    Introduction and Mark VIII Manual Swap + Progress

    Drove it up and down the driveway to test out the new transmission. Will get an SCT-tuner and tune it so the computer will stop thinking it's an automatic. The O/D light doesn't know what to do, haha! Will post some pictures when I can get some good shots

    Hey all, purchased this 1986 Turbo Coupe April 2nd. It's California car with just around 80k on the clock (30k on the Ford Motor-sport speedometer which replaced the stock 85 mph one at about 50k). So far, I've had to replace the fuel-pump (I suppose that is to be expected since it was...

    Introduction and Mark VIII Manual Swap + Progress

    More updates and progress! We are working on getting a nice shift-knob along with some fun novelty ones. The "wood" one (can't tell if it's real or fake) is nice, except the clear-coat on the pattern itself wore off. I'm thinking about buying a shift pattern plate off of online and glue on...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    I discovered that I wasn't able to move the transmission out of park. I did some research and found out that the neon ballast likely caused fuse #32 to blow. I disconnected the neon, replaced the fuse, and it worked again.
