suspect it is pre WWII. Where would I find production years for the 1940s by serial number range? Thanks

1947 Lincoln convertible coup I need a source(s) for replacing my 6-volt generator. I purchased a rebuilt generator described as fitting 1942-1948 Fords and Lincolns but found the pulley would not align properly. The local shop was not able to remove the nut/pulley on my generator to rebuild. I do not find a key to remove from the threaded shaft. I do not find any type of screw or pin to remove. Can anyone tell me if the nut is welded/fixed to the pulley? If not, I can cut into the nut to remove it, or, at least, know what further steps to take to get the nut and pulley off. Thanks in advance for the help.

RE: 1947 Lincoln convertible coup I am in need of a carpet kit or an upholstery shop that has the pattern and can make the same. Narraganset is no longer in business. Kepich has ceased making carpets. Can anyone help? Thanks

I replaced the front wheel cylinders on my 47 Lincoln 76H convertible and found them to be cylinders for a 1947-1949 heavy duty truck, which I had to stick with because the connectors, 3/8 24 thread, would not work with the standard Lincoln replacement part. For $16.95 each, better to replace than rebuild.
