This is a meet from another site that I belong to but I'm trying to get other clubs to come out and have a good time. It would be great to see the familiar faces of the Midwest group show up. I'm trying to get people to participate in outings and get one last meet in before the years end...

I plan on doing some work on the car this weekend. Don't know how much I'll get done or what I'll get done but anyone is welcome to stop by, drop me an email at jibit@hotmail.com and I'll give you some directions. I'm hoping to drop the gas tank to figure why emissions keeps saying "not ready"...

Hey guys, I found a place to make hoods for the Gen2's. If anyone is interested please PM me. They need a minimum order of 10 and they said the cost was $650 but may become lower if there is lot of orders. David O'Donnell '97 Mark VIII LSC "Maxine II" (RIP Maxine I, 5-16-03) '91 Mark VII BB...

Got my new struts yesterday, put them on without a problem. Lowered one end and then the other but the car was so low I couldnt' get the jack out from underneath so I turned the switch on and turned the car on. Immediately I get the check suspension. I then jacked the one end up and turned on...

I just received this email and found it kind of odd. Let me know what you guys think. "Dear Mr. O'Donnell, We are a London based car magazine, and for the upcoming issue we are interested in running a story on someone who collects designer-edition Lincolns. If you or anyone you know...

Been looking around for the locking bolts for the exhaust but not too many people sell them for the 4.6, any suggestions. David O'Donnell '97 Mark VIII LSC "Maxine II" (RIP Maxine I, 5-16-03) '91 Mark VII BB "Monica" '67 Thunderbird "Molly"

Well I was going to attempt to do the headers this weekend but when I started to jack the passenger side up (air ride off) I heard a lot of air releasing from somewhere (and it wasn't me!). I sprayed some soapy water on the bag and surroundings but couldn't find the leak. I'm wondering if the...

After seeing Sharon's exhaust I have the itch to put mine together! So any tips on putting the Kooks headers in? Besides lots of alcohol and time! I'm going to attempt it this weekend but I really don't anticipate having it done. David O'Donnell '97 Mark VIII LSC "Maxine II" (RIP Maxine I...

Found a local guy selling the heads and intake off his smashed cobra. What would be a good price for them and is it worth it? Or would I be better off taking the original heads off and getting them ported, polished, etc. David O'Donnell '97 Mark VIII LSC "Maxine II" (RIP Maxine I, 5-16-03)...

Not me! A co-worker's brother moved back to IL from NY and they would not let him get an IL liscense because, get this, back in 1964 he was accused of a DUI and hit and run. The state wants him to pay some kind of fine and get coverage through the insurance company they recommended. Insurance...

I'm not sure where to start looking, my windshield wipers work fine but the wiper fluid won't come out. I haven't drove the car in about 4 months so I thought maybe the fluid evaporated or had left deposits in the motor. I filled it up just to make sure it had fluid but no fluid is making its...

There's this guy at work that keeps on singing it and its getting on my nerves because it gets stuck in my head and then I start singing it. I thought that if I download it and keep playing it maybe would annoy him so much that he would shut up. The only problem is that I can't find the darn...

I'm curious if anyone has made purchases out of the country from a private party? I'm concerned because its a large purchase (motorcycle) and the seller wants half now and half on delivery. Its a great buy but I'm not sure if its worth the chance of losing the money. Someone was telling me...

Buddy of mine found a SC T-Bird in a local yard and removed the supercharger off of it. He said it was a '92 and the supercharger was a M-90 eaton. Looked it up on the net and the descrition of the supercharger said that it could be used on 3.8 - 5.0L engines. Has anyone ever tried using one...

A guy at work is selling his mark for $13K with 44K miles on it. Its in great condition (garage kept) and he says it has all options except for the heated seats (I think). I'm not sure how much he is willing to negotiatie the price but if interested let me know and I can give you all the...

I know there is a lot of you that may be able to find this out for me or may alread know, the Movie Blade, the first scene in the club with the blood spraying all over the vampires, what song is playing? Its some kind of techno beat, reminds me of something Prodigy might have done. I've been...

I don't know how to really describe it except it sounds like when you turn the treble all the way down. This has been a problem on my past two Mark 8's with after market stereo's. I ran new wire for everything in both. It seemed like when I had the volume cranked the sound would become...

Recently the temperature in Chicago went from about 65 to 25 in about a day and a half. The front end of the car dropped to the ground. I didn't think anything of it because my VII has done that in the past with extreme changes in temperature. The car raised itslef when started and drove...

I'm heading out there between 7 and 8 with some guys from work. Anyone interested??? David O'Donnell '97 Mark VIII LSC "Maxine II" (RIP Maxine I, 5-16-03) '91 Mark VII BB "Monica" '67 Thunderbird "Molly"

My mother's '89 grand marquis is having problems, unfortunately she's in Florida and I'm in Illinois so its a little difficult to see whats going on. I was told that the lights to the instrument cluster, daytime running lamps, and outside reflector lights are not working. I'm assuming its a...
