  1. The mounting bracket will have a part number. That will tell the story.
  2. Does anyone have a copy of the article that was written several years ago about how to convert the V12 to a rope seal in the rear. The article gave the dimensions of the crankshaft and the part numbers of the seal retainers.
  3. Same dimensions as the V8 Ford. Definitely not worth the cost of doing it. If the rear main bearing clearance is set on the tight side of the specs it won’t leak. Also use a stock 8 BA Ford oil pump. More than adequate.
  4. Should have emailed me much sooner. I had a dozen or more but now they’re all gone. I have sold off all my 39 Zephyr parts.
  5. You can take the rod out and it won’t make any difference. The bushing is what gives you the oil pressure. The clearance between the rod and bushing makes zero difference.
  6. And you’ll crash your Columbia! Anytime you pull or push the overdrive cable make sure the clutch is pushed in until the shift is complete. Never activate the overdrive knob then push the clutch.
  7. A Ford axle will work just fine. 42-48 Ford is the same length as your 48 Lincoln. I had NOS 39-41 Ford axles in my 39 Zephyr.
  8. Save yourself some headaches and take Mobileparts recommendation.
  9. I can rebuild your starter. I have an armature lathe and growler and other means of testing and rebuilding your starter and generator.
  10. Fit all the fender welting with holes or slots and mark each piece as to their location . Then remove the welting and paint it off the car. Same with fenders. Done it like this more than once. Have never added any flex agent to my paint. Never an issue in the last 25 years.
  11. Dave, it’ll come out with some persuasion. Not one of the easiest task I’ve done . I’m assuming you have also removed the door lock cylinder from the door. Also remove the mechanism from the inside door handle . It takes some pushing and pulling to get it out.
  12. I made a new shaft from clutch cross shaft and bushings. Same size as the Zephyr pedal shaft.
  13. The top cover ,the wider one is from a V8 Ford. The narrow one is correct for the V12
