I got a new one from Torrie at FPN about two years ago. It was $34.00

Two new front struts are gonna be about $450. That is about how much the whole spring conversion would cost. A conversion is kind of a one shot deal, no more worries about other components. With air, you may have a compressor go out, or rear bags, or a sensor. When springs wear out, they...

These are pending sold. I will let you know if anything happens. Thanks, Craig

Hi everyone, I have a set of two 02 sensors for just the rear on cars that use 4 sensors. Connectors on them are blue. They are Ford sensors. They came in a set of 4, with two that had green connectors. I used the green ones for my front o2's but have a 93 so don't need the other two. I'll...

I am in the camp that thinks it would be a cool experiment. I think glasspacks would add some mellow bass, and then regular mufflers on top would tighten up the sound. Just my opinion. If I had the time, money and talent I would do it. My thoughts would be: true dual back to an x,then two...

They also don't carry Autolite 764 spark plugs anymore. At least at my local store they don't. But the 5 gallon deals of Castrol Syntec are 19.98 which is a fair deal.

Have you gone over your ground points? It's possible the electrical system's power isn't all getting where it needs to go for full power making.

That spray dye from the parts stores works pretty good. You might have to coat it a few times to get full black. I redid some velour seats in my old Crown Vic with it. I think I used the plasti-kote brand. Just mask stuff well, because it sticks like spray paint.

Have you pulled out your fuel injectors and cleaned them? Mine is running the same way with no codes. New plugs and wires didn't help. I am leaning towards clogged injectors. However, my plugs were chalky white except one. Mine has 186,000 miles.

Jerry's thesis says not to use the truck valve body. If you are trying to do this on the cheap, I would recommend just swapping in your old vb after inspection and/or jmodding. There's a good article about this swap by Silver95Bird on tccoa. I forgot, you also need to swap on your year MLPS...

I just installed the truck trans in mine. Basically the exact same thing you mentioned in the first post. (Same mileage, yr and cost also) You do need to put your early version of TCC solenoid in there. Should have a black connector. Also, you would have to put in a car valve body in there...

I would be sure to have some cash for repairs on hand. Mine is at 183,000 and liking to eat money right now. Most of it is regular maintenance, but consider that most of the wearable parts are at the end of their life. But the Mark is a solid car, and if you have the lower mileage donor, then...

what style are they? any pictures?

I don't see how anybody could resist when they read this: "From the moment you pick one up, you'll notice the difference with Porter-Cable. Sleek, sturdy, and comfortable. An exciting machine. But then you turn it on. And that's when the real fun begins. Power. Agility. Responsivness. Perfect...

There's an electronic device called a speed-cal you can get to make your speedo work. I don't know much about it but I think it hooks into the electronics on the trans and throws a speedometer signal to your computer. dallasmustang sells 'em I think.
