Mustang leaf springs do not fit a Cougar. But thank you for all the comments.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Wheel hop is bad, » 3/08/2025 8:00 AM |
Being a cougar leaf spring variety is limited. I would have to go with their HD springs or modify my own. Which sounds like my price point option. Also have a pinion snubber on the way too.
Thank you for the tips.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Wheel hop is bad, » 3/07/2025 7:17 AM |
I have bad wheel hop with my 68 Cougar. Hoping to find a financially responsible cure.
Entire suspension is new but in stock format. Axle, springs, shocks etc.
Small block with T5 3:80 gears.
Most options I see are 400 dollars and up. Im hoping for a simpler cost effective solution other than not doing a burnout ever again.

Swap Meet » Wanted drives side axle for 1966 8" 28 spline » 1/10/2025 12:26 PM |
I have the axles out of my car and was replacing the bearings. The previous owner looks like he used every possible weapon to beat the old bearing off. So I need to replace it, if any one has a spare please contact me.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Power steering is squealing » 11/30/2024 11:51 AM |
68 Cougar with borgeson conversion and the saginaw pump. Pump is only 4 months old but it is squealing on low rpm turns and is getting worse. Really bad right after start up.
Any suggestions to look at before I order a new one?

The wife and I are heading to Indiana to have thanksgiving with family. We are taking the 68 Cougar, so if you see a 68 in Birmingham, Nashville, Louisville or Indianapolis dont worry it is just me.
Weather is normal for this time of the year so a little snow donut or two may occur.

Could you cut out a stock bezel and fit the panel in it. Would make a cleaner look.

The gauge has a bi-metal that bends when heated. The heater wire is the only thing electrical about the gauge, and has a resistance in the range of 16-18 ohms for 68 and older cars. The IVR (instrument voltage regulator) pulses 12v to give an average of 5v. That goes to the gauge, and then from there to the sender which has a resistance value of 10 ohms on high to 73 ohms on low, and that connects to chassis ground. That's all there is- the IVR, gauge, and sender. If the water and fuel work, you know the IVR is OK.
Thanks, this will give me what I need to test it.

I have resolved the issue with the amp gauge. But the oil gauge is still grounded. Next step to to pull the dash and chase the sender lead. Also have a couple extra oil gauges I will check to be sure the issue is not in the gauges itself.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Electrical issue in my 68 Cougar. » 5/24/2024 6:56 PM |
Tested new switch and it is good, bought a second switch and installed. The gauges are still pegged out.
Went under looking for exposed or pinched wires, nothing. Resorted to leaving the ignition on and just grabbing and wiggling wires under the dash I could reach. No change.

Just replaced my ignition switch in my 68 Cougar. Now I have an electrical issue with gauges, believe I have a short.
My oil gauge is pegged out and my amp gauge is -60 with the ignition on. More curious is my low fuel light is on without the ignition on and it is not even connected at the tank.
Im sure I have an issue under the dash but can anyone narrow possibilities before I go under there. I have a bad back that limits movement or time under there.
Thanks

Do you still have the factory transmission dampener attached?
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Changing GEARS » 3/26/2024 4:50 AM |
Ford Performance Parts Super-Duty T-5 Transmissions M-7003-Z5th is .63 so it works good for me with the 3:80 and rural highways. Still a good rpm for interstate
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Changing GEARS » 3/25/2024 7:49 AM |
I agree, I live in an area with highways no interstates. Can't use 5th gear under 60 mph with my 325 I had, so I switched to 380 gears from Quick performance. Great choice

Beltline weather kit

door glass to roof
door bumpers

Thank you..... I would post a pic of the car but I haven't figured out how to yet.
FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Finely got my Hper lights hooked up » 1/29/2024 11:46 AM |
I went with the LED in my tail lights of my Cougar. I think they are more than bright enough to get attention of other drivers.
