    FS: Parting out a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC Black on Black

    Looking for both the left and right side clear square High Voltage covers that are behind each HID bulb. They cover the small levels for headlamp adjustment. Got the bulbs, just need a good pair of the covers with none of the mounting tabs broken. Also in need of a center consol wood bezel in...

    Posi differential install, ABS Ring?

    So if most everyone around wants 3.50s or higher numerical gears, than the 3.07s or 3.27s with lockers, limited slip, or posi's should be dirt cheap, right? I like the original gearing that came in the Marks specifically for the mileage but would love to have an LS or a posi instead of or in...

    Whether or not it does or doesn't isn't a concern for me since I won't ever do a SeaFoam treatment in that manner again. Wouldn't have even considered the plugs a possable cause of the problem if I hadn't read of others having fouling happen to them after the SeaFoam treatment. I tend to...

    First, they were the standard copper Autolite plugs. They were a dark red, kind of a rust colored. I hit it pretty hard with the SeaFoam, sucked it up in fairly short order. Wasn't planning it that way, just sorta happened like that. I'm not thrilled with using the PCV hose to suck the stuff out...

    Well, I got tired of screwing around trying to figure out what was wrong and took it in to have the codes read on professional equipment. Wasn't terribly expensive but worthless none-the-less. Showed no codes and they said they would have to have a bunch more time to figure it out any further...

    help with tuning my car

    Isn't that going the wrong way if you want to lean the mixture Serge. If you dialed it in at say... 13.4 or 13.6, you'ld be leaning the mixture slightly, correct?

    painted my stocks

    Sorta looks like a modern version of the old Ford Model T wheels with wooden spokes and moon hub-caps. Thats about as generous an opinion as I would care to share. One good thing about it is that it's going to be a black on black on black kind of ride making it hard to see after dark which would...

    Finally got to take it out for a test spin since cleaning the MAF sensor and it's still missing, not as bad, but it's still there (idles GREAT though). Just picked up a 97 LSC dual exhaust system and ain't sure if there are any differences between the Second Gen sensors (part numbers) on the...

    Emergency: Changed spark plugs and engine sounds wierd

    Serge, who and what is GMS? Never heard of them and would like to know so as to add them to my list of suppliers. Forgive my ignorance in this, I just haven't ever heard of them (that I know of).

    Thanks Max, I'll give Max at 5-Star a call and order some new ones. Need some other stuff anyway. You know $40.00 ain't all that bad but I had heard that they were about $70.00 a pop. Gets kinda pricy at $70 each. Just got back from Portland and got to go right back out. I'll check in when I get...

    Pulled the MAF sensor out today and sprayed it off real good and it did make a substancial difference but mainly in the idle quality. Can't even feel the thing idle anymore, in or out of gear. That in itself tickles the hell out of me, even if it didn't make a difference in the cruise...

    Found the MAF sensor and learned how to clean it. Sounds like it is definately a possability in causing the problem. I'll give it a good cleaning tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. Anyone know what a new MAF goes for price wise?

    Engine Miss At Cruise

    Forgive my ignoance on this but I'm a carb guy. I love the new fuel injections that have been out for awhile but I just don't know that much about them. If the MAF is the sensor in the tube from the air cleaner filter box to the throttle body, then yes, I looked at it and it looks fine. If it...

    Hey Jesse, good to here you chimming in on this. I hooked a vacume pump up to the EGR when it was running and began pumping on it to see if the EGR was defective. The engine stumbled and died, so I assume it's working. Whether or not it has a good seal when closed is not known. It's not a "dead...

    Thanks guys for all the input on this. I just got back and checked out what you all thought. After pondering this for some time I don't think it's a coil or it would be doing all the time (hot-rodding, cruise, idle, ect). I'm leaning more to what billcu was thinking, a bad 02 sensor. The only...

    I bought a Harbor Freight Super Dooper job (their Best) that wouldn't even connect to the system when pluged in. Took the car to AutoZone and had them scan it and it came up clean (PASS). Cheepy, cheapy, however it's spelled it translates as less than a quality unit and in some instances, JUNK!

    Hey bud thanks for the reply. I put in the Motorcraft 768 or whatever the number is. They're the stock replacement plugs. Pulled one of the plugs the other day just to see what they looked like and it was a dark red. Figured it was because of all the fuel injector cleaner I ran through it on a...
