    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    OK after many attempts and trials it comes out to being a broken valve spring on the #2 cylinder. I had no idea that the heat from the engine and cold outside would do that (valve work vs not working) until I took a look at the broken spring. Case closed painfully but fixed.:Bang :Beer

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    One last issue could be a bad batch of gas. It didn't start until after the 4th or 5th day which is the day after I filled up the tank. 1 week later I was there again (as it still ran bad) and all the 92 octane was covered up with bags. AT $3.15 a gallon I doubt it was flying out of there. The...

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    They are Autolite Iridium Extreme Perfomance XP 104 I bought at NAPA Auto Parts here in The Seattle, WA area from the guys and gal we have worked with there for over 12 years. Thats what they have listed as stock when I was at Ford and NAPA. As you all know, this sweet ride costs you to...

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    OK so I have the plugs out now, etc....they are all coated in a somewhat hard black substance (carbon?) that you can scrape off w/ your thumb. Its equal on all plugs. Only things that have changed again, are plug wires and plugs.

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    Good to know for the future..I did use a coin style to gauge it but only slid it in a bit then gently lifted up not using the plug for leverage so I wouldn't possably bend or dammage the point. Most of them didn't need any adjusting and the 2 or 3 that did was very very minor (.001-.0025) or...

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    Plugs are brand new as well and were set at .048 when i checked them all which was a recomended gapping. The plugs themselves are the so called listed stock "iridium/platinum High perfomance" plugs from NAPA Auto Parts and better work dang good at $7+ a piece. But I am about to pull it all apart...

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    ya I am, I used both the chilton and actual 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII manual to triple check everything before putting it all back together, what gets me is that its basically only the first 15 min or the engine running that its shaking so bad but unless I can figure out it being something else...

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    OK this MAY BE a little off topic but I did use the wires and did a tune up and it ran great and suprised there was a difference a higher RPMs with these wires. Heres my "OFF" topic question. Now my MK8 runs really rough after a few days with these when you first start up/drive 15 min. Shakes...

    Performance Plug Wires? (Nology?)

    I have my original coils and they ALL work fine, don't know and don't care at the moment that there is something better. Lifetime warranty is all I care about really, plus the cool little blue capictors LMFAO. There's always going to be room for improvement as your Momma might say and I will...

    Rear Speakers in a Mark VIII?

    I am not totally sure about the Gen II's but am pretty dang sure they are 5X7/6X8 like the Gen 1's which are the same overall size, one just has a little more woofer area. Personally I would go with a set that has multi directional tweeters and sounds warm with good human voice "punch" through...
