Sorry to say, but I’m not look for advise on what I should have done. I live in Europe, and there are very few shops that really know something about USA cars, they ask absurd high prices and often it is still not good. I rebuilt almost everything my self as I am an mechanic my self. A good friend (...

Hello everyone, I need your great help (again). My engine is finally running and my rebuild trans is also driving both forwards and rearward (clutches where glued together due to water in the trans). Now my power steering (pump) is making a lot of noise. Wenn steering to the right there is quit a lo...

Hi,

I'm looking for an original 1960 2 barrel to fit back on my Lincoln. It now has a 4 barrel, and is not correct for the 1960 model year.

Does anyone have a correct intake and willing to sell?

Thanks,
Ferdy

Thanks for your reply. That gives my thunderbird enough info to work with. It’s a non AC car, but have a 6 blade aftermarket fan witch I like to keep on for more cooling power. Already got that black painted.... maybe I’ll switch it to white. So now for my ‘60 Lincoln, at they the same colors? I do ...

Hello,

I have the same problem on both my ‘59 Thunderbird as my ‘60 Lincoln. What steel line do you mean? And was does it do this check valve? I thought it might be a over pressure valve?
Would like some more info in this, and where to buy new ones.

Thanks Ferdy

I have read a lot about the 430 MEL engines lately and came across a lot of photos. A lot of them have different colors on them. I believed that my '59 Thunderbird should have a all black engine with white valve covers and air cleaner, am I right? I also own a '60 Lincoln Premiere and will be pullin...

Hello everyone, Swapped the servo body with no result other then the tranny is complete again now. Also swapped the valve body, again not result. This is what we know now: Park: keeps the car parked and in neutral Reverse: does nothing, like neutral Neutral: moves the car FORWARD!!! D2 & D1: spins t...

Hi Chris, Thanks for you reply! I forgot this post and I am just looking at it right now. I found a complete transmission here in Europe and bought it for €500,- (about $600,-) with know info if it would run.... I am trying to swap the servo body tomorrow, and try to let you know. If I read your pos...

Here is a update about our car. Received the servo about a week ago, and it was not complete!!! I was missing the piston, spring and retainer. This one missed the retainer! So $60 spend, no solution. Bought a used transmission yesterday that was supposed to be out of a 60 Lincoln. Will be collecting...

We have worked on the car today. Started with adjustment check of the rear band, then the shifting linkage and wenn I put it out of park and into reverse, wheels where spinning.... FORWARD!!!! Took the pan off and after a while we discovered that there where two bolds on a weird place. After checkin...
