Thanks everyone.I bought this overhauled engine on ebay a year ago and a few parts were missing including this float.I could ofcourse use the one from the old engine,but I preferre a complete engine , so I can start it up on the garagefloor, before installing.Birger

Hi.Anyone who knows where I can buy an oillevelfloat,LZ 39 engine?Thanks , Birger.

Where can I find bodycolors for LZ39 models.Birger

Sorry,picture failed.Dont understand set up for adding pictures to this site.Birger

cant tell you-but here is a original 39.Birger

Hello. I have had the same problem, bud I took the chance and cut pattern in cylinderheadgaskets to mach cylinderheads. Especially the triangle patterns in top of cylinderheads are important to mach on gaskets. Since then no problems at all, this year we had a very hot summer. We have both been idling and fast driving for long periods. This is not an authorised advice and I don't know if it?s harmless to your cylinderheads in the long terms, but I believe thermostats will minimize the risk. See this forum 03/01/06 1226pm. Best regards Birger

Hi Phill.Thanks for the help.The pics under "jens" are from 2006.I got a good talk with the LZ 38 owner, hes been driving LZ since his young days in the fifties.My 39 has untill now been driving all summer with only very few small problems,so I think and old car needs to be used frequently to be kept alive.The coming winter Ill restore all the instruments on dashboard as no one of them are working.Did you run your 39 this summer?Birger

Instead pics on "www.fordv8.dk" go to gallery and fotos mv fra traef.Biger

Has the setup on the forum been changed?If you press "continue" the mail is being send instead of showing next page ,where you before had the oppotunity to att. pictures.Birger

Ups ,I try again.Birger

A while ago , I promised to send pics of ALL the LZ arriving at the scan.v8 meet.Among 105 cars there where only 2,a 38 conv coupe from sweden belonging to Curt Envald and mine conv coupe 39.But here they are together.Birger

Hi. I know you have changed ignitionresistor, but the symptoms sounds to me, that the problem is still here.You can make an easy check.Drive the car till it starts cheating you,then bypass the resistor and see if it helps.Best regards Birger

My email:blakoe@fordv8.dk

Hello. Im interested in the stromberg 97.I live in Europe but have good contacts in Tulsa.How do you want payment and will you send to Tulsa? Best regards Birger Blakoe,Denmark

Hello.Does anyone know of a springspecification sheet for Lincoln Zephyr like the one for ford v8 shown on attachtment.Birger

Thanks zman.All leaves are there and noone is broken.What I need is specifications on frontspring lenght eye to eye and if spring stands on floor the hight from floor to point on middle of spring.Birger

Hello list.On my first long ride in my 39 lz(220 miles)slow and speedy driving in high sun and temperatures I had no problems at all.But I realised that frontspring needs to be "refreshed".The person who is gonna repair it need messures on unloaded spring.Distance eye to eye and arch.Any help will be appreiciatet.Thanks-Birger

Hello Phill.Thanks for your comments on my car.I promise to take a lot of pictures at the meeting,with special focus on the few LZs arriving.There should be a LZ37 3w coupe,LZ38 coupe convertible and a LZ4 door sedan and a L62 conv.Birger

If you happen to be in Denmark 30 june-2july there is a meeting for ford v8 ,mercury ,lincoln and lincoln zephyr in a city called Randers. Untill now 92 cars will be there(4 lz).Look at www.fordv8.dk Best regards Birger
