That is on the top of my "To Do" list for the Mark.... just not sure what exactly LOLPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a little research and see how simple the system is before you spend any money on a coil spring conversion kit. It is usually easier and cheaper to fix the air system than to convert it . this place is here in East TN and his prices are good http://www.americanairsuspension.com/ Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #31 – September 30, 2010, 11:03:17 PM Well, I have been doing a little bit of research (not much yet) and so far it seems as though I have a bad pump, it runs, but does nothing. The PO collapsed the valve stem on the pump that points towards the motor and screwed on an extended valve stem with a cap onto the busted one, I have to fill the suspension with a gas station pump by removing the extended valve and filling it through the busted stem and if I don't get the cap on there fast enough all the air bleeds out...

I found out today I am only the third owner, the original owner bought it here and sold it about a year and a half ago to the dude I bought it from. I also found almost a book full of warranty documents, some from Ford and some from outside carriers, it's pretty interesting. Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #35 – October 12, 2010, 10:35:47 AM Got a lot of work done on the Mark in the past few days. Got my power windows working, changed the oil, replaced the valve cover gaskets, plugs,wires,cap and rotor,new MSD coil, fuel filter, air filter, changed tranny fluid/filter (which was surprisingly clean, didn't find a trace of any metal shavings in the pan) got my power assist braking back, and refilled the air ride via the shrader valve on the compressor and turned the air ride off and it hasn't leaked down a bit! (Still more work to do to get it functional, but at least it's off the ground LOL). I also polished my lights. I used the 6 dollar turtle wax kit at wal mart, and I am pretty impressed with the results for the price.Before: After: Quote Selected

My new LSC!! Reply #41 – October 13, 2010, 10:26:15 PM welcome to the club. you got to keep the air ride! I have two 89's one coil and one air. I wish I had two air!!!!!on air LSCon coils Bill blass Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #42 – October 13, 2010, 10:39:27 PM My air ride isn't really functional yet (bad compressor) but no way I'm swapping to coils. I've looked at your satin black Mark quite a few times...... Nice job. I'd like to find some of those 16" turbines with the polished lip.... those would look badass Quote Selected
My new LSC!! Reply #43 – January 03, 2011, 03:58:40 PM So the Mark has come a long way since I brought it home. Air ride is fully functional, brakes (minus the ABS) are fully functional. I have been doing a little bit here and there, it gets hard to do anything major because it is still my DD for another month or two. I also painted the intake and installed a strut tower brace (done a few minutes ago..). I still need to touch up some areas (on the brace) and do away with the hideous coil wire (when I replaced the wires the coil wire in the box was too short) and clean the engine bay some more, but right now I am pretty happy with the way it is coming along. Let me know what you guys think... good or bad! Quote Selected
