Idle rpm for 41 v12

[tom nelson]

Hello All I am looking for info on idle speed for my 41 Lincoln custom limo. I have it set at 500 rpm at this time and it runs fine.

Back in the 70's The clubs feature was the fact that Les Keeton could balance a nickle on edge

with his car idling....The best v-12s, properly operating (like jim zephyr's 40 cab) run so smooth

and slow at idle all you hear is the generator brushes skipping across the armature commutator at

a lazy but steady speed..5-600 is about standard for manual trans cars...generator cut in speed could be considered

especially with a limo, with that huge hydraulic window pump...

lets see your car... I had one..168h-31-57 now resting at the Akin graveyard with it's kin..
