Hello all, Much to my dismay I have to sell my Mark. Color is Midnight Opal (was) with a black interior; equiped with all options minus CD changer/player. Leather is in great shape and shows very little wear. Runs and drives like a champ once fully warmed up, has no transmission slip and...

Wow, that's a lot! And I though new glass was expensive! Did they say it would be a factory replacement part, or something they would make up. From my understanding, Lincoln had a zero tolerance fit for the rear glass.

So has anyone came up with a decent method of fixing the dreaded lasagna rear window seal? I once read the seal is unavailable separately from the glass; is this still true? Anyway, let's hear some of your creative ideas on the subject!

Hello, everyone. My climate control is acting up on my '93. I think I have a vacuum leak somewhere because when at idle or slightly off idle, everything works fine. After 1/8th throttle, the climate control moves from the vents to the defroster (which is the default setting for safety). I...

Sounds good. Looks like my goals will be changing. Most of my research is with tradtional 2v pushrod engines. Having fun the the 4v DOHC is my next research goal. But it it also apparent there is no replacement for displacement, so I need to keep that in mind considereing I really don't want...

So that brings me to my next question: What combinations have brought the highest torque curves in the dyno pulls and still be a reliable, streetable engine? N/A of course.

I completely agree with Dr. Paul. Torque is what gets you there, HP keeps you going. I have a '73 Bonneville that weighs 4600 lbs, but with the 400 Pontiac being a torque master, it will beat a lot of stuff out there. Especially if you load the chassis properly. Torque is king...

I have definately considered all of these things. I don't know if I really want to swap gears or the torque converter, but I will do everything else. My first mods will be the exhaust, chip, cold air intake, modified intake tube, throttle body, and all of the tranny updates including the...

So have you done your votage tests? Have you checked the ohm signals and votage signals from your MAF and TPS using an accurate DVOM? Have you checked for drains, shorts, corrosion, bad solder joints, bad pins, internally corroded wires? Have you checked your reference voltage from your...

Well, guys. Thank you for all of your input and suggestions. Cost is a consideration when doing anything, especially if it isn't worth the gain. But a couple of you did hit it on the nosey when I was asking if it could be done. I understand about upgrading the rest of the drivetrain in the...

:I I think Mr. Wilson should take an automotive course at a vo-tech this summer. Mr.Wilson--you should really consider this. All of the questions you ask involve systematic approaches to problems most people don't think about. You keep mentioning these codes: Do you know what these codes...

So, Mr. Wilson. If your car is only missing "off idle" when it is cold, what does it do when it is warmed up?

I've noticed my Mark likes to be warmed up before getting on it. That's just how fuel injection is until it warm up completely. When first started cold, your engine runs in what is called "open loop." This is a basic factory program that tells the computer how to run your engine until it...

Hello, everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know my '93 MarkVIII is doing great since I picked it up in January. I have some modifications in store for it along with a new paint job, but other than that, everything is fantastic. My question to everyone is this: Besides installing a...

I was thinking about doing a similar thing to my old dirt bike using a nitro powered ducted fan engine for an R/C airplane. I bet it would work too!

You will have to remove the front plate if you have one on and then drill out the rivets. Just use a drill bit that is a little bit larger than the center hole in the rivet. This will allow the drill bit to work it's magic on the part of the rivet that you can't see. If you select the correct...

I think you should go for the General Lee look myself!!! That would be sweet, especially if you got the horn and everything!

You also might check that you didn't distirb any of the vacuum lines under the dash for the vent controls. Just a thought.

I agree with getting a new plug. However, if you haven't soldered before, and it sounds that way, you might get a friend who knows how show you some tricks and techniques. You should also practice your own soldering technique on the same guage wire as the plug to get the hang of it. Soldering...

We have Sirus where I work. I sell Sirus equipment and service to my boat customers. I just know first hand how well their customer service works and the great selection of music they currently offer. They recently added about 12 new channels and some other features. A guy I work with has XM...
