I agree. As an unbiased 3rd party observer that is a nice car. Jason Poirier LOD-New England Chapter President '94 Mark VIII Portofino Blue/Portofino Blue http://www.markviii.org/~lincolnman/ http://www.markviii.org/~lincolnman/sigpic.jpg

It's time again for our New England Chapter meet. As in previous years it will be held at the Chateau Norwood Restaurant on Saturday July 16th. Come around 2:00PM so we have some time to chat in the parking lot before eating. Everyone is invited whether you're a member or not. If you just...

Bottom of the door is rusted, probably from clogged drainage hole. Jason Poirier LOD-New England Chapter President '94 Mark VIII Portofino Blue/Portofino Blue http://www.markviii.org/~lincolnman/ http://www.markviii.org/~lincolnman/sigpic.jpg

I'm looking to replace the passenger door of my 94. I need a rust-free one, hopefully without a broken handle or other surface damage. Color is not important since I have no chance of getting lucky enough to match mine. Jason Poirier LOD-New England Chapter President '94 Mark VIII Portofino...

I will completely agree that Nology wires are junk and the supposed lifetime warranty only seems to apply if the wires are somehow cut in half. Like you I bought my set less than 2 years ago expecting them to last almost forever or why would they offer that warranty. Well a few months ago the...

I gained 95 rwhp and 128 ft-lbs from the 125 jets. Jason Poirier LOD-New England Chapter President '94 Mark VIII Portofino Blue/Portofino Blue http://www.markviii.org/~lincolnman/ http://www.markviii.org/~lincolnman/sigpic.jpg

I was advised by the guy who tuned the car for nitrous to put the nittos at 15lbs which is what I did. Next time I might try leaving them at 18lbs which was gave me the best launches on street tires. Jason Poirier LOD-New England Chapter President '94 Mark VIII Portofino Blue/Portofino Blue...

The rain finally let up enough in New England for the track to open for the first time in 2 weeks, but it just wasn't dry. The conditions were as bad as I'd even seen them at New England Dragway and everyone's results were the same. After half a dozen passes with the 125 shot the best I could...

I'm still using the 24lb injectors, though they must be near the limit of their capabilites. I do have nitto drag radials on the car; however, the guy running the dyno told me next time to go with Mickey Thompson ET streets. He said he's had both on his 500hp Chevy Nova and the Mickey...

With the old chip and all the current mods I think they were like 230hp/232ft-lbs. All those numbers tell you is peak output though. The beauty of having the charts of dyno runs is it showed, for example, a spot over 5300rpm where the computer tried to dump in a ton of fuel for some reason and...

I have to hand it to the guy at Performance Dyno in Concord, NH, he went above and beyond the call of duty tuning my car. It goes without saying he'd never tried tuning a Lincoln Mark VIII before and even though SCT had a base program for the car to start with, it was full of mistakes and...

I would like to know just how common it is for the front air suspension sensor to come off it's little knob on the A arm and flop around while the front end raises to the maximum height. This happened to me on my way to Carlisle last year and never having seen this before I was lucky to find a...
