Your car looks great! I see you have spark plug wire spacers the bolt or screw together, are those available for purchase somewhere?

Gonna be quite a ride from Alabama for a little engine detail, huh? Second thought, just come to Carlisle this year and we'll work on it. ;)

The gears? One icon sums it up... :7
 
RE: 1993 Nordic Blue/Aquamarine

Yeah I know what you mean,just bought a blk 93 planning on taken out the pumpkin and do a set of 4.10s myself then I will almost be like u wif a smiley face .
 
RE: 1993 Nordic Blue/Aquamarine

Those are great pics, very nice job in the engine compartment. What is on the end of the fuel rail, by the Schader valve? Is it some sort of pressure guage? If so, where could I pick one up?

93 Mark

BTW, the MMx driveshaft simply amazes me. My '93 has 106K+ and I'm sure certain suspension components are worn, but I can hardly believe how smoooooooooth the highway ride is now. I haven't had it the triple digits yet, but the difference is amazing.

After the 4.10s were installed, I could detect vibrations starting at about 70 and definitely pronounced by 80. I had the one piece early '93 driveshaft, so I gambled it wouldn't need replacement. Turns out I was wrong, but I believe it was a combination of the gears, center section and driveshaft that caused such resonance. The stock driveshaft in another setup may be just fine IMHO.
 
RE: 1993 Nordic Blue/Aquamarine

Went to Sears Automotive shop today for free tire rotation and balance. I also had a four wheel alignment performed since I've sensor lowered the '93 a short while back. When I returned home, I snapped a couple pics to share. I've been working lately getting the '93 ready for Carlisle. :)

A new logo plate for the front. This is by far the best I've had. I highly recommend the website for their quality products. I had to pull up into the shade as the "Mark VIII" lettering on the logo plate shines too much in the sun for the digicam!

A new vanity plate for the rear, courtesy of WV DMV. They have pretty good quality. A light blue tinted cover keeps it clean. Would you belive there's already a "driller" in WV, and I had to settle for "DRILLR". :+ Oh, and don't forget to notice the newly 'repaired' trunk lock cover! ;)

Finally, this is the sensor lowered stance of the '93 now. :)
