Lincoln door latch adjust
On a car of this age you usually have wear at the door hinge and the door starts to sag and it will make it hard to open and close. Find a local body shop, they should be able to change the hinge with either a new part or a good used part to improve your door operation.

Location of voltage regulator
Most are integral that is built on to the alternator 1 modular plug. Some did have a external regulator 2 individual studs and 1 wire module plug. If it is that style then look on battery side could be on radiator support or front apron.

Idels normally then just starts going way too high
Sounds to me like you have a idle position sensor bad. That is common on a 302 Ford engine. Very inexpensive part under $40.00 at autozone and only two bolts holding it in. Let us know if you get it fixed. Thanks

Gas guage doesnt work
It sounds like a problem with the fuel gauge sender unit in the fuel tank which has worn out and gone open circuit and needs replacing. Access to the unit is usually through a removable plate in the floor in the rear of the vehicle. Disconnect the wiring connector and any hoses and then remove the securing screws. Replacement is done by reversing procedure.

Transs. slips after oil change
Some times on higher mileage cars your transmission will slip when you have the transmission serviced or flushed. The reason for this is that transmission fluid has detergents in it that help clean your transmission. When transmission fluid ages it losses most of its detergent which causes your transmission to become a little gummy inside. This gummy residue helps your transmissions bands and clutches to stick. Now since you have new fluid and new detergent in it it has cleaned away this gummy residue causing your transmission to slip. There is a simple solution for this problem. All you have to do is make your bands and clutches sticky again. Simply go to your local parts store and get a bottle of Lucas transmission treatment. Within a few day you should notice the slip decrease and totally disappear within 100 miles or so. I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
