1 Sep 2026 - electric headlight conversion kit

 Replaced all weather pack connectors of the kit with Deutsch DT connectors.

 Now I need to connect the components and check functionality.

 The Deutsch DT series of connectors is ideal for headlights, headlight actuators.

 While installing the connectors to the wiring loom of the electric headlight actuator kit, I damaged two pins on the 4 pin connector on the driver side headlight actuator.  Ordered a Deutsch DT kit with a crimper.  I will rewire the actuators and wiring loom of the electric head light conversion kit and use Deutsch DT 4 pin connectors.  The Deutsch DT kit will be here in a couple of days or so. 

20 AUG 2026 - Electric Headlight Conversion Kit for 67-68 Mercury Cougar

 Last week I ordered an electric headlight conversion kit for the 67.  It arrived yesterday.  Package contects are a left and right actuator, and a main wiring loom.  No instructions.  Don't see that as a big deal right now, it looks pretty straight forward to install.

  

2 May 2026 - Radio Bezel

 Recently purchased a replacement radio bezel from national parts depot.  I do not have a radio that fits that bezel.  I created an insert in the area where the radio would be installed.  Now I can store the garage opener, radio remote in that spot.  I also created two inserts to cover the location of the radio knobs.

 Working on scanning the dash area to create a replacement radio bezel.  Current scans are not promising, so I'll have to spend more time on scanning techniques.

May need to get a fan blade spacer that is smaller than the stock 2 1/16" fan spacer. 

Not sure about going with an electric fan at this time...

28 NOV 2024 - Super Tach II stuff

Considering replacing the MSD ignition system with a much simpler, easier and cheaper to repair system.  So I need to look into how to properly wire the Super Tach II tachometer that is currently installed with the MSD ignition.

Here are the wiring functions for the Super Tach II:

- Green to neg coil terminal

- Black to ground

- Red to switched 12 volts

- Blue for illumination ... tap off dash or accessories lighting
