I don't have photos, but I remember this being something of an "art" to install. If memory serves, you can look at how the chrome button interfaces with the white plastic bit that slides up into the stalk of the shifter. I feel like everything kind of had to happen "all at once." (you...

This is a high quality thread. Thanks for all the photos, Driller!

Nicely done. I've been burned by junkyard parts more times than I can count... a story as old as time. or as old as cars, anyway.

I'd guess the concern is that the gas in the tank is old enough that you wouldn't want to subject the pump to what's left of it. How complete is the car? the tank isn't too hard to remove once the exhaust is down and the driveshaft removed... I know to a normal person, that sounds...

You're definitely in uncharted territory here, but it's territory we're very interested in. Please keep us posted! That's a sweet engine.

Thanks Sonny! I remembered the name, but no longer had that e-mail address.

If the photo on that website matches what you receive, it's probably a pretty good kit. The pair depicted for the front are the 97-98 OEM Ford configuration, which is generally considered to be superior. (and also nearly impossible to locate) I'll be interested to see if instead they...

I did a little "mining" in the archive, and it appears to be part# FR1715DD Shout out to Ponyfreak for actually listing the part number. :) Here's the direct link to Flaming River, but it looked like Summit stocks it also...

Welcome!

How'd the swap meet go? Did you move many Mark parts?

Late to the party, but had to chime in. Welcome back!! Looking at the other threads, you're already neck-deep in maintenance and upgrades. Keep it up! You'll have the kinks ironed out in no time.

My favorite was the guy I was talking to with the "modern" Continental at a car show last summer who noted that the car's computer occasionally looses track of the door handles, but a reboot fixes it. :)

This sounds like a tricky one to track down. you're right that you'll have to find the right tech. Hopefully they've got a high-tech problem solver on their team!

That swap meet looks like a big event! Thanks for stopping by to let us know, and best of luck with the table there!

I think you're 100% with that blue/white wire. I feel like all of the Marks had a factory amplifier. I know on my '97, that wire was critical for the amp turn-on. Luckily, if you're using an aftermarket harness, the color codes will be uniform. If the new stereo doesn't have the blue/white...
