Hey guys!* So....I went up to the NC/TN mountains this past weekend, to drive on the US129 Tail of the Dragon with a big group of other similar cars.* Pontiac G8's, Chevy SS's, and Pontiac GTO's mostly.* Basically, all cars that were actually built by GM Holden, in Australia.* We had over 50...

11-November-2017, at the Atlanta Dragway, in Commerce, Georgia http://sshs17.com/ Who all is going to this? I went last year, but will be working that weekend this year. I’m contemplating taking off of work....

Mike, I didn't know you had such interesting hobbies.... Make sure to read the story. ;):wave: http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/columnists/jim-stingl/2016/09/03/stingl-retired-electrician-created-mass-mannequins/89779354/

Alright guys, I finally have these available again. It's been about 3 years since I've been able to offer these for sale, but they're back! These are made from 304 stainless steel and replace the plug on the coolant crossover tube in the middle of the engine bay. I designed it with the hex on...

I've been looking for the Motorcraft part number for the heater core for a Gen 2 Mark VIII. I might be helping someone change one out soon and I'm trying to find him the best deal on the parts. It's been awhile, but I remember the last time I did a heater core, the parts store pieces were...

Like the title says.... Anyone interested? Now that I've found a pretty good waterjetter, and finally have my own TIG welder, I was thinking about maybe making/selling the rear relocation brackets. I asked about these on LVC and have had some decent interest. Wanted to ask here as well...

Alright guys, it's finally that time again. I'm putting together another run of 10 sets of these. Depending on how quickly they sell, I might think about doing another run of them shortly thereafter, and try to keep them in stock for the random people that ask about them every once in a while...

As you guys know, Doug (DLF) passed away recently. I've been in talks with his wife to purchase his lathe, his specs/drawings, and any remaining raw materials. I hope to have everything in my possession sometime in September. Anyway, Doug shared his HID adapter specs with me quite awhile ago...

I have 2 sets of Homelink sunvisors that I'd like to sell. First set, from a 98 with Midnight Black (charcoal) interior with a sunroof. No rips or tears, very nice condition. This is the more desirable "rolling code-capable" module. 65 shipped Second set, from my 97 with Ebony (darker...

I recently got rid of my 97 Mark VIII, so here are some parts I salvaged from it: TRW Upper control arms. Used, with about 35k miles. These things still look very close to new. TRW's are what Ford used on these cars from the factory, and typically last about 100k miles. If you're unfamiliar...

I'm going to be replacing the engine mounts on a friend's car tomorrow and wanted to see if any of you guys had any "lessons learned" from doing this? I'll be using an engine support bar to hold the weight of the engine and/or lift it up some, if needed. I know some have needed to shorten the...

I got myself a new daily driver car today. This car will be replacing my 97 Mark VIII. It's a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT, Stryker Blue Mettalic paint, fairly rare--one of 1,111. 49k miles and happens to already have a Magnaflow stainless steel cat back exhaust. They were asking $21,986, but I was...

This is a brand new in the box Motorcraft DY967 Throttle Position Sensor. I know they fit Mark VIII's, but they'll also fit a whole bunch of other Ford vehicles as well. I bought this one to replace the one on my 98 and then realized that I had already bought one a while ago, and never...

This is on my black 98. I've noticed for a while that I'm losing power in the top end. It's still pretty quick, but I can tell it's not putting out what it should be. I hooked up the Xcal2 with the SCT live link datalogging software, and from what I can tell, it's retarding timing when I get...
