Update..... I did in fact make it back up to look at the Lincoln again. It is a mark V, which according to my research was make from 1977-79. It has rear disc brakes and should have a 9" rear end. The best part is it is free, the farmer said he wanted it out of there a long time ago but couldn't get a scap iron man to come get it. Now all I have to do is find two wheels and tires to slap on the back so I can get the car on the tilt bed trailer.
The gear set in this diff. should be either a 2.73 or 3:1, which is plenty low (numerically). However, the punkin in my 66 F**D pickup is a 3.50 which is closer to what I was looking for, so I may end up swapping punkins. I don't pull heavy stuff or haul a lot with the F**d, so barring any differences in axle splines this might be the thing to do.
I didn't look at the master cylinder/booster but I'll bet I can get it to work. Now all I have to do is round up the $$$ to convert the fronts to disc brakes and run new lines throughout, and I should be able to stop on a dime.
BTW, how do you measure what size wheel pattern is on a vehicle?
Thanks again as always for help and ideas....
