    Hello Old Friends! I'm back with some starting Issues :-)

    Hey, Greg! Great to see you're back! I know personally how tough health issues can be! If you need help with anything, give me a shout- I'm getting to be a pro on these gen 1's, and I'm getting quite the mountain of parts to keep all 3 alive, lol

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Took the 94 on a Saturday afternoon road trip to Lawrence to eat at my fav restaurant over there (Quinton's). Heading out of town on K10 I saw a sign for Car Show and Dyno day, and lo and behold it was LSXKilr shop. Pulled up outside, and there it was - ONEBADMARK's black 96 sitting out front...

    Mark VIII Craigslist finds!!!

    http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/4520945040.html Went and looked at this car. It needs work. It's a rust free straight car (minus the front fender) that will probably end up a parts vehicle. He said he had turned down 750, but it sounded like he'd take 800. I drove it, and it shifts good...

    Alarm will not stop going off- cannot turn it off unless i pull fuse 6

    Not sure what year yours is, but my daughter's 93 had this happen. It ended up being a small water leak around the fresh air inlet under the windshield, and it dripped down onto the alarm module under the glove box and that thing went nuts one day. I pulled battery cables, etc. etc. and I...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Oh he got one. I spy. And mike in a gen1?? Something about hell and freezing over. That's what he said. In fact I think he said he'd rather push a Chevy than drive a gen 1. Lol.

    Been a while

    Yeah, I'm keenly aware of this fact. I'm looking for some G2's for him... Hard for me to do... Would it be impolite to call them the "Bug Eye Mark"? ;) Well, it WOULD be nice to see at night, but it's a price I'm willing to pay, lol.....

    Been a while

    yeah- In fact I think I still have some parts for you..... The "Company I'm employed by" never has gotten me back to work, so I'm putting all my energy into my IT company. Apologies for LONG delays in getting parts out. All my energy is being spent on my future. In fact, my 94 has been...

    Variable Assist

    Someone may have changed the rack and got the wrong one. Local parts house gave me the wrong one, probably for a t-bird, for my Wife's 95. Stiff after changing. Told the wife to live with it because changing that rack is a B***H!

    Possible NEW OEM Replacement lights?

    OK, so in response to these statements: Here's the deal.. Recreating these lights is expensive, and, unless you're an autocad auto designer, probably illegal if all you are doing is copying the part by making new molds from an original Ford part. Engineering injection molds is expensive, and...

    Possible NEW OEM Replacement lights?

    That's why I'm going the re-chroming route. Talked to the company today, he's interested, but wants to see a photo of a disassembled unit, which I have in my parts shed. I'm going to fire that off to him and he said he'd get back to me next week. He did say he would want to do runs of 50 or...

    Possible NEW OEM Replacement lights?

    Well, I'm looking into the next best thing- either plastic chroming or vacuum metalization of old housings. There's an outfit here in KC that does this process. I know someone who's a master at making Mark VIII headlamp lenses look like new, so I'm looking into the re-chroming process as an...

    Purchased a W3Z2...

    I'm happy with my z2. It did wake the car up a bit more, especially on no ethanol premium. I'm going to go ahead and do the jmod on my car, if for nothing else, longevity of the trans. It could still stand some slightly stiffer shifts, although the z2 did seem to help some.
