    Debating whether to keep air ride, need input

    OK, so I am at the point where I need to make a decision what to do with the suspension on my MarkVIII. The front struts leaked real bad when I got the car, then I got some used arnotts just to get it running, and those worked alright for a couple months, then started leaking again. Now my...

    Just got dyno tuned, couple q's

    I just got my MarkVIII dyno tuned. The only mods are a 5-speed swap, cobra intake, and straight pipes in place of the stock mufflers. It put down 252hp and 263ft-lbs, which I thought was pretty good based off what I'm seeing from other mostly stock MarkVIIIs. What is confusing me though is...

    Cobra intake, what do you do for the intake tube

    I am installing a cobra intake on my 98 LSC. The car is mostly back together, just need to extend the wires for the IAT and TPS sensors, and I also need to figure out something for the intake tube. I have a cobra intake tube, but that doesn't fit right and won't line up to the lincoln airbox...

    WANTED: 17" 03 cobra wheels, prefer 5x4.25 bolt pattern

    I'm looking for a set of 03 cobra wheels for my MarkVIII. I would prefer to not have to do the hub swap, but I will if I need to, or if the price for the wheels is right. Also, must be 17s, no 18s. The wheels don't have to be perfect as I am going to paint them anyway. Let me know what...

    Mach head unit into premium sound vehicle?

    The 10-disc changer is my MarkVIII is acting up and pissing me off. I never liked the idea of a changer in the trunk anyway, and I would much prefer a single disc cd player head unit. A friend of mine who works at a junkyard grabbed me one out of a 98 Mercury Mountaineer, only problem is that...

    How badly does an aviator intake not fit?

    I have some C heads sitting in my garage. I was looking into an intake to use with them, and it seems the aviator intakes are substantially cheaper than the cobra ones. I also know that they are taller, but my question is just how bad is the clearance issue? Is it something I could get away...

    Just changed gears, why is my speedo still accurate?

    This weekend I swapped the 3.27s for a set of 3.73s in my 98 LSC. I didn't have the correct speedo gear at the time, so I figured I would just change it out some time this week. Well after the swap it seemed like I was at a higher rpm for the same speed showing on the speedo, even without...

    Fuel pump and gauges cutting out?

    Ok, so my car did this for the second time this morning. I started it up to go to work, and I got about half a mile down the road, and it completely cut out. I still had the speedo, but the engine shut down, tach and temp gauges were off. The car started slowing down, and then it started back...

    Disabling telescoping feature on 2nd gen

    Is there a simple way to disable the telescoping feature on a 98 Mark? I had it where I wanted it, but then the switch went bad, and as soon as my battery was disconnected, it defaulted back to all the way forward. Does anyone know what wire(s) I should look for to put power/ground to to move...

    Junkyard score!

    I spent all day at the junkyard yesterday. A couple weeks ago I saw a 99 continental back there, so yesterday I went and got the newer style heads, cams, intake adapters, valve covers, fuel injectors, and coils, all for $100! So now I have a few questions. First off, what rate injectors did a...

    Rebuilt j-modded 98 MarkVIII trans

    The T45 swap on my MarkVIII started tonight. I pulled the auto out of it, so if anyone is in need of a good 4R70, let me know. The trans was completely rebuilt about 6mos ago right before I bought it. I actually bought the car from the trans shop that rebuilt it. It has all new clutches, new...

    Weird drivability issue, P1270

    My MarkVIII started acting up about a week ago, and I'm kind of confused by it. Basically under part throttle, it will often start bucking almost like it is misfiring or something. At first I thought it was the converter locking up too early cause whenever I would either get on the gas or let...

    Question about spraying pearl for the pro painters

    I need to repaint the front bumper on my Mark. Someone had done a poor job prepping it in the past, so all the paint was flaking off. I stripped the entire bumper down, and my friend's brother, who paints for a living, was going to respray it for me. Anyway, he's going to charge me a lot more...

    98 LSC grille question

    I'm repainting the front bumper and grille on my MarkVIII. The bumper I stripped everything down completely, did the needed body work, and primed it. I have the grille out, and it was painted once before, and they didn't use any flex additive, so its all spidering and flaking off in certain...

    Chrome MarkVIII LSC wheels

    I have a set of chrome wheels off my 98 MarkVIII LSC. They are the 10-spoke design. The chrome is starting to flake off near the center-caps. I don't know what they are worth, but if anyone wants them, make me an offer. If not, I'll be scrapping them. Here's a pic of the wheels on the...

    99 STS weird overheating problem

    OK, at the shop we got a 99 cadillac STS in, that has a weird problem. It overheats after almost exactly 30 mins at 2500rpm/highway speed. You can drive the car around town all day with no problems. You can leave it idling all day with no problems. There is no smoke or misfire or anything...

    Camshaft theory question

    I was thinking about something as I was driving home tonight. Our cars have 2 separate intake runners, one of which is closed under 3K rpms, right? We also have separate intake valves for each runner, with separate cam lobes for each valve. Why then do we have the same cam profile on both...

    Chrome 98 LSC directional wheels for sale

    I really don't like the look of the chrome LSC wheels on my 98 MarkVIII. For now I'm going to go with a set of XR7 7-spokes painted black, so I have to unload the stock wheels. They don't have any curb rash, but the chrome has seen better days. It is pitted towards the inside of the wheel...
