1975 Lincoln Continental Town Car

Mechanical fuel pump is non adjustable. Runs off of eccentric on the cam

Are you sure?

"Vapor Lock" is a much misused diagnosis. Which in most cases means, " It's something I do not understand, this sounds good, to "throw at you", cause you ain't gotta clue either!

What is going on on your end. Mega Detail is always welcomed here. Leave nothing out, what you have done (everything from messin' with screws etc.), History etc!

Got tuning tools? Know your way around your engine/ carb? A repair manual to reference by?

I'm old school. The rig you see me in below is 65 years young!

Carburetor--1975 lots of wear--Rebuilding is a tough thing to do correctly, proper tools, vatting parts, internal adjusting that must be perfect....still using worn parts

A rebuilt one has been picked over at the reman place, only good parts are used...you usually get a 1 year warranty......Slap it on and with the proper meters and gauges adjust the, already close, mix screws...set the idle speed and maybe adjust the choke.

Don't turn in you core till everything is good to go!....You may need brackets or the number should the "New One" not work out!

Unless the muffler system is "Clogged" or restricted, probably not part of the equation

Elaborate on the "Mechanics" abilities, history, references, "Real Tools" (That one, has pride and takes care of).....I feel sure he is not a "Business".....That's OK, to try to use inexpensive resources.....I do too!

THEY MUST BE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CAPABLE......Not just, "I an fix it, I can fix it"......Kid down the street with a go cart!

Sorta get a glimpse of me in this link

Allrighty Then!

Fuel pump does not turn. The cam in the engine makes it go up and down. Like a old water pump like in the kitchen in a turn of the century house.'Course the handle is inside the engine!

Can you send a pic(S) of the stuff you are referring to. Worth a thousand words!

Who's the "Head Mechanic" right now!

Your Turn

Before, I said eccentric on the cam---Sorta told you wrong!

This "Thingee" in the pic, is the eccentric that moves your fuel pump arm, up and down

Can't see the "Broke" in the pic, plastic bag kinda makes it hard to see.

Get it back on you might pump some gas!

Anything else damaged?

If you call around to some auto machine shops, might have a good used "Gimme" to replace yours!
