I joined the forum ~ a month ago, and hadn't been back since.
I have a fairly long history w/ Lincolns. My 1st was a '66 Cont'l coup'e (in '76). I had that one 'til '88, in '92 I got a '79 MK V BB, '93 ('75 Town Coup'e), 'til '97. In '98 I bought an '86 Cont'l (still w/me - Vanilla 306" - 172K mi). In 3/99 I bought a '90 MK VII LSC/SE (black) w/ 65K original.
After driving it to 115K, it was getting tired, and needed a new rack unit, SO....
It's now a project with the original engine @ 347" on 5.4" rods, 1.72:1 roller rockers, 65mm tb and a spider upper over a GT40 lower, 24# inj., MAF, 155 LPH pump, MAC long tube headers, 2 1/2" exh., T5 w/ a Vallejo clutch, spring suspension, Mustang brakes, and ground effects kit.
I really love the MK (or I wouldn't be going thru all this), and just want it to be what it can be: a great handling, fast, stylish car.
I don't know for sure what I'll bring to the forum, but I do have shop manuals, wiring diagrams and a fair amt of knowledge about these cars, and I'm happy to share. :L
