Okay, thank you for this. Now that I know, I am going to leave these release levers alone. My purpose was to properly align the headlamps. The PO...

Press the rubber toward the light housing and then pull the clip forward. As Ken says, this disengages the clip holding headlight to the lower...

It is to release the bottom clip that holds the light housing on the headlight adjustment stud. Obviously the top two clips are easily accessed. By...

Cougar Eliminator one of my dream cars!

I used to use a Maaco shop in the city on Western. The painter was really good, you just needed to do all of the prep work. Shop is long gone.

You can still get the plug wire keepers that mount on the valve cover bolt studs in the help section of most parts stores. Those 2 bolts/studs are...

This is the one I see recommended.. https://www.gates.com/us/en/search.p.8701-000000-000000.v.8701-07535.html it's a 7535, you just need 2 of...

Yep, Sheib's advertised price didn't include any masking at all, you either paid an up-charge or had to deliver the car with your own masking over...

O'Reilly's is fine, but I wouldn't put my trust in the MasterPro line, would likely pony up for the Gates belts. No, that is not the stock routing...

Yep, and this one didn't get the Ups and Extras.

Thanks for getting back to me. Maybe I just see too much of "Is this still available" on FaceBook etc. As I said I'm negotiable on price. Let me...

Sorry, lots going on here. Hope you aren't messed with, but not sure if I can use them.

Nice, thanks! Any idea the lengths offhand, or should I trust in O'Reilly's? (I work for Ford so would love to get Motorcraft belts but njot sure...

I was almost thinking more like: BTW, the bezel wasn't broken back in the August listing, so someone fat fingered the odo reset...:doh:

Yep, stock setup on your car, bad listing for the belt. Just match the lengths of the ones you have left (slightly shorter of course) and call it a...

So you have a 1 of 3 and certified only survivor, that is CRAZY! One gorgeous unicorn you have there...:drevil:

Welcome! cant see anything wrong there, my guess is just a old belt. there's nothing special about the belt, but they do recommend a 'matched set'...

Thanks, Ted! Here are a few quick photos I'd taken when the failure occured. I can take different angles if needed: Records from the previous PO...

Actually, that Cougar is one of 13 Competition Yellow, Cobra Jet Eliminators and 10 of those 13 had C-6 transmissions, the other 3 had close-ratio...

I bet that Cougar is more rare than the Vette you were chasing! Nice. I have a soft spot in my skull for those. My high school girlfriend had a 70...

Maaco strikes again.

Odd that they didn't repaint it the original color. Why go through the hassle of doing a color change? Have to do the jams and such. And fix the...

Yep, that one sold last August for $5,000 per the previous Ebay listing. It gained a silver paint job and ~2,000 miles. Looking at the pics, that...

Welcome! Car does look good in the pic, likely just a storage related failure on the belts. Stay away from generic/cheap belts, other than that you...

Welcome. Nice looking 9L. Is that the original paint?

The belts aren't original (NAPA) but they have a ton of dry rot/cracks - the car was stored for a number of years. HOPING it was just its time. Weird...

Apple-land, wow! :cheers: Welcome! Hopefully the belt was already about done, and it's not a sign of something else. They look good in white!

Cool Cougar story, that is quite the re-acquisition story and amazing the car still exists in reasonable condition. I almost orchestrated a trade of...
