Even if the engine doesn't toast from interference, if it actually strips the teeth there can be big problems with the plastic bits clogging things up later. I had this happen on an 79 Olds Custom Cruiser with a 350 I owned long ago.
Lack of funds has made me an ambitious man  It's an interesting learning experience though. What's JAN rated?
ROTFLMAO!
It's amazing, isn't it? Sometimes I think I've got 3 loads on. Is it done yet?
D, a friend of mine had an old bug back when I was still in school. Clutch cable was broken, he had a pair of vise grips on the end and pulled it
Never ran GREAT, but he always got it started.

JAN= Joint Army Navy. A vacuum tube designed for the military, supposedly a more robust version than the civilian models. Most likely an RCA version of the $500 hammer.
Ain't made it out there yet, but that's next on the plate.
Vice grips are wonderous things, had a set I used for an accelerator on my '66 Chev van. Had a buddy who's throttle broke on his murdercycle, he threaded the cable through a spray attachment for a garden hose, taped it to the handle bars, and drove it like that.
A braver soul than I.
Good luck with your Lincoln, but I suspect that it's more than a lack of funds. I think you really enjoy pulling a wrench.
