    Just another day at the office

    At that rpm and manifold boost, I'd say at least 75% power. Note - the Hobbs meter is sometimes in a little window on the tach, or else it'll be a separate little "window" instrument that looks like an odometer. Check it out the next time you're up. John

    Just another day at the office

    Actually, I believe the engines are 6 cylinder horizontally opposed engines, (flat, with 3 cylinders per side - think Corvair...). And while 2000 hours is the recommended TBO, many users can stretch much more out of them if they're careful. And did you notice the "Hobbs" meter? Engine running...

    I see it also has an independent rear suspension. John

    New Lincoln MKR concept images

    'Looks like it was kicked in the butt - ala Chrysler Crossfire! They should make it longer, (more proportioned) - a 2-door 4-seater like the Mark VIII! John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website] http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg '97 Mark VIII LSC (Sold to...

    New designer wheel

    Is the old wheel with a new tire good enough to use in place of the mini-spare, or don't they leave enough room up under there?? John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website] http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg '97 Mark VIII LSC (Sold to SCcouper) '96 T-Bird 4.6L

    Any GM heads in here? 4.3 Vortec V-6

    I have a '99 Checy Astro van with the 4.3L Vortec. While it's mainly a van site, check out www.astrosafari.com - there's a bunch of gearheads over there, (very active), that know these engines inside-out. John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website]...

    2000 LS Rear door panel

    I'd recommend taking it to a body shop - they deal with that stuff all day long. I'd avoid a dealer - they think all Lincoln owners are made of money... John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website] http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg '97 Mark VIII LSC (Sold to...

    First in Class + Mercedes SLR Mclaren

    That Mercedes has to have the ugliest hood/grille I've ever seen. And is that interior red?? :B (Or is it just the photo?) John [link:www.goldengatemark8.com|Golden Gate Mark VIII Website] http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg '97 Mark VIII LSC (Sold to SCcouper) '96 T-Bird 4.6L

    V is for Vengeance

    I absolutely loved this movie - the best I've seen in a long time! It takes place in a near future London, where a bunch of people have been killed off by a virus and the government is totally autocratic - everything the government does is "for your protection". You have to really pay close...

    Some new pics of my navigator and mark

    Dave - you sold your Mark VIII? ('Haven't been around as much since I sold mine a couple months ago - I musta' missed the news.) Did you get what you wanted for it? I know a lot of people were drooling over it, especially over at TCCoA, (where most were kids with limited funds...). John...

    Canned Cat Food Question

    Does she like canned tuna, (preferably canned in water)? A friend of mine had a cat that desperately needed to add weight, and canned tuna for a while did the trick just fine, and the vet told her that was fine, as long as she continued it only as long as it took for the cat to gain some weight...

    Canned Cat Food Question

    My cat used to only eat dry food, but now she also eats canned. But only 3 or 4 varieties - she seems to be happier if I alternate a little, otherwise, she seems to get tired of the flavor of the day/week. The only things she'll eat are the Friskies varieties with gravy, and then, only the...

    The New Lincolns

    If those are 20" wheels on the MKS like the commentary says, that must really be a big car, since it would look about normal if the wheels shown were 17's. And while it says AWD, is that with a horizontally mounted engine, which would mean they just added rear drive to a FWD chassis? John...
