Count me in as one shocked and saddened by this news of a man I have never actually met. Like many others here have expressed, I have gotten much...
I did collect the other bits out of the car that I took the transmission from for mine, but both the kickdown switch and the relay had issues....
I will add when I bench tested my solenoid out of the transmission, I just hooked one jumper cable to one of the mounting ears, and touched the...

A bit off the original topic, but as mentioned above the original version of Hot Rod Lincoln by Charlie Ryan was indeed talking about the v12...
Oddly enough, we found a bad voltage regulator (yes for the generator) causing my buddy's '48 F1 with the original flathead 6 to "cut out" on...
