I know that the people on this forum are in the know so I need to put a price on my rearend collisioned 93 Mark Vlll with 79,000 miles. I don't have the room to part it out so that is out of the question so any help will be greatly appreciated. The last pic. shows the Octastars, rear quarters...

Anybody know how to get a hold of Jamie who parts out cars? Thanks in advance.:)

I'm finally able to post, was rear ended last month while waiting for the light to change. This woman driving a Chevy pickup truck must have been on her cell phone and just slammed into me. Rear is totaled along with crunched rear quarters. I didn't have collision on my 93 with 77,000 miles on...

Just got back from Wal*Mart where I bought eight Autolite sparkplugs for the Mark. On the package of two there's a $2.00 rebate so eight will get you back $8.00. You're allowed up to $16.00. So if anyone needs Autolite plugs, now is the time so basically the 764's will be a little over a buck...

I needed a burst panel for the underside of my intake and no one in my area had one and most of them didn't know what I was talking about so I called Max and sure enough he had one and I had it in my grubby hands in a few days, Max rules, bigtime!!!:)

WTB I need a center cap for a Octastar wheel. When I had them installed the shop lost the "wire ring" that goes around the clips that keeps the cap tight on the wheel, now you can move the cap while it's installed. Naturally the shop says that they didn't lose anything. Thanks:)

Now my car started to sqreech on startup and while running and I mean loud, high pitch sqreeching from the front of the engine. Can't pin point where it's coming from. Took the belt off and spun the pulleys and they seemed all tight, no wobble and sounds. The belt is about 4 months old and for...

Been looking for a better water pump for my 93 and different people on the forum have said that the 99 cobra and the aviator pumps fit as long as they are 4.6, can't find one that will fit, the cobra's have an extra mounting piece and the aviator has a longer nose piece with threads that the...

Is there some kind of secret to remove the IAC valve from the Marks? I have a 93 and the other day when I changed the TB I was going to change the IAC but got frustrated and did a lot of dropping sockets and small wrenches and a bunch of cursing so gave up but have to change it. In a...

With the car idling and air on,(it's fully charged) the compressor stays on but as soon as you throttle up to like 2000 RPM's the compressor will cycle off and on so when driving you get this surging, bad spark plug or wire feel. Is there a sensor or relay causing this or is something dying in...

Hi all, First, I have a 93 Mark with 69,000 miles and ran great until I stopped for some lunch in a strip mall two days ago and when I tried to start it, it backfired and ran like s**t and barely ran like on 4 cylinders. I had it towed to a fix it shop and after a few hours they called me and...

Starting to clean under the hood of the beast, some elbow grease and time to get it done.

Hi all, Just purchased an oil filter adapter gasket that I want to replace on my 93 Mark and before I tackle it when I do the next oil change is it a straight up job or is it a PITA? Thanks for all info I may get.:)

Someone got a pair of 96 HID's on the bidding website for a whopping $350 + like $15.00 shipping but looked like the bulbs were missing but the parking lights were there. 140050145098:)

Tried a search but came up empty on what is the best and affordable code scanner for the Gen 1 Mark Vlll. Any help will be greatly appreciated.:) :)

Hi all, Last night I parked in a strip mall and when I came back to the car I had two nice size dents on the passenger side where some a**hole put the boot to my door. Just in front of the door handle and just above it, at least didn't break the handle so will have to call the insurance company...

Hi, Trying to find out what 3M tape to use on the outside of the car, strong enough to attach a rear spoiler (low profile). I checked at Advance Auto and got no real answer there, they had side molding tape and that was about it. If someone could tell me the exact 3M tape name I would really...

I have the parts for the accumulator on order and would like to know if the valve body has to be dropped and I remember dropping the valve body in an Olds. years ago and a bunch of fluid came out so maybe it's a good idea to do it to the Mark because changing to Mercon V. I also know about...

Is the oil capacity right with the 6 Qts.? When I park on an incline nose up for about 3 hours and start the car a nasty noise like something isn't getting oil for about 3 seconds. If I park the other way, nose down it doesn't happen. I looked in the past posts quickly but I didn't find...

Hi, Going to look at a '93 Mark this weekend that a daughter is selling for her dad who is 80 and has stopped driving. The car has 60,000 miles on it and she sent pics. and the car looks real good. The dad said the 60,000 service was done, alternator, and brake job done. Now, the daughter says...
