    My AIR/OIL separator install on 1996 Mark

    I've never seen a picture of an oil separator on a Gen I so I thought I should share in case someone else is thinking about doing the same thing. I went with the small Jegs air/oil separator just because there is very little space to work with. I would have preferred a jar with more capacity...

    What's the secret to getting the intake tube to seal to the throttle body on a gen 1?

    Hey all! I've got a 1996 Mark VIII. I know I have a vacuum leak at the throttle body because of the intake tube rubber gasket. You can hear a faint rushing sound inside the car. I probably have taken the intake tube off and on too many times and overtightened the bolt that secures the tube...

    Is a first gen Mark VIII well protected against theft?

    Escort ZX2 - Mini Mark VIII?

    Since owning my Mark VIII these Escort ZX2's have caught my eye as having a strong resemblance to the Mark VIII... Obviously the front and rear treatments are different but the overall proportions and shape and also the sides look a lot alike. If you put a chrome grille and a continental kit on...

    Transmission fluid level?

    I wanted to know if there was an ideal fluid level for the 4r70w that you guys adhere to? I have another car with an AOD and learned to run the fluid up to the D in Don't over fill on the dipstick, slighty above the full mark. It actually makes the shifts feel a little better and supposedly is...

Before I started the conversion the air suspension drove real smooth and handled well but would leak...

    Australian cars with 5.4 DOHC!

    Sorry if this is a bit off topic but I never knew they had 5.4 DOHC Australian Ford Falcons running around. I figured you guys would be interested. They're aren't many good videos to choose from but this video has a good shot of the engine even though it's modified. It's like they're putting...

    Questions about oil cooler adapter gasket

    The car dosen't have a leak currently I just wanted to cross this potential trouble spot off the list. Bought a new oil cooler adapter gasket. Question: Is there a concern with coolant/oil cross contamination? I know I have to drain the coolant but do I need to be worried about coolant getting...

    Sorry if this has been covered before but I need help. I'd like to get around paying dealer prices. All the parts I've seen on J-mod threads have Ford part numbers. So I need to order from somewhere that stocks Motorcraft parts. I would like to do the J-mod and all the recommend upgrades. My...
