Hi folks. I'm currently in the process of readying my 1987 Lincoln LSC for sale. Car was the first Lincoln LSC that Paul Becker (SVPU.com) had modified back in the early 2000's. I've owned the car since 2004 and as of 2009, hasn't had much use. The car was featured in an edition of Muscle...

While I'm saving up to get the electrical problem professionally diagnosed, I figure I would start prepping my A-Pillar Gauge Pod for Fiberglass, Bondo and paint. I'm sure it'll turn up allot more durable than just screwing down universal mini Pods. Any recommendation for Gauges that match...

Is there a manual method for closing the sunroof? I drained the battery over the weekend after cleaning out the car (left the doors open). Car would not accept a jumpstart or chargebox. Melted two sets of Jumper Cables and fried the battery. Seems like there is a serious dead short somewhere in...

Thanks for the heads up and advice. I think I'm going to try the Orange wire fix. It really couldn't hurt at this point. I found the tech article online. Minus the #15 Orange wire should I also ground the Black wire?

I went ahead and replaced the Ignition Switch. I now know what a Tamper Proof Torque Screw looks like :) If you have the switch aiming straight at you it looks as though the top two middle prongs had signs of heat/fire. The harness looks like it was wire tape from what I can guess on the Grey...

Since I've got the dash pulled apart and I seem to be rewiring, replacing or wiping down everything, i thought i'd address the slow turn signal issue. I noticed behind the headlight switches two mini barrels. Those look to be the Turn Signal Flashers? Whatever they are I don't think Ford painted...

pics? :)

Jeez you're quick :) Would this work? : http://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-switch-assy-ignition_f29z-11572-d.html Thanks for the tech article. Looks like it should be a snap to replace. You mentioned: "A ground is a ground is a ground. Find a small hole in the body near where you...

To be honest, I'm a bit frustrated and baffled at this point. 1. The absolute first thing I did was replace the panel dim/Headlight switch. Boy was it a mess. There were shavings everywhere and it was completely corroded. This is where it gets interesting: I went ahead and bought LED Bulbs...

OldSchool! Thanks for the info. Turns out, I have a 90+ Speedometer(120MPH). You know, I noticed that my AC climate control was buggy. I randomly rotated the key forward a bit and it corrected the problem. That and installing a new battery :) I'll try grounding the Orange and Black Wire first to...

Sorry to revive an old thread but I just pulled the cluster and dash off my 87 Mark VII to fix a number of common problems. The Headlight/Panel Dim switch and a number of defunct dash lights. I too have the "Orange Wire" problem with a non existent fuel gauge and jumpy RPM and Speedometer with...

I might have rubbing issues since my rideheight screw was lowered past the lowest factory setting. I'm thankful for the sub frame connectors because they're great for sliding across speed bumps :) I guess 275 40 17 with a 17X9.5 for the fronts is out of the question? Aftermarket (non...

Sometimes I wish with my brother would have ended up buying the SVPU's LSCR2 off of DoctorV8 :) Now that I'm restoring the LSCR-1, with worn tires/rims I'd like to go down a different route. Car : http://www.svpu.com/projects/LSCR2/LSCR2.html I'm currently running - 275/40WR-17...

Hi all. I'm looking for a pair of ready to go Dew Sweeps for my 87 Mark VII. This includes the sweeps attached to the trim. I don't have an area to work in to follow through with the tech article listed online, nor $500 for the dealer or $1-- (just for the rubber) for FleaBay. Let me know!!!
