Want a chuckle? Since I can't find anything using the search function, except this, and you're currently talking about seat tracks, how about you tell me how to modify my Gen 1 seat track so it slides back further?
Lol. Serious. I could use another inch or two.

pull the roll pin out of the seat track...at the back. it's a physical stop.
and redrill a hole and replace the roll pin further back.
Some have done it without putting the rollpin back in, I wouldn't suggest it tho

Well f'ng hell. The only easier instructions would be to tell me to get off my lazy ass and take a look at it. Ha. Thank you!!
No problem, Credit goes to Mike Gilbert/Nightsky from the old mark 8 board.
he's a very very tall guy..and he showed me this mod, back in '99 or 2000.
Did that mod to mine last year. (there was a TSB for it) I also chopped 1 1/2'' off the rear of my tracks so they wouldn't dig into the carpet.
Edit: Here's a copy of that TSB:
TSB Article No. 95 - 15 - 2
Increased Rearward Seat Travel - Service Tip
93 - 96 Lincoln Mark VIII
Issue: Some customers may request more front seat leg room. This may be due to insufficient rearward travel of the power seat track.
Action: Remove the travel limiter from the seat track to gain 1.25'' (32mm) extra rearward seat travel.
Service procedure:
1. Move the seat to the full forward and up position.
2. Locate the rear travel limiter (roll pins) The roll pins are located at the rear of the seat tracks.
3. Carefully pull the roll pins from the seat tracks.
4. Verify proper operation of the seat.
Caution!
Removing the roll pins and increasing the rearward seat travel may allow the seat tracks to contact the floor mats / carpeting causing a depression and / or soiling of the mats / carpeting.
