    Gen 1 console ashtray insert

    Anyone got a spare they'll part with? The thing wound up mysteriously missing, I suspect the industrial vac with the big hose at the carwash to be the culprit. :mad: Just the part that you take out to empty. I did put a WTB in the parts section, but not even a nibble. :(

    WTB: gen 1 Mark VIII console ashtray insert

    Just the part that slips right out to clean, where you put yer butts. No idea what the hell happened to mine, think the culprit might be that industrial vac with the huge hose at the carwash. :mad: Just send a PM, thanks

    WTB: nice Gen 1 grille

    Lincoln emblem on mine is okay, but the chrome's about a third gone. Thought about painting it black, but I really like the stock look on a black car. Please PM me if you have one, really hate the idea of spending almost 400 bucks on a new one from Tasca. :eek:

    Alaskan Gen 2, member here?

    Last week I was doing a service call here in Butte. Was cruising up Harrison in the glass truck, and spied a really nice looking red Gen 2 in the parking lot at Wells Fargo. Blew me away, because the only Mark VIII I've ever seen on the road here in Butte is my own. Today, I wound up behind...

    Holy Carp, Batman!

    Sorry in advance if this has already been posted here ad nauseum, but this clip blew me away. It's a 10 second black LSC coming outta the hole like an avenging angel and totally skanking some kid in a Nissan 370Z. I showed it to a coupla guys at work who rib me sometimes about driving "an old...

    I love my local carwash-lube place

    Had the Mark over there this morning, was tired of the "Oil change overdue" thing slappin me in the face everytime I fired her up, and then me hitting reset and saying "I *KNOW*, quit pestering me!" Pulled up in the line, and an older guy that was in the line just behind me approached me, and...

    HID ballast access

    Think it's finally about time to wire in the VME lights I picked up some time back; tired of only having high beams. Bought a set of delrin adaptors from DLF awhile back, only to discover that I don't need them (car has the HID housings, but a standard halogen bulb twists right in there? Haven't...

    When it rains it pours

    (Insert bad nasty expletives of your choice) Yesterday sucked. Sucked HARD. Got up in the morning to go to work, noticed that the computer was blown up. Sucker wouldn't boot, pretty sure either the HD was toast or the power supply (again), and it was a bottom of the line cheapa$$ compaq...

    UCAs from American Air Suspension

    Need to order a few things from Eddie (rear air springs, solenoids), and will be needing to get both UCAs too. Does anyone have any experience with his? The brand isn't specified on the website, and the predominate opinion here seems to favor Moog/TRW parts.

    Teh Seat Went Berserk

    Got my Mark back from the mech yesterday; they'd hung that new/old door off the wrecked '95 I'd picked up in Helena. Yay, no more "Butte Look". First thing I notice is that while the left side remote mirror does work remotely, it has a shudder/vibration to it while adjusting that it didn't...

    Lincoln Music

    I think it's interesting how I got back to the States from Germany, one of the songs stuck in my head (lots, still don't hurt) was "Major Tom, Reprise" from the German musician Peter Schilling. I had that in Germany on vinyl, name of the album was "Error in the Machine". So imagine my surprise...

    Anybody need a sunroof (just the glass part)?

    I bought one in good shape on fleabay some time back for 90 bucks, only to find out that it doesn't fit because it's factory and the one I broke in my car is aftermarket. :shifty: :Bang It came out of a '96, and I'd sell it to a fellow member in need for a good price. Or better yet, trade it...

    Finally christened. Meet Al

    When I first joined LVC, I posted a coupla pics of my ride, being a firm believer in the "Pics or it didn't happen!" philosophy. Here's one: One owner, was love at first sight, love at first long drive, and still love at even a short trip to the supermarket. In the process of replacing...

    Gen 1 - Fuse 10 blowing

    Well, I figured out the cause of that ABS light staying on. I noticed I hadn't heard the air ride compressor running since then either. I noticed THAT after I went out to the car after work to drive home and noticed the left rear corner was slammed, and firing it up didn't help - no compressor...

    Scanner advice

    Been learning a lot here on this forum, hat's off to all of you! My Mark is the first car I've owned that was computerized (last ride was a '73 Econoline van with a 302, drove it for 12 years. Life was much simpler). :lol: Today my ABS light came on, and I also noticed that the traction...

    Interior detailing question

    Is there a leather restoration product made for black leather that'll darken up those tiny scratchmarks (probably from the previous owners canine copilot)? Next sunny weekend I want to pull the seats, repair the trim strip at the bottom of the drivers seat, cherry out the leather, and give the...

    Got called back to work today

    Got a ring from the boss last night, was at the shop with my tools at 8 this morning. Very full, busy day. Been laid off since January. I'm bushed, but happy. Now I'm gonna start getting real paychecks again, and be able to work on my LSC, which I've christened Black Betty. First thing will...

    Finally started taking stuff apart...

    ...to change the spark plugs! Holy carp, I'm sure it'll be easier the second time. When putting things back together, I noticed something that concerned me. On the air cleaner outlet tube (which I had to remove along with the resonator to get at the plugs), there is a fitting that looks like...

    Dipstick question

    Man, I feel like a dipstick posting this. But I've hunted through documentation, google searched for images, searched under the hood repeatedly, and now I'm all GRAAARRR. :Bang I cannot find anything that resembles a transmission fluid dipstick on my '96. Is there one? If not, could some kind...

    Trunk CD changer

    Got around to checking it out (the radio stations here suck), and when I push the CD switch on the radio it looks like it's scanning track one, moving to the next, wash, rinse, repeat. No music. Radio works fine, haven't tried out cassettes. Yes, I put music CDs in it. :p Does it just need a...
