    97 Lincoln Mark VIII Tune Up

    Only problems I've ever had from K&N filters (multiple vehicles) have been over-oiling, or not letting them dry thoroughly. Then they can get oil/water on the sensors in the airstream. I mostly have used them in off-road vehicles where they do seem work better than paper filters.

    97 blend door replace arm, or assembly

    Nevermind I think the part I'm finding is the lower arm, not the upper arm

    97 blend door replace arm, or assembly

    With the slot mod to the metal link, do you still need to replace the whole assembly, or would replacing just the arm that broke be sufficient? Also, anything else I should do while the dash is apart?
