  1. Here is the paragraph from the manual.
  2. Do you have the service manual for Ford, Mercury and Lincoln 1946 thru 1948? If so page 210 has directions for removal and replacement for the ignition switch. I tried to copy it to here but it won't accept PDF format. A set screw holds the pull knob to the shaft. Then undo 2 screws under the dash and remove it. then see Ray 500 message.
  3. i took mine off to clean it as it is hard to see what you are doing with it on. It is not too hard to get it off.
  4. Both condensers can fail at the same time as it happened to me.
  5. Only 3 hours to go and bid only just over 12,000. Might have reserve.
  6. Dennis Carpenter has switches that look the same as CG although connections are different. Dennis carpenter states switches are for floor shift transmissions, CG does not say but they look pretty crude for column mount. Perhaps they are for firewall mount?
  7. There is nothing on the linkage at the firewall. I don't know if it could be on the steering column.
  8. Our 47 Club Coupe has back up lights which were likely an after market accessory. However, I cannot find the switch for turning them on when backing. I do have the wires in the engine compartment and the lights do work when power is connected. Does any one know the location of the switch and how it was operated?
  9. Thank you. My readings were quite a lot lower. Rebuild by Skip should fix it.
  10. Thanks for your reply. I do have the correct voltage at 2.8 to 3.1, but I am not getting a strong spark. When I test with my timing light I can see there is voltage flow but it is not enough to fire the spark plus. I had the coil rebuilt in 2017 (rather replaced with a 1940 coil. I have sent it to Skip Haney this time to be rebuilt and hope that works. I have checked all components of the distributor and points are set and current flows and is interrupted when the points break. Timing is set manually so will check dwell when the engine is running.
  11. Very creative, I will be interested to hear how it works when you get it running in the spring.
  12. I am having trouble now with the distributor in my 47 Lincoln. I have no spark and have checked the points and voltage to the connections and they seem OK. Now I am trying to test the coils. Resistance on the secondary side both read 3800 ohms. I can't see how to measure the primary resistance. Does anyone know what the secondary resistance should be? Thanks.
