    First year of Mark 8

    I personally think Lincoln did an excellent job on the first year build of the Mark VIII for 1993 (with exception of the headlamps). Many features were introduced as standard on the Mark VIII that became highly sought options across the domestic automobile landscape. Surprisingly, they did such...

    Manuals available?

    There is no substitute for experience. There are many who have perfected their art of working on the FN10 platform without following the factory manual. I find multiple repair sections in the factory manual are inordinately detailed to no purpose when the norm is simply to replace the part in...

    Aww man... tell me I'm getting old without telling me I'm getting old. 🥱 "Markviii.org" is the precursor to "lincolnsofdistinction.org". "Leo" is none other than "LeoC2"... Leo Cerruti, a long time member who passed on in 2020...

    Lincoln Markaro

    Congratulations on finding and acquiring this one of a kind Lincoln! Just curious, do you have other Mark VIII's or perhaps had previous ones? How did you exactly find the Markaro? By happenstance? :unsure: Welcome to the Lincolns of Distinction! :)

    transmission rebuild

    I've gotten transmissions 'refreshed' (just new clutches with no other hard parts) for around $400 (long ago). I've got two in the garage I bought used locally and had them inspected and 'refreshed' which cost less than $500 each a couple years ago. Last one I had 'rebuilt' (virtually all new...
