Re: Instrument (a/k/a Constant) Voltage Regulator

I always thought that 90 ohms would drive a gage to full and an open would drive it to empty.

Re: 1966 Lincoln Continental 2 door circuit breaker location

While activating the seat switch, gently tap the transmission housing with a hammer.

The solenoid mechanism needs to be cleaned and relubricated. There are a few threads here on how to do that, but if you take it apart and take pics, you can figure it out.

Re: Heater noise

If the automatic temperature works, it is normal.
These cars weren’t silent or perfect. They use crude analog electronics and often make small sounds.

I would not touch anything or take anything apart. Turn up the radio and ignore it. You’re more likely to break something.

Re: 1979 Lincoln Continental CS, Engine problems, Plz help

EGR and air pump only, really. The rest was just vacuum control such as timing delay valves, TVS-controlled cold air intake, Vacuum delay valves to the carb, and a few other I forget. Don’t forget the 79s had only the 400 two-barrel and was the weakest it would ever be. My 77 was the only 400 worth ...

Re: 1973 C6 inaccurate shifting - fluid related?

The vacuum modulator has a vacuum line attached to it. It is at the back right side of the transmission, visible from below if you crawl partway under the car. If you pull the line and fluid comes out, the modulator is bad and needs to be replaced. The line may also be cracked or rotted, It is a sho...

Re: 1979 Lincoln Continental CS, Engine problems, Plz help

They’re both there. It’s symmetrical. I am also scared that your friend reran the vacuum lines without bypassing or messing something up. These cars are notorious for the high amount of spiderwebbed vacuum lines for all of the various emissions and control systems. Everything had a purpose. But the ...

Now he has touched the fast idle cam settings, the choke cap, idle screw and one air/gas mixture screw on passenger side because he could not find the driver side mixture screw.
