Can someone tell me the specs on this diff? I don't remember what car this came from. It's unopened and it's been on my shelf for years.

The 08 in front of the 8.8 is likely a 3.08 gear as the 3 looks covered by the bolt head. I'm not seeing the L between the 3 and 08 which I think means open diff.
 
TSTSNBN is not resolving, it's been down for a couple of days, lol.
I think we won!
 
It was up, only bots, lol.
I still try to rescue people. :)

I've been trying to finish pumping gas; I think I AM going to have to drop the tank. Pump Sux.

I love this place!

You’ve been pumping gas from that tank since we started this place 😆
 
That is not lost on me, lol. I have a sheetmetal plate to make a cover out of, lol.
I'm seriously considering making a cutout so I can change it. I have a 190 Walbro.

BTW, I took my ford HO oil pump apart and inspected it, as Nick recommended, just to double check the machining and gear fitment. Engine for Lazarus is advancing.
 
Didn't we have a thread where we post articles about our cars?

Anyway, I'll just share right here. I came across this old Car & Driver article, a comparison including the Mark VIII. Interesting read.

Note the statement "perfect steering". I don't know about perfection. I mean, I literally do not  know; I'm not a steering expert. But I love the steering in my car (except for some low-speed heaviness); it feels lovely around twisting country roads, though the look of that rag joint is not confidence inspiring.

Wonderful day today; I learned that my Junkie ex-friend stole not only the tin snips I need to replace my fuel pump, but also the 190 walbro I bought from s4gunn. :(
I've got both ordered. It's going to be epic when I see that guy.

Finally got a chance to read this, reinforces most of my thoughts on all four cars, minus the hindsight of the Northstar being a pile after the warranty expired. One thing the article mentioned that I never noticed about the Eldorado and had to look up to see what was so supposedly clumsy about pillar/door/fender meeting and OMG!

I hosestly actually did kind of prefer the styling of them to the Mark VIII, but that really is bad!
