This one looks to have a full VINYL top, WITH convertible boot snaps?!?!?!?! I guess this is one way to solve the bubbling rear window molding. ;-) http://www.holmanauctions.com/CHARLIE/302pomp/15.JPG http://www.holmanauctions.com/CHARLIE/302pomp/16.JPG...

Check out my new ride! This is a 1984 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible with the optional Mark Cross pacakage, Turbo, and digital dash. She has 72,000 orignal miles on her. The car was repainted in 1997 to a metallic light blue/gray and driven 6,000 miles since the repaint.....garage kept the...

Before I tell this story, let me just say that it has been a long while since I have had a good race like this!!! I barely lost to a Mercedes Benz AMG C43 this morning. :( We were lined up next to each other at a light. We didn't both punch it off the line, but once we knew both of us were...

My chick's mom got me a LOD shirt for X-Mas. I'm always telling my chick stories about this web-site, and for the most part she probably isn't paying attention. Well she searched the internet found this site and ordered me a black LOD golf shirt for her Mom to give to me!! I thought it was...

Is there a website dedicated to the towncar, like this is to the Mark VIII? (yes, I know there are links in here for other lincolns, but this website is 99.9% for the Mark VIII) I'm looking for some info on a 1997 towncar. Ken

I just had my 1-2 accumulator spring replaced a short while ago and that fixed most of the shifting problems I was having. But, WOT shifts don't work so well. The rpm's go real high and then drop and I get a hard 1-2 shift........this only happens at WOT. According to the TCCOA page on this...

Look what Geno did now.......... ;-) http://homepage.mac.com/mikethayer/.Pictures/Lincoln/yellow.jpg

Well, I think my tranny is acting up, AGAIN. The 1-2 shift seems to be getting harder. It only happens at light throttle (like a 2,000 rpm shift). I don't have a chip. I don't think it is a broken 1-2 accumulator spring as full throttle shifts are smoother? I drove my Mom's T-bird with a...

I noticed while changing my brakes this past weekend that I've got a small rust hole in my rear sway bar. My car is a 1993 with 165,000 miles on it, and that is the original sway bar. First off, what are options to fix this secondly is replacing the rear sway bar something I can do myself...

HELP!! My spark plug wires are popping off my spark plugs while I am driving!! I recently changed my plugs and for the first time I am using the 8.5MM MSD wires and Autolite copper plugs gapped at .048. After they pop off, the plug wires are actually pushing against that cover that goes over...

Damn car left me stranded last night...........again!!!! It broke down right after crossing the Walt Witman Bridge into Philly. Anyway, I think it is the fuel pump. Is the correct part number for the Walbro 255 that goes in our car, GSS342 / Kit Model: 400-782? Will this pump work OK in my car...

If you saw my earlier post, my girlfriend got me a day a drag racing school for my birthday. Here is what happened..... I got to drive a rail dragster with 600HP down the old quarter mile. Here is my ticket from my fastest run…. 60’ – 1.42 330 – 3.883 1/8 – 5.953 MPH – 118.07 990 – 7.709 1/4 -...

For my 30th birthday my woman got me a one-day class in drag racing!!! It will be at ATCO in south jersey, and I’ll get to drive an 8-second car down the old quarter mile!! I don’t know what kind of car it will be, I’m assuming it will be a pro-stock car (tuned down a tad) with a parachute...

I lost the RPM reading on the 1996 Mark I am selling. It doesn't move at all. The rest of the dash works. Doesn't anybody know what this is? Thanks! Ken (14.6 @ 97 MPH on the 'other' board) ps - for those of you that read both boards, you will see that exact same post over there! are we...
