I was just looking around fleabay for Mark VIII stuff and came across these! Dayum! Our stuff is gettin' 'spensive...

Okay. My damn car won't start! It started fine this morning. Left the house, dropped the kids off at school, stopped at the Wilco for a drink, and stopped at my mom's house on the way. When I got ready to leave mom's and go to work, she wouldn't start. It's strange because when the key is turned...

Possible idea for a sticky: First suggestion is the one that is always first: www.ebay.com Next would probably be www.amazon.com I get most of what I need off fleabay. Sometimes I'll go somewhere esle, but I've found that if you need it, usually you can find it on ebay:) Please feel...

Okay. I have a creaking sound coming from my p/s front wheel that is driving me nuts! Last year, I installed new upper and lower control arms, sway bar links, tie rod ends, and air shocks. I didn't replace the strut rod bushings (which I should have, and I will soon). It was perfectly quiet for...

Okay, my '97 LSC has been running fabulously...until yesterday:( Out of the blue, it started missing. As soon as it started, the ABS light came on. Then the "Check Traction Control" warning came up on the display. Then the CEL started flashing and then stayed on. The whole time, the car felt...

I just thought this was funny. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lincoln-Mark-Series-1998-Lincoln-Mark-VIII-NO-RESERVE-/270840043454?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3f0f5317be Look at the wheels. Same here...

I love my Lincoln! I just wanted to say that. I’ve been a Lincoln man for many years. My first Lincoln was a 1962 suicide-door Continental. It was forest green with a white leather interior. It had a 340hp 430 V-8, auto, power steering/brakes/windows and seat, a/c, am/fm radio, cruise, tilt, and...

Hi all! Since everybody's doing 0-60 runs, I figured I'd throw one in here too. This is my '96 Mark VIII. I was actually pretty impressed. According to the video, it did it in about 6.8 seconds. Not bad at all for a 15 year old car with 204K miles! Anyway, I'm happy with it. YouTube -...

I'm just playing with an idea. Has anyone ever used wheel spacers on their Mark's? I'm asking because I have never really liked how the factory wheels look like they're tucked under the fenders. I would prefer a more "flush" look. I'm wondering if I use 1/2" or 1" wheel spacers, would the lugs...

Okay, I just got around to starting my "project". This is an idea I had recently for a new front air spring/shock design that has a separately removable air spring and shock unit. With this design, the air spring or shock can be replaced independently without having to buy the entire unit. If...

I know this is off-topic, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Australian Ford Falcon and thought I'd post that the Mustang GT's 5.0L Coyote V-8 has made it to the Falcon. In Aussie supercharged FPV GT tune, it puts out about 450hp (give or take) and a whole buncha torque (don't have my NM to FT-Lb...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100901/ap_on_en_tv/eu_britain_top_gear Well crud! I guess I can't claim to be the Stig anymore:rolleyes:. But on a more serious note, that simply ruins the mystique of the Stig. It really sucks that his identity was revealed. The Stig is one of the best parts...

I was just playing around with my image editor and came up with this. I took a picture of my '96 Mark VIII and chopped the roof and body, lowered it, and cut off some of the front and rear overhang. I think it looks pretty decent. The roofline is the only place I think it needs some work...

Okay. I took the '97 LSC to Advance Awful Parts to check the codes for my CEL. Found out that it was PRNDL range sensor malfunction. It's intermittent. I assume there is a sensor on the shifter that tells the computer what gear it's in that needs adjustment or replacement? Anyway, after I...

Just out of curiosity, someone told me once that the front shocks from a Continental would fit a Mark VIII. I doubt that since (I think) the Conti uses McPherson struts and the Mark has upper and lower control arms so the setup is completely different. I've never bothered to look at a FWD Conti...

Okay here's a good one. My wife's '97 LSC runs great, has gobs of power, and is superfast. But when you nail the gas to pass someone or just to "blow it out", it stinks up the interior with a sulfur/rotten egg smell. It's horrible. The first thing I thought of was stopped up cats. But I doubt...

Okay. I had to do it. I feel that I've been insulted by 1bad4.6l on http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=64686 this thread. This is what was said: Quote: Originally Posted by 1bad4.6l No real mechanic [even if he does work in the driveway] Would ever refer to himself as...

I need the little chrome button that goes on the tip of the turn signal stalk on a GEN2 Mark. My '97 LSC seems to be missing that little button and my windshield washers won't work without it. I've looked for one on ebay and called several salvage yards. They appear to be rare. And I just can't...

Anybody got a GEN2 front license plate bracket they wouldn't mind parting with? My wife has a pearl white '97 LSC and she wants to put a front vanity plate on it. She has a "Wicked Witch" Wizard of Oz plate on her '94 Explorer that she wants to put on the Mark. But I can't find one of these for...

Okay. I'd like to get some input/opinions. When I bought my new front air spring/shocks for my '96 from Arnott, I put green slime in the springs prior to installation in the hopes of curtailing any dryrot leaks that may occur in the future. That was over a year ago and so far, no problems. Since...
