The brake switch under the hood of our cars may short out and cause a fire. But Ford hasn't recalled them. Read the entire article, only 1 million or so units out of 16 million this part was installed on were recalled. This may belong in the Electrical section, but it's serious enough to...

Fyi, I purchased this car in 2001 with a broke motor. Come to find out when I got it running last year, with insurance, that it has had $9000 in damage!!! CarFax rules, but jez... There are some tail-tail signs, but it was fixed at a Lincoln dealership. So I know it was fixed as best as it...

I've just come to learn of a few of the guys in the other sections here that are thinking about inserting a different shock into the front strut: a much firmer shock then what you can get OEM or rebuilt. Why? To match, say, a set of Bilstiens on the rear. :D I'm willing to do some...

I got a 1995, untouched. It was a program car @ Lincoln before my friend purchased it at 90k miles. He drove it for 5k miles, untouched just changing oil, before he destroyed the engine (double-ringed the gasket, no oil). I bought it from him as it sat, broke. Pieced togather my old Cobra...

A few questions... 1) Anyone know if this is possible? I mean, do the 2nd gen lights bolt up/body match to the 1st gens? If the answer is no, ignore the rest... :) 2) Wiring: What all do I need? I see there is a ballast needed, umm, could someone tell us where it is on the vehicle? :) 3)...

Simple subject really. Looking for Gen II side mirrors with the turn signals embedded. Surface can be faded, scratch, etc. I plan on painting them if they aren't in good condition. All electronics and motors must be working perfectly as well as blinkers. Email me or reply here.

Just as topic says. I finally made it around to hitting up a dynojet with the Navigator cams today. 226.8 RWHP @ 5200 267.9 RWTQ @ 4400 The HP takes a sever plunge after 5200. An indication I need the Cobra intake? :) I'm really surprised at the TQ number. Must be the cams as the car...

It seems there's two guys that used to work for Dennis (or are friends of someone that work for Dennis for a few weeks), and got pissed at him. Now, they are spreading all of this crap about transmissions and such being really bad from Reinhart Automotive (Dennis' company...

Ok, I've got the famous door pin switch issue. And the WD40 trick has ended its life cycle of protecting me from these such occurances. It's really getting annoying as hell, driving at night with upteen interior lights coming on!!! Arrg. The issues, just FYI: - the alarm intermediately goes...

Doesn't anyone make a higher-then-stock rated alternators? My system finally killed my alternator, and i've been searching all weekend. Doesn't have to be a direct fit (add additional 4 gauge wire, larger engine groud strap, etc). I just want an alternator rated at least 200+ (want 240). I...

Ok, car is stock w/92k on the odometer. On the way to Atlanta, during a downshift to 3rd, the gear kept revving up and I lost 3rd. Let off the gas and waited for 4th to shift back in, and it just spun up (no pull, free revving). After pulling over and commanding 1st, then 2nd, then slowly...

Aiight.. 95k miles, 1995 model. Very suddle signs the car has been damaged (paint looks perfect though! either they sprayed the whole car or I can't tell). I bought the car with a blown engine, and the car sat for almost 3 years until I finally put an engine it in last month. Of which I...

Letting you guys know while I was down here finishing up a friend's turbo coupe (and tuning it), he asked if i wanted to go to the Test/n/Tune tonight in Memphis. Figured, why not run the Mark? For you that don't know, it's a bone stock 1995 non-LSC. Purchased the car with a locked up engine...

In my 95, I have this knocking/thumping noise in the rear when either wheel hits a bump. Like there is a busted shock or the shock is loose. Upon quick ground inspection (laying on the back), I noticed both lower bolts of the rear shocks have about 1" play in the bushing. Where I can grab the...

Heh, I just NOW got my Mark VIII on the road (after I bought it almost 18 months ago with a blown engine). Finally got my arse in gear and swapped in another 6 bolt crank cast motor. Shaved a set of DOHC heads (from a Cobra) a little and put in NAVI cams though. I can't leave anything...

Fyi, once I got my Mark VIII on the road this weekend I noticed I didn't have a keyless entry key fab/fob (however you spell it, remote/transmitter). I took a transmitter from my late Cobra and went through the programming steps. Works like a charm! lol So fyi, if you need a remote and run...

Some friends of mine went to the show (I couldn't make it) and found this Lincoln Mark 9 (IX?) hiding away in the corner for me (since they know I am working on my Mark 8). http://www.outfitterreviews.com/Mark9.JPG Given a lot of Detroit cars at this show are concept vehicles, thought I'd let...

Oh man, I'm new to this forum and I may have already started a rucuss. I see who Dan is now and apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes in this thread about teh AJE k-member: http://www.lincolnsclub.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=read_count&om=481&forum=DCForumID5 I didn't have to critize...

Just wanting to know what RPMs you guys are turning, with the converter locked up, with 3.73s, 4.10s, and someone with 4.30s (if there is someone). Trying to guestimate what I'd like in my car. I love 4.10s in the Cobras, and 4.30s with a 6spd in the Cobras. It will see a lot of...

During schooling at Ford ASSET's program, I faintly remember the technology in the Mark VIII about the databus. Now I haven't torn into my car to much, yet. But I'd like to know two things: - Will there be any problems swapping my EEC-IV ECU and harness out with an EEC-V ECU and engine...
