As do I Victor, would gladly trade them for '41s (hint hint) Rolf
-
Just one of the few factory/dealer options of the times, Victor, I happen to have a nice set of '39-'400-s at the moment, here is a picture of the set, Rolf

Well live and learn, I had never heard of any prewar 3 bolt base 2 juggers, but I was only 7 years old then, and didn't know a Lincoln Zephyr from a tinkertoy, and Vic Edelbrock I thought was not much older than me, but he must have knew what was happening, even if I didn't, or he made 3 holers after the war, as well as 4 holers, who knows, anyone?? Rolf

And God forgive me for using a big word, Rolf

God Bless You Dave, for finally cutting to the chase, and getting me out of this morass, I do not own an authenticity manual, and am not sure I believe everything attributed to it but have a hunch this guy will, again thank you, Rolf

I am tiring of this discussion, all V12 blocks were the same basic casting, the only differences listed in the parts book is the different bore sizes, and internal changes for hydralic valve lifters between '36-'37, and '38 and '39 having 96H dwsignation, the earlier's HB, then 06H for '40 and '41, 26H for '42, but used in early '46's, as they were left over after the war, so some '46's had them, then a 26HB, that was used from '46-'48 with the 2 7/8 bore, the 2 carburetor manifold you are fortunate enough to have is a rare aftermarket item produced by a number of speed equipment companies, it should have a manufactuers name, like Edelbrock, Almquist, etc etc, stamped on it somewhere, Lincoln never made one for the V-12, and I am unsure if any were made before the war, so your maanifold is definitely a post war speed equipment item, meant to use the late postwar 4 bolt mounting carburetors, which did not have script, tell him about your 2 jugger Jack whew, I am going to go have a drink, Rolf
-
1940, 16H for 1941, 26H for 1942, many parts without the appropriate designation may indeed be correct for a later year, the 06H carburetors for instance were correct for '40 to '48
-
Oh yes, almost forgot, the VIN of the car the transmission was originally in, is stamped in the boss above the clutch inspection plate, tell us the number that appears there, and we will be able to tell you the year of the transmission, they do get mixed up, this one I sold was out of a '41 Continental convertible, but the transmission case had a 1942 number on it, and 25 tooth gears, go figure?? Rolf
-
Dave, you can't easily tell one year V-12 from another, the only tip-offs are the accessorys, and a few strange anomally's like 5EH starters, right guys?? Even the judges in car shows will accept any V-12 in a Lincoln, as long as all the accessorys are year-correct, if you have an overdrive transmission, they are available only in 1941-'48 Lincolns, and the '41 will have 26 teeth on the front gear of the cluster gear, whereas the others all have 25, hope that helps,here is a picture of a overedrive transmission I sold recently, Rolf
-
This is my question Dave, am head over heels into these very carburetors right now, they are a Holley, designated 06H, have a 1" venturi, and a Lincoln Zephyr V-12 script in the teardrop on the passenger side of the bowl, they are like the Ford Holley 94, with the 3 bolt mounting, but a little larger to feed the more cubic inches, maybe someone can tell me if the 1942 had the script carburetors too?? the '46-'48 did not, and had the 4 bolt mounting, Rolf
-
We are depending on you to set us straight and provide a wheel Dave, come on now, don't be recalcitrant!! Rolf
-
You are right Diz, the book shows one for '38-'40, another for '41, correct me if I am wrong, but they will all interchange I believe, this guy describes the wheel he needs as a 16" X 5" Lincoln wheel with clips to hold on the hubcaps, thank you, Rolf
-
A fellow I have run into needs just 1 16" wheel to complete a set, he live near Detroit Mi, let me know, thanks a lot, Rolf
-
Oh my goodness, old "I'm going to do you right!!" Bill Norton, if you see him, tell him you talk to "Big Joe", on the computer, We were good friends for a while back in the '50's, , both had 27 T roadsters back then, Rolf
-
OK, Phil, just to beat the subject to death, I do not think any '42-'46 Lincoln came stock with 16" wheels, they all came with 15's, am I wrong?? Suspect someone put the 16's on your Connie, before they put it up for sale, and put the 15's on their earlier car, because they ride better, not certain, but it is indeed sensible, if not, please show me the evidence, Rolf
-
I think the guy Diz referred to is the one that makes patches for Fords, and many are similar to the Lincolns, and are very worth checking out, Rolf

Hello De Soto people, my name is Rolf, I have a friend who has asked me to help him sell his 1947 long wheelbase De Soto Suburban, it has been stored inside since 1966, has the original motor, needing a rebuild out of the car right now, and an extra Chrysler engine with 31K actual miles that will fit right into it, all kinds of extra parts go with it, as my friend has been gathering stuff for it over the years, so would like to hear from you, and any advice or comments you might have about this project, will try to get a picture of it soon to post here, thank you
-
Usually it is '48, as with those starter drives we just dealt with, but in the case of a road wheel, the book says '42-'48, tire size was 7:00 X 15", and they have clips to hold the hubcaps on, hope that helps, Rolf
-
Yeah Phil, it is confusing, I will try to take some better pics of them, but the center one is about 1 1/2 inches longer than the other two, and has slots for the center bars on both sides, the right and left one only have the slots on the inner portion, and fit over the bumper on the outer side, take care, Rolf
-
Here is a picture of the two outer guards, the rare center one is not shown, but is in the same condition, Rolf

Hi guys, it never rains but it pours, just bought all those carburetors, and spent all my "play money", and now I have happened on to a nice set of front bumper guards, there is a right and left and center one with decent chrome, not show quality, they show signs of pushing something on the front edges, but they are pretty nice, I have to turn them over pretty quick, to keep peace in the family, anyone in the market for something like that?? Rolf
-
Hi Phil, as far as I know, all of the basic chassis for all of the model H lincolns were the same for all body styles except the Lincoln Customs, which were a lot longer, I believe the WB was 136" or so, don't quote me on that, but all of the others were 125" including the Continental, except the '36 and '37's, which were the 122"s, but in my year of '41, all the coupes and sedans took the same fenders front end and hoods, and were very straight forward. Funny you mentioned Porsche, some "expert" was telling my son recently, that the LZ was copied from the prototype VW in the '30's, would imagine that would of been disturbing to John Tajarda, be well, Rolf
-
Hey Ace, glad you have re-amerged, what ever happened with the Columbia?? Rolf
-
Lots of Carburetors, no more Columbias, a guy in Kansas bought it really cheap, he who hesitates is lost, as they say, Rolf

That sounds like a good idea Mike, I will contact my friend Brian in New Zealand, and see if he can sound out the very famous Hogan down there about making a run of multi carb manifolds, probally would be pretty expensive, if there ever was an engine that can utilise them our V-12's are it, really enhances performance, especially at the high end, would anyone on here be interested in such a venture, either for just wanting a manifold, or perhaps investing or participating in getting them made??
