Thanks all -- real door poppers it is!!!

Whelp, as my 95 LSC sits in the body shop, my body shop guy says, "Your door handles are shot." This is a great time to shave the door handles..... As we were brainstorming, he wondered out loud how well it would work to use the existing door lock/unlock solenoids to pop the door (We were...

Thanks, Bill!!! This is a wonderful start. The chart never turned up on any of my internet searches, so I'm grateful! I'll still have to research some of the other greeblies, but I'm glad somebody went this far..... Will the moderators consider adding this link to the LOD site somewhere...

Man, it's good to be back.... My '95 LSC Project car is sitting in my garage as I patiently wait for my body & paint guy to get his shop in order. In the mean time, I'm researching driveline stuff to upgrade horsepower. Unfortunately, either I'm too stupid to use the internet or this site...

Aha. Yep, that seems to be the ticket -- gauge no longer vibrates. Thanks to all! Once I get organized, I'll post pictures of my setup.

Ok, what oil pressure are the DOHC mod motors supposed to run at? I just installed a dual remote oil filter system (filters are in the left front fender), and put my oil sending unit on a tee connection coming out of the oil filter adapter. Oil flows thru the filters before getting to the...

So how would one go about checking a catalic converter to see if it's bad/plugged/etc. ??? :o

Well done, Jeff. After I thought about it, I realized shifting the weight aft would help in drag racing, but I didn't realize to what extent until after I read your posts. Thanks for the knowledge.........

[strong] Only with the TA, I used a trunk mounted ground and one positive cable running to the front. Other than the advantage of not having to run a 2nd wire to the front, can anyone out there tell me the pros/cons of running only the pos to the front & grounding the other to the rear? Would...

So, is the Zeph based on a Ford 500 or a Ford Fusion? Guess I'll order my Zephyr badges now so I can put them on the car when I get it......as an AWD Mk-Z. They really need to keep the Zephyr name........

Quote I'm a bit ignorant about this... so what is the reason for mounting a battery in the trunk?1996 Mark VIII LSC We all have our own reasons, but the prime reason is better weight distribution. Putting the battery as far back as possible helps shift the center of balance, which is better...

Did they run the cabling thru the firewall for ya, or underneath the car and entered thru the trunk farther back?

Well, wouldja lookit that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pictures were more than instrumental in clueing me in. Well done! Well done! When I get home, I'll be removing the cover from the top of the left shock tower to see what I have. Thanks again!

Quote the missing octane plug thing could have ben a TSB from ford. People might have ben coming in and complaining about a motor noise with the low grade gas init. So ford could have put a TSB out to just cut them off and shove the wires in the loom to fix the problem and call it "retuning...

Quote If I understand the system correctly, the plug just "closes" the connection, without it.. it's a open circut.So.. in effect you could probably "wire" those two together and be done with it.. Yes, after looking at a service manual on CD, that is my understanding, also.

Quote WHY someone would cut the spout connector is beyond me! I'm not so sure anybody cut anything out of the car. I was wondering why your car was different than mine. I know car builders change things, and I was wondering if Lincoln made a change in the SPOUT / Octane plug setup. That's...

Something's wierd here..... I have 3 Mk8's (a '95 and 2 '94 models). All 3 cars are set up the same. Quote There are two connectors over there by the EDIS module. One is the "spout" connector One is the "octane" plug You want to pull the octane plug, not the spout connector. All 3 of my...

Quote I looked high & low on all 3 of my Mk8's.......the SPOUT is there, but I don't see the 2nd OCTANE plug. Is that a Gen2 feature, or am I just blind? Any takers on this?

Quote Well this was a false alarm, when I got waaay out that gravel /dirt road which I hardly ever drive my mark low and behold it was a contenental 4dr they thought it was a mark ,oh well thanks for the replies thanks alotKenny ......I hate STUPID people! My conversation on the phone with...

What gap do you recommend? Has anyone experimented with this? And.....with a centrally located plug, is indexing the spark plug even a consideration?
