Hey, Frankie X-- Can you please either PM me or send me an e-mail? I would have sent you a PM or an e-mail, but that information isn't in your profile. I need to correspond with you privately about an issue. My contact information is in my profile. Thanks!

Well, I have finally gotten photos of the car, and I've posted it the auction site, in case anyone would like to view them. I don't know if it's OK to post a link to the auction here or not, so instead of doing that, I'll offer the link to anyone who sends me an e-mail or a PM--or you can just...

Hi, All-- A couple of months ago, the New Mustang bug bit me, and I ordered one on June 20th. It appears that it was built last Friday night, and it will probably be at the dealership in another couple of weeks. SO--I need to sell off all my other cars now. I have two Mark VIII's, one in...

Quote Well it doesn't cost $4000, when i talked to them they said it would be $2800 for the system plus what ever amount for the piping to be run to the intake. I am not getting, but wanted to find out more about it so I called them. Well, maybe they've changed their pricing schedule or maybe...

Quote This is not the case, the radiator and cooler ARE fine, a shop monitored the lines, this is not what happened.-'94 Frost Green Mar I guess I'm a little confused about what you mean by, " . . . a shop monitored the lines . . ." In what way were the lines "monitored"? Exactly what about...

According to a recent Popular Hotrodding article, the turbo is designed to "eliminate lag", and in the article they state, "an air molecule only takes .05 seconds to get from the turbo to the intake". How they were able to determine that, find a molecule and measure the time it took to travel...

Hi, collegeboy13-- While you might THINK that the radiator and transmission cooler are "fine", I would bet dollars to doughnuts that they aren't. You will need to take the radiator to a shop and have it pressure tested. And by that, I mean remove it from the car and take it to a radiator shop...

THANKS! ALL SET! RE: PLEASE HELP! Ack. Battery died and door won't open! No key... In nearly 30 years of working on cars, and dead batteries too numerous to even hope to count, I have NEVER seen a new battery that was not already fully charged . . .

Hi, Bernie-- You can buy the chrome door handles for a Lincoln Continental at any Lincoln dealer brand new for $25 or less, and they fit perfectly--that's what I installed on my '97 base model Mark VIII.

Hi, Frankie-- You're going to have to realize that not every technician or dealer has the same level of integrity as you and yours; at the last dealership I worked, there was a drivability tech who actually did some pretty unscrupulous things, but I won't go into that . . . suffice to say, he...

Hi, Frankie-- Quote" . . . Perry, tell me if you remember: I worked on Ford products back in the early 80's (Rangers seem to come to mind) that had an "EMISSIONS" light that was controlled by a timer module to come on at app. 50,000 miles. Sound familiar?" Well, from February of '77 up through...

Hi, glen45-- You said, Quote"I had a 20 year + mechanic tell me 10 years ago that check engine lights are programmed to come on near service intervals." Well first off--there may have been a few cars programmed to illuminate a "Service Engine Soon" light at or near a service interval, and it...

Oh Also, Joe--why are you selling all your Mark VIII stuff? Are you getting out of Mark VIII's, or are you "making room" for another project?

Hey Joe--I have an unrelated question Your signature states: Now, when you say, "NA" do you mean "Naturally Aspirated", or are you referring to something else? The reason I ask is because if you have a turbo, it ain't "Naturally Aspirated".

Quote What year Mark VIII? Gen 2 speedos are driven by a sensor at the front wheel - Gen 1 uses tranny gears.John[link:mark8.org/lodnca|NorCal Chapter Website]http://mark8.org/users/johnaec/Mark_VIII_s.jpg'97 Mark VIII LSC'96 T-Bird 4.6L Well, I don't believe that is actually correct--I have a...

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. That's simply not correct. The sulphur smell means the catalytic converters have too much unburned fuel running through them. The mixture is too rich. When this occurs, the car probably has one (or maybe even both) of the primary O2...

Could you find out who this is and where I can contact him? I need a set for my T-Bird. Thanks!

I got your e-mail and responded to it with what I'm looking for--did you get that one? If you didn't, perhaps you have your e-mail settings configured so that you only receive e-mail from people you know; if you have a junk mail or spam mail folder, chances are that my e-mails to you are in...

I sent an actual e-mail by sending it to the address listed in your online profile here. I didn't send you a PM. You can send an e-mail to the address in my profile to get in touch with me, and I'll tell you what I'm looking for. Thanks!
