    what is up with this website and the embedded virus popups or is it just me?

    I don't blame them for monetizing with ads, I really like this site, and my ad blocker works just fine.

    what is up with this website and the embedded virus popups or is it just me?

    I've been using "AdBlocker Ultimate" and "AdBlocker for YouTube" for about eight years - the free versions. I never get any crap urging me to "upgrade" to the non-free version. No popups or ads of any kind, in fact even with legit streaming sites with ads - there are no ads, nothing to indicate...

    Headers 98 Mark base

    I just checked Supercoupe Performance, and the headers I paid about $800 for a few years ago are now a little over $1,000...democrats. Anyway, hope it all works out for you.

    Headers 98 Mark base

    Thank you for the compliment! If you're thinking of going ahead with the headers swap, keep in mind that your total cost will probably be at least $2,000. For me, I believe if the car's in good condition it's worth the improved power and mileage, especially since (thanks democrats) these days...

    Headers 98 Mark base

    The Borla part number is BOR-400286; it's 2.5" inlets and outlets. I apologize for the typo in my June 29th comment, I never noticed it until wonering why you were looking up a 2" Borla. The Supercoupe headers made by Kooks are very high quality and a perfect fit in the extremely cramped engine...

    In Search of Parts

    You've probably already tried this but, if not, go to the 'Pick-n-Pull' websites in your area, see if there's a correct Mark VIII with a good grill. On the West Coast any grill is $36.00, take it off yourself. Also, you can have their website notify by email when one arrives. Pick-n-Pull is my...

    Headers 98 Mark base

    I'm in the People's Republic of California, but for five years I've had no problem with smog checks...for four reasons: (1) it's an LSC with OEM true dual exhaust; (2) the headers come with bungs for the oxygen sensors - all my smog junk is fully functional; (3) it's got 75,000 pampered miles...

    Headers 98 Mark base

    My 1998 Mark VIII LSC has Kooks headers from Supercoupe Performance, twin cats, a Borla 2 in/2 out center mount muffler, and it's 2 1/2" stainless steel "Trubendz" (very poor fit, but I got them in) back to a pair of Chinesium resonators. Bottom line...absolutely noticeable increase in power...

    Oil filter adapter gasket question

    [1] The oil filter housing on the Mark VIII also routes water to the thermostat housing; it's a very likely spot for a bad gasket to let oil (high pressure) into the cooling system (low pressure). [2] The correct FEL-PRO part number for the oil filter housing is 70415, according to the FEL-PRO...

    98 Mark VIII Drivers seat motors/transmission

    I don't believe this is very likely, but perhaps the seat attachment points on the floor pan are not all exactly level. Tightening the seat hold-down bolts and nuts would cause binding on the seat tracks. If that's the problem, it could have caused the previous gear set to strip out; binding at...

    Found Want To Buy: "Collector's Edition" door trim badge.

    I need one of the door trim badges from the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII door trim strip; not the entire trim piece.

    97 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC intermittent bucking/jerking under load

    I know nothing about NC 3d cat delete law, but I'd be very surprised if it's legal - it's an alteration of the OEM emissions system. I used a Borla center mounted (2 x 2.5" in and 2 x 2.5" out with internal x-pipe) XL 400286 with Kooks headers. Be warned: the Trubendz 2.5" pipes fit around the...

    97 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC intermittent bucking/jerking under load

    Could be a bad O2 sensor; at full throttle the PCM relies on the MAF alone. Good luck...
