    The Mark Shudders/ Hesitates at partial throttle

    Just buying the car a couple weeks ago, I have been observing different things. I hate the way the trans shifts, and when I am at partial throttle below 40/45 it hesitates and shudders with about 1/4 throttle, if I mash the gas to 1/2 or more, it goes away. I have a set of plugs and wires on the...

    My first Lincoln mod. The exhaust is very restrictive. Went to a local shop in Reno and replaced the pipes from the resonator back. Is that resonator a cat or just a resonator? The shop owner refused to remove it for fear of breaking the law. I wanted to remove it and do a true cat back, but he...

    Bought my first Mark 8 today.

    It has true dual and HIDs and chromeless bumpers. And the badge. I'll check out the seats. The man I bought it from was probably 85, so it may actually be a real LSC

    Bought my first Mark 8 today.

    What is the difference between LSC and normal? Are there any definitive ways of telling for sure? Or just a VIN search would do the trick? Thanks, driller

    Awesome. Yes, this is what im looking for. This car will not remain stock for very long. Any recommendations for places? Going to build an open road race/ speed week car. Did all Mk8s come with an open rear end? Is it correct that LSC have 3.27 stock?

    Since 1993, this car has haunted me. I grew up in a Chevy loving family. We had a Vega drag car. I remember seeing the article in Hot Rod where they took a bone stock Mk8, slapped some salt tires and modded the trans, it went 180. I remember the steel bar commercial, and then Ford decided that...
