    SWAP KIT: Mark VIII Dash and Door Panel (into an SC) FOR SALE

    This is an old picture, but is the actual car/dash that I’d like to sell. The dash and door panels are from a 93-95 Lincoln Mark VIII that Jeff Bratton retrofitted to his 89 Thunderbird SC. I helped him on a few things here and there back in the early 2010’s with the swap, but the vast...

    Catchcan issues, vacuum leak? 1992 thunderbird sc

    I'm not following your description above completely, but basically the PCV system is a loop...vacuum behind the throttle plate is higher than the intake tube, so clean (metered) air will be drawn from the intake tube, through the driver's valve cover, out the passengers valve cover (thru the...

    Stalling when coming to a stop with A/C on

    Are you sure that the TB's blade stops are set up properly? Basically, the IAC should be operating at the lower end of its range at idle. The simplest way to check is see if the car will hold an idle (A/C off, in park) with the IAC unplugged. It will probably get close to dying when...

    42lbs injector swap

    What color sample tube did you use? If I recall, the 89-93 SC's, using a C&L 76mm MAFS would need a purple-coded sample tube for 42# injectors. Also might want to verify your injector size....some of the all-black Lucas ones could get mixed up easily.

    Clunking noise coming from driver side front suspension..help!!

    Oftentimes, the sway bar endlinks get play in the ball joints on each end. When you jack the car up, the struts will put the end links in a bind and make them feel tight...but at around ride height, the ball(s) will float around in the socket and rattle over bumps, tracks, etc.

    Movie producer needs 90 SC 35th anniversary edition

    I have one with around 55k miles on it in excellent condition that we would like to sell soon. No rust, nice paint, great interior. I believe it spent most of its life in the Seattle, WA area. Let me know if you would like to discuss further.

    Went over speed bump - car died

    Ignition switch would be another item to check, since they physically separate as they wear out.

    Back to my favorite wheels.....

    Back to the classic Neibert look. :cool: I liked those Ferrada's you had, but I think a little more sidewall is a good thing.

    2020 Epic Drive Call outs

    LOL...top of the list. I'm planning on it. :) SC was almost ready for the Midwest Bash, and it's one spot closer in the queue to the garage. Also have a fun little car for a backup: 2005 Focus ZX3 Will make every attempt to make it this year. :)

    Anyone ever put an SC engine in a 60's Mustang?

    I have thought a bit about it...as spacious as the enginer bays were back then, plus have the same bell-housing pattern as the 5.0L / 302, it doesn't seem like it would be hard at all.

    The best Thunderbird that I have seen. $15K, 1994, Silver, and only 8,000 miles

    Wow...that's pretty. Anyone else realize that we probably are the main opponent against the rise in value of the SC? :p We as a group (more so than any other group) influence what these cars are "worth". If "outsiders" have a car they think is worth $30k, let them ask $30k! If they find a...

    Start of engine rebuild project: Thumper

    Nice looking SC! If you have a low-mile block and the headgasket problem surfaced recently and wasn't run long, I wouldn't worry about the shortblock. Have the heads checked for cracks/warpage, have them milled if you want, clean everything up and reassemble with a new Felpro gasket set. Even...
