Thanks Joe, positive it will be.

Thank you, that was I was thinking but on a negative ground system, I’ve been warned to never run the + cable through a battery disconnect switch, ONLY the negative cable.

Well I received the disconnect switch this afternoon and I’m very impressed with the weight and quality of the thing. So here’s a question that I should know the answer to, but I’d like some input. My ‘48 Lincoln Continental 6 volt car has a braided positive ground. The body and engine are grounded with this wire. The round negative cable runs from the battery’s negative pole, then to the starter solenoid and then to the starter. Which cable should be routed through the disconnect switch?

I ordered the unit above tonight, thanks!!

Hey that’s clever.

Sold

Thanks Matt, yes those are everywhere, but I want a remote disconnect. Don’t want to do any cutting.

Can anyone suggest where to go for one of these?? Everything I see is for 12 volt, which would probably work, but I’m concerned about amperage.

Oh boy! Sure hope I don’t have to go there! 🤨

Actually, I spoke with Ed tonight, and he might have to go to northern MN the first week in October and he is planning a trip to CT shortly thereafter. Ed is a great guy and why not give him a call to discuss. Ed McCord at 847-830-7193.

Sure, Ed at 847-830-7193

As usual, great info my friend. Tonight I ordered all new grommets and bushings. They were pretty loose and After replacing those, I’ll follow your suggestions. Hope all are healthy by you!

Guys, need some help. I’m having a rough time engaging second gear and keeping it in second gear. Unless I hold the shift lever up, it will simply fall out of gear! Obviously I have a linkage problem here, anyone know the first place to start?

Thanks

Thanks, I’ve had both and while the 400:is a fine engine - the 460 is the one to have

Matt, great info and while I might come to you in a bit, I have come across a parts car that looks like it has just what the doctor ordered.

Greed had nothing to do with it; did I mention anything about getting a great deal? Did I mention money at all? He claimed he had rare Ford parts - plain and simple.

Hindsight is always 20/20. My point of the post was to warn others. Would I do it again? What do you think?

All, after posting an ad seeking parts for my newly purchased Country Squire station, I received this email that LOOKED like it was taken from this forum. The seller would not call me and when I asked for a picture of the part, he sent a picture of a beautiful car that he was parting out because a Canadian member wanted the engine. So if you get a response from someone on the forum, it might not be! Check them out! I almost fell for this one.

Yep, must be the same scum bag that called me. He talks very quickly and is VERY convincing, make no mistake about it. He also knows something about cars, since I asked him some question and he knew the answers. When he scammed me last year, he was for sure living in or near Reno Nevada. He had taken the name of Edwin Fenner. I’d love to see this crook behind bars

Thanks guys, I've had calls but no offers as of yet. I can't believe I'm going to let her go, but I need to do so.

Rusty, I bought the car this morning!

Thank you, I think I'm well priced for today's market, but its worth what someone will pay, right?? Its really a beautiful car.

Just did, thanks!
