my dad bought a 50 ford back in the mid 60's. the parents and older siblings drove that car from Cali to the St Louis area where I still live today. My brother and I now have the car and resto-modded it and that was the original reason I bought my Mark VIII, to use the drivetrain and such to put...

I have seen the thread to retro fit the 2000 LS clockspring but saw this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-1998-Lincoln-Mark-VIII-Turn-Signal-Combination-Switch-Clock-Spring-Assy-/322300698663?hash=item4b0a9e6027:g:ByUAAOSwJQdXCwJK&vxp=mtr should I buy and use this or is it better just to...

so rebuilt the front end of my 97, new ball joints, A frame, bushings, etc, and when I put it all together, I was watching for problems and saw this. how do I fix this new irritant? any help is greatly appreciated

and the final part...

put the tray in the burn off oven at work (big oven used to cook off old paint) and then back to the sand blaster. has a few pin holes in it, but it is still a TON better then the none that I have. going to have it powder coated anyway, after the few holes, its in decent shape, feels rather strong

i started to sandblast mine today, it looks and feels pretty solid. more sandblasting to do then powder coat, black, to match my car. I work in a sheet metal shop and the engineers told me if I didn't like how it turned out, they would measure and draw up some blue prints. have the metal...

Well this is the best evap tray I could come across, was $65 shipped to my house. it looks rough but the metal is all there and intact. now I have to figure out how to take off the canisters (if anyone can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it!). then I can take it to work, sandblast, very gently, and...

I'm looking for a nice rust-free (or not badly rusted) evap/emissions tray with all the tubing, canister(s) and valve(s), with mounting bolts This for a '97 Lincoln Mark VIII if that makes a difference...

hello all! I have a 50 ford that I am putting Lincoln Mark VII LSC seats into. Originally I bought my Mark VIII for a parts car for this 50, but fell in love with the Mark so much, couldn't stand to do it. anyway I found seats in a local junk yard from an 87 (I think) LSC. I have the forward...

odd that this came up, I was about to change the rear airbags on my Mark!

wasn't to bad to do. used this as my how to. parts and all done for under $5! http://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-electronics/688297-how-you-can-add-aux-input-mp3-player-without-adapter.html

I like keeping my cars as stock looking as possible for the most part. That being said I added an aux port to my DD a 99 Grand Prix GT. Since it worked out perfectly I think I will attempt this on the Mark in the near future. As with this install I will try to hide the aux port as much as...

all it takes is a trip to get groceries, beer, anything to get a flat and be stuck without a jack. I'm just glad I noticed mine is junk before I needed it!
