Sometime in late 2003 I posted how-to's with pictures on here for the fuel door and parking brake release. I thought they were still on here somewhere. Full instructions and relavant part numbers (but a lot of it has gone obsolete fom Ford).
The vacuum switch is usually in place and not connected on 300B's, no longer on the shifter base by 2004. But the switch is the same as 98-02 Lincoln Continental with floor shift. In fact the guts of the shifters are the same, the lever height and mounting base are only difference.
And you can get the vacuum motor off of any 98-03 CV or MGM with the brake release. It's a grey cansiter that snaps on the existing park brake assembly.
