    95-96 Mark VIII LSC HID headlight housings

    I recently acquired a spare set of HID housings, and now due to disastrous unforeseen financial circumstances as of today I need to sell them. The bulbs were given to a friend of mine, so they're not available. The drivers side is in great condition, lens is clear, reflector chrome is fine...

    WTB: 96-98 4v B-heads, or 99+ C-heads, or beehive springs

    Might be a long shot, but I'll see if any of you guys have this stuff lying around. Like the title says, if you have a pair of assembled later style B-heads or C-heads laying around and you'll let them go for a reasonable price, I want 'em. Or if you just have a good set of the beehive...

    "Downgrading" from EATC to regular HVAC controls

    I'm not a fan of the Electronic Automatic Temperature Control these things have. If it's summer I've got it on 60* with max fan or on max AC, if it's winter I've got it on 90* and max fan. It doesn't work worth a :q:q:q:q if you leave it on 75*, the only thing that's good for is a 2+hr road...

    93-94 Ford TSP (Service Manual) CD available online again

    I guess the title should say available for download, not available online... Anyway, I finally got around to making an ISO image of my TSP CD and uploaded it: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VS1HNZ6T You'll need to download the ISO, then do 1 of 2 things: You can burn it onto a CD with most any...

    96-98 Cobra Intake Manifold

    I have a 96-98 B-head Cobra intake manifold for sale. The upper is powdercoated black and has a new Cobra plaque (which is obviously not powdercoated.) It's stock, not ported or short runner. EGR block off plate included. Comes with only the manifold, I believe with a Gen 2 Mark you can...

    Mark VIII OEM HID bulb

    I'm probably gonna put this on eBay in a couple days, but I figure I'll give people here a crack at it if they want. Completed listings say $100-219, most around $170, I'm asking $150 +5sh. 3% discount for money order or basically anything but Paypal, but I do accept Paypal. Works fine, was...

    Front License Plate Holder for 1st gen Mark VIII

    Like the title says, I have a front plate holder for a 1st gen Mark VIII for sale. It's off of my black 93, I'm betting that NM will never require front plates... It's in pretty good shape, it does have a couple small rock chips behind where a plate would be, but the edges have been touched up...

    So what would cause this thing to explode?

    Pic attached is (most) of a crank reluctor wheel from my friend's 97 LSC. It doesn't appear to have done much other damage, fortunately. But the question I have is... why would a solid piece of metal that's not load bearing in any way just randomly explode? Oh, and since we're already at...

    Put the Mark on the dyno today...

    The car's a 93 Mark VIII, with a 100% stock motor (only mods that may have had a tiny effect on power are removed air silencers and muffler delete.) The guys running the dyno stopped the pulls at 5250rpm. My tach needle reads high by 500rpm, which I forgot to tell them about. So although my...

    17x9 Cobra R's rubbing and acting weird.

    I know my way around a car, but I'm not a wheel expert. So I took the 17x9 Cobra R's off my TBird and installed them on my Mark VIII. I like the way they look way better on the Mark, but I'm having some problems... First, they never rubbed on my TBird, but on the Mark they're hitting just...

    Strange trans. issue, doesn't want to upshift from 1st

    So my friend's 97 LSC's trans is acting weird. In Drive, from a stop, the car will stay in first until you ease off the gas (almost like a bad vacuum modulator on an non-electronic trans.) Then it'll shift into second, and act normal through the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts. When it's refusing to shift...

    F'in hoax!

    Yesterday I was telling someone how I was almost at 40k of relatively trouble free ownership on this Mark VIII (alternator, oil filter adapter gasket were all the problems I had.) Today I'm driving a 375mi round trip to Tucumcari NM. On the way I wind it out to the 130 limiter catching up to...

    Inertia switch needs to be reset after battery disconnect?

    Say someone were to disconnect the battery on a 98 base for a few weeks, then reconnect it and try to start the car. Should there be any reason the fuel pump cutoff inertia switch would need to be "reset?" I was under the impression that the only time it needed to be reset is if it...

    So how many cars will I put on a 5.0 TBird

    How many carlengths do you think I'll put on a 5 point slow Thunderbird? I'm in an essentially stock 94 and won't be spraying, AFAIK the TBird is stock too. The closest guess will receive one cookie. :D

    WTB Mark VIII Gen2

    I won't be able to make an offer on the silver 97 base I'm looking at because I'm gonna be out of town until next Monday, so in order to keep my options open I'll see if anyone on here is selling. I'm looking for a 97-98 in any color except green, base or LSC makes no difference to me. The...

    Bad neon brakelight on a gen2 and "how much would you offer" questions

    I looked at a gen 2 on Thursday, considering picking it up if I can talk them down from the $4400 they want to something reasonable. It's a silver 97 base with a few problems like the front bags leak, the windshield is cracked, and it made a pretty decent oil cloud on startup but stopped...

    How much do you think I could sell a rear for?

    I've got a rebuilt rear sitting here, I'm thinking about going a different direction with my car... It's setup with a rebuilt trac lok and 4.10 FRPP gears. 28 spline, differential itself was originally from an IRS TBird. I'd like your opinion on a ballpark range I could get for it if I sold...

    Gen 2 seats in a Gen 1

    Will they just fit directly in? Or what would I have to do to get them in? I have an opportunity to score a set for fairly cheap, front and rear. The search function didn't do me any good.
