Hi All,
 I've run into an interesting problem with my 84 Lincoln MK VII. The
blower motor wheel broke. No big deal except that a new replacement is
not available, no where no how. It's D-99 from Ford, none of the local
parts stores or online stores show a listing. I found one site that
listed Everco part# 2762. They cancelled my order saying the part was
no longer available. The local boneyards are no help because most of
them scrapped their older cars back in the Spring when scrap prices
peaked. One yard said they scrapped 2 Marks last week...Sh**.
 I've gotten different interchange info from scrap yards, they say
Hollander has some "funny" listings on this one. What is "funny" about
it I don't know. I have determined that the wheel for any 1984 or
older Fox chassis car with factory air will fit. There are a few post
84 parts that will work, but not all. MK VII through 86 is also the
same. I've posted to the Lincolnsonline forum along with a few other
forums and am coming up empty. Does anyone have a wheel or motor\wheel
assembly they would sell? I'll pay a slightly more than reasonable
price. I'm in northern Ohio and winter's coming fast.

What broke?  the hub from the stamped wheel?

take it to a machine shop that also does welding... they can braze and re-
balance it

Plastic, no weld.

Try NAPA.

Thanks Tom,
 It's not available from NAPA. That was the first place I checked
because they can usually locate just about anything. As common as the
Fox chassis car was I can't believe this part is so hard to find,
especially used. I can understand why it might not be available
aftermarket. The newest of these cars is 12-13 years old (18-19 for
this particular application)and a blower wheel usually outlasts the car.

I kinda believe the parts persons that you are working with are missing
something. I'm willing to bet that if you look up the part number for say a
Cougar or bird it will be the same as the Mark. I'm also willing to bet that the
blower wheel for a later Mark is the same as the one that is called for in your
84. Take your blower wheel to the counter and compare it to other blower wheels
for a later model Mark.

Tom,
 I'm finding out more as my search continues. T-bird, Mark, Mustang
Through 1988. Cougar to 4\86. These all have the same wheel and are
listed as N\A or just no listing. Dealer, all other parts stores
including NAPA anywhere near me, online parts sites included. You're
right, I'll probably have to pull the old one and try to match it up
with something.

In that case just go to a junkyard, you'll be able to find dozens of them.

It showed up 7 times on my news server. I just noticed a few more
duplicated messages. The Comcast server must have hiccupped.
