Is there an easy way to get to the O2 sensors? I tried to change them myself but I could not reach the front ones so I took the car to a shop that quoted me $150 to change them. I stayed while they replaced them and it took them nearly eight hours to do the job. I cannot believe it is that hard...

Well we installed the brakes this weekend and it went pretty smooth. I just had to trim about 1/4" from the side of the flex hose connection on the passenger caliper. Nice part about having the bleed screw right on the top was that the calipers auto bled from gravity, no pumping required. Here...

Yes I ordered the parts powder coated. They have many colors and can print pretty much anything you want on the calipers.

The star is powder coated. I ordered them from Discbrakesrus http://discbrakesrus.com/index.htm. They can either drill the rotors for 5X4.25 or 5X4.5 bolt pattern or both.

My new calipers for a 13" brake conversion arrived yesterday. Looks like I will be spending today installing them if it warms up a little. Here is a pic [/IMG] I can't wait to see them on the car. No more puny rotors behind my 18" Saleens.

I think that the stock COP coils are just fine. I bought a 2003 F350 which had a slight miss-fire on damp days. Not enough to set a CEL but definitely a miss-fire so I changed the plugs and the boots. When I pulled the old plugs and saw that the smallest spark gap was over 0.1" I couldn't...

Do they have the pattern for the lines to the anti-lock system and the master cylinder as well?

Thanks for the info. One more question what is the spline count on the steering shaft.

I am also going to use Cobra manifolds instead of headers. I am in the process of purchasing a set of 03,04 Cobra manifolds is there a fitment issue with the steering shaft and if so how did you correct for it. Sorry to bring an old thread I forgot that I was looking at search results.

Picked up the cable today A1 condition. Thanks Jeremi.

I just tried to repair my parking brake and have discovered that I require a parking brake adjuster and an intermediate cable. TIA Matt

I don't doubt that there are some issues in my car. It has 230000 Km on the odometer. I am just collecting the parts needed to swap the rear over to 5 X 4.5" bolt pattern and install a track lock unit. I think a new fuel pump should be on the agenda as well.

Yes I had the overdrive and the traction control off. I did have a slight lack of traction. A bit of wheel spin off the line and the 1/2 and 2/3 shift probably caused by my crap tires. I also stupidly forgot to remove the jack and spare tire. I can sure tell that this engine likes to rev, when...

Well I took the Mark VIII to Toronto Motorsport park this weekend for the Canadian Street Car Nationals. I just ran in the Test & tune while my boys raced in the open ET class. I am a little disappointed with my time. My best run was 16.005 @ 89mph with my bone stock 97 LSC. The sad part is...

I always wondered if one was to remove the solenoid and put some Green Slime in the bag and swish it around would it fix the leak like it does with tires? This thought was running through my head as I was replacing my front struts a few of weeks ago. Matt

Would anyone know where I could find two new hoses for between the fuel filler tube, vent line and the fuel tank. I just was at the dealer and the parts are obsolete. If not all I need to know is if the connector on the tank for the large hose is the same size as the filler tube at 1 1/4". If so...

I am with you on that Steve. Since I have some very cold winters I have always installed the extra cooler before the radiator cooler for just that reason. If the tranny oil doesn't get warm enough it isn't good either.

I am a Mark VIII owner for about a year now and a new LOD member. I thought I should add my presence to this list and keep up the post every couple of years tradition. I am in Hamilton.

Just for the record they are 10mm X 1.25mm and the bolts I needed were 70mm long.

I have to put my spare engine on an engine stand. Would anyone happen to know what the bolt size and thread pitch for the bell-housing bolts are so I could pick them up on the way home. TIA Matt
