You got that right I can look at a GMC and reconize the parts and they look like they are suppose too, but when I look at FORD I'm scratching my head mumbling to myself "what that Hale is that" But I gues sI'm going to have learn what they look like My wife just got herself a used Merc. Cougar, runs great, drives like a dream.[/QUOTE]Nice thing about Cougar/Thunderbirds is there are a lot of them about, so parts, if needed are still fairly cheap. If memory serves, the Cougar was a decent car, especially with the 302 in it. A decent shop manual, and yer set. A lowering kit, window tint, Paxton blower, Nitrous kit and you'll have one mean grocery getter.
