  1. I believe the 1951 factory chassis manual ( not body manual ) shows all the heater parts. Does anyone have the chassis manual and if so could you look in it to see if the heater system especially the core box, core and related parts are shown in it ? I would pay for a copy of that page if possible. Or post a scan on this thread ? Thanks. John

  2. John, try the Lincoln/Mercury old parts store. They have the '51 owner's manual, $35. phone # 888-500-9717. A 1949-1951 ( 800+ page) shop manual may also be available ? The owner's manual just gives a diagram of the heater/vent system and doesn't give any specifics as far as adjustments to the complicated dual control cable system. Good luck.

    Does the owners manual show the heater core and if so does it show a plate covering the air outflow side of it ? Could you copy the page showing the core and core box ? Thanks. John

  3. See photos of tank, cap and fuel cock. The sender is a 12 volt Stewart Warner. There is no rust in or on this tank. I mentioned earlier that the tank was dent free and that isn't true. There are some small ones in it. The nice thing about these tanks is that the fill opening is large enough to allow you to reach into it for cleaning or other work. I don't believe these tanks are reproduced. Can anyone use it? Thanks. PM me if interested or to ask questions. John Worden

  4. This tank was an auxiliary tank in a customized 1951 Lincoln Cosmopalitan convertible built in Arizona in the late 50's The car has been in use in Arizona until I acquired it last month Augest 2011 I don't need the tank and have removed it from the car. It is a high vent type probebly suitable for mid and late 50's Porsche 356 A S.W. fuel guage sender has been relocated rearward and to the pass. side. The outlet has also been relocated to the drivers end from the middle of the tank floor. Other than that the tank is clean, black in color and dent free. The cap shows a small amount of surface rust on top. A nice KARCO fuel cock is included. The sale of the tank will help me purchase some new tires for the car. I hope to have some photos of the tank, cap and cock posted here tommorrow Wednesday. I want $250 for the tank, cap and cock. Shipping additional at actual cost. Thanks for your patiance.

  5. Shop manual specifies 820x15 super balloon tires. What would the width of the whitewalls have been from the factory? The heater core has a plate attached to the outflow side that would prevent fan blown air from passing through it. What's that all about? Need passenger side chrome grill assembly for the kick panel. Thanks. John

  6. I have a 93 Caprice wagon with the same problem. The vinyl wood grain is peeling off the moldings. Some time ago they were available from GM for a high price each. I doubt that they are still available. Try salvege yards. I plan to remove the wood grain vinyl from the moldings and paint them a color that goes well with the wood grain main panels. john
