The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Where to get a OD solenoid for a '49 convertible?

The operating rod length maybe different for the T85 R11 or possibly the older design transmission on the Lincolns. It's good to know that it is a matter of the degree of offset for the operating rod tip. I had previously thought it was length so that's one thing to note for future reference. Thanks for the info.

I'll have to do some research on this since 5th Avenue IG has the convertibles and station wagons listed as 1.5 ". If this is incorrect, then they need to change the information.
