I own a 1966 Lincoln Continental 4dr with a 462ci v8 Engine. I was having problems starting after i gave it a tune up so I changed the fuel pump. Now it starts right up and shuts up. My carburetor has gas sitting in there and a local machanic told me its the carb. It needs to rebuilt or replace. Do u think its the carb and if so, whats my best carb to put in there? I've seen a lot of Holley and edelbrock carburetors. If thats the problem, what size carb should I be looking for? Hopefully its a simple fix but Im prepared to replace the carburetors!
Answer:put an edelbrock 750 cfm. carb on it and you will be happy, I run one on a 454 chevy engine and it does a wonderful job.
I have a 1989 lincoln continental thats a V6 3.8 liter 232 cid fwd car. I would like to make it rwd but not sure if i can do that. It clearly has enough space to put the 5.0 lincoln town car engine in which is rwd and its only like 2-6 inches smaller then the town car total length. If it is possible please let me know what would all have to be done and maybe the cost. Thanks
Answer:That particular car was one of Ford Motor Company's WORST vehicle ever made. As big of a Ford fan as I am, I'm only being honest. Head and timing cover gasket failures (which if unrepaired led to engine failure), transmission failures, air suspension failures were very common on that car. That being said, you are far better off simply getting rid of that car, and getting into an '86 to '87 model year Continental that already came equipped with the 5.0L (302) EFI engine and RWD, if the Town Car is too big for you. It may be a bit of a search, but the money you will spend will be FAR less than what you are asking, not to mention that you will end up with a much more reliable vehicle in the end. As with all Lincolns so equipped, save up your money for when the time comes to replace your air springs. That is unless you decide to convert to conventional springs. Hope this helps.
I don't have any power to the trunk. is it possible to release the trunk and open it manually without have power? does anyone have an assembly manual for a 1965 lincoln continental laying around that i can buy from them?
Answer:that person that answered Snootchie Bootchies don't understand how they work you can't open it that way. There is a manual mechanical way to open it you may have to jack it up in the rear a little but right around the rear wheel well should be the screw type mechanism that releases the trunk there is one on each side of the car. But you do need a book trying to work on it without one is not going to work there is a lot of functions to the top.
