jord Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looking at one of the vendors and they list a cable to the carb and also a fixed rod. Which would I need the prices are high just for a simple cable assembly. Right now I have the cable for the old V8 engine which is very short. Or even a photo of both may help me at a local auto parts store. Thanks as always Jord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19tom40 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Here is a link to photos of a 1939 Zephyr that include engine compartment photos. It looks like there is a cable from the instrument panel to the engine compartment and a rod in the engine compartment. I don't think that you are going to find a satisfactory replacement in an auto parts store. The replacement rod for Fords look like they are too short for your car. http://www.secondchancegarage.com/classic-car-photogallery14/1939-lincoln-zephyr-conv/1939-lincoln-zephyr-conv.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry butcher Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Jord, I'am going to try and send to you a scan from the "Lincoln- Zephyr 1936- 1940 Chassis Parts List". This will show the parts used with a car equiped w/ HV12-- check our vendors on this site. If you don't receive the detailed print from the parts book , send me your "E" mail address to zephyr38@verizon.net and I'll send that way--- Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jord Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thanks to everyone,I did contact all our vendors and no one as any stock so I will for now go with the straight cable pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) You might try contacting some of the junk yards like Desert Valley Auto Parts and French Lake Auto parts. I am not sure which years interchange, but the May, 1946 Chassis Parts Catalog seems to indicate that the 1939-1948 should interchange, but Booze-Herrel catalog shows that the 36-39 interchange. I would check with a Technical Adviser with the LZOC. Edited October 6, 2018 by 19tom40 correct typos (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken/Alabama Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I've got two 39 Zephyrs here and both have cables for the choke and throttle. Edited October 6, 2018 by Ken/Alabama (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jord Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Ken, did yours come with the carb ball fitting or can I buy the end online somewhere. The spring loaded ball connector at the end of the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spring loaded ball connector at the end of the cable No they did not. What I did was cut the ball connector off of a rod then drilled a hole in the end to fit the wire cable in and crimped it on . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
