Lincoln Continental Accelerator Cable
The Lincoln Continental Accelerator Cable links the gas pedal and engine. The driver's pressure on the pedal converts to movement of the throttle plate, controlling power. The mechanism operates via a cable, linking the pedal and carburetor shaft. When you press down on the pedal, the cable pulls the plate open. With the plate open, more air rushes through the venturi, thus drawing extra fuel from the float bowl. Consequently, this makes a stronger combustion that propels the car. When carburetors were in use, every Lincoln Continental was equipped with a stranded steel Accelerator Cable that had a slick sheath. Some early builds also applied rigid rods. But the cable was lighter, snaked around engine parts more easily, and gave a smoother pedal feel. The front throttles on classic Continental four-barrel carburetors benefited because only the front throttles opened under light load. Then deeper pedal travel tugged this Accelerator Cable farther to awaken the secondary barrels for added power. With fuel injection came the same basic Accelerator Cable to link the pedal to the throttle body, proving its versatility. By regularly lubricating the Accelerator Cable sheath, any Lincoln driver can maintain the responsiveness of their Continental.

Lincoln Continental Accelerator Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and adjust the accelerator cable on carbureted engine of Lincoln Continental?A:To remove the accelerator cable, start by prying the cable end off the throttle lever using a small screwdriver. Then, loosen the accelerator cable locknut and remove the cable from the bracket assembly. Next, detach the screws and clips retaining the lower instrument trim panel on the driver's side and remove the trim piece. Pull the cable end out and up from the accelerator pedal recess. To disconnect the cable at the firewall, remove the cable retainer bracket bolts and push the cable assembly through the firewall from inside the passenger compartment. For installation, reverse the removal steps and ensure that flexible components are not routed within two inches of moving parts. Operate the accelerator pedal to check for any binding condition. Apply sealant around the accelerator cable at the engine compartment side of the firewall to prevent water from entering the passenger compartment if necessary. There is no specific adjustment for these types of accelerator cables, but it may be necessary to adjust the kickdown cable for the automatic transmission.
