    DieselDan, no one wants to hear about your A/C problems!

    :p It's supposed to get down to minus five tonight here! And you're having AC problems? Cry me a river buddy! Of course I'm just kidding. ;) Just needed to vent and didn't want to litter up your thread.

    WTB: Second gen wiper transmission

    I would have posted this in the parts forum, but it won't accept anything other than "FOR SALE" as the title prefix. That needs to be fixed. :shifty: Anyway... I'm looking for a good clean wiper transmission assembly for a second gen Mark VIII. Needs to be rust free, and I don't need (or...

    %#@!&# YOU Mother Nature!

    This happened once before in 2011. Why I didn't move I don't know. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears to bring it back, and that flood was not nearly as bad as this one. You can see in this one where the water line got up to. So I'm done. I can't do this again. I'm...

    RIP Doug Fraleigh (DLF)

    I didn't see this posted here, so I wanted to share this terrible news for those who don't frequent LOD. I figured this was the best forum to post it, but if someone wants to move it feel free. http://lincolnsofdistinction.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?39877-RIP-Doug-Fraleigh

    Douchebag ebay seller

    So check this out... I'm doing my daily search for Mark VIII on ebay when I come across a listing for parts off of what is plainly a late 70s Mark V, but they're labeled as "Mark VIII". I send the seller the following message: Hello, I just wanted to inform you that the listing you have...

    Search tip

    While some of you regulars give new people a hard time when they don't search, the fact of the matter is, this forum software's search functionality sucks ass. For example it doesn't index numbers or anything under four characters in length. So searching for '764' or 'IAC' returns NOTHING. It...

    This just proves how hypocritical and stupid anti-illegal alien rhetoric is

    I've long said that if you want to put an end to illegal immigration, you need to punish the employers, not the workers. But if you do, it will come at a huge cost. A Texas state representative has found one solution: Proposed Texas immigration law contains convenient loophole for ‘the help’...

    Wrinkle finish on valve covers - bad idea?

    The title says it all. I've got a set of valve covers I want to have powder coated, but I'm debating what to do exactly. I'm steering towards black wrinkle finish, but I've been told they're a pain in the ass to keep clean. I've got the "Powered by Ford" COP covers in the shop right now to...

    Is there really a difference between years on A/C parts?

    The A/C discharge line on my 98 is being held together by rust and a prayer. It's the one that hangs down in front of the engine and gets the brunt of the weather. Rock Auto used to list one for 97, but not 98. Now I see the 97 is gone and all I can find is 96 and back. The picture for the 96...

    New paint + 1000 mile trip = disaster?

    Any suggestions on a temporary solution for protecting new paint on the front of my car? I'm going to be putting in about 20 hours of highway driving, mostly at night, and I'm terrified of what 1000+ miles worth of bugs will do to the fresh paint. Short of deflector shields from the USS...

    Anyone had Lasik surgery?

    I've been seriously considering this, but I'm most concerned about night vision. I'm kind of an astronomy nut and couldn't tolerate having to deal with flares and other distortions. Has anyone had any experience with it?

    From the Artist Formerly Known as TommyB

    OK, it's time for a confession. My name isn't Tommy. It's Mark Darrah. It always has been. I registered over here a couple of years ago following some ugliness between LvC and another Mark VIII site, and since I was an officer over there, I was afraid of getting banned, so I used a pseudonym...
