Huh. It's from an Ignition coil resistor. Never heard of one before. Ill have to find connector 120.

Does anyone have or can anyone get the pin outs for the these connections? 90 Tbird LX, PS side of the dash.
 
Your car has a distributor, then. It's usually under the hood, near the coil.
It sets the current in the coil.

The dash that the car is from did, yes. My car is an SC, and the 302 it has has 4.6 coil packs.

The black and blue connectors are the ones with the circuits you need, the yellow connector has the ARC/ABS/fog light/handbrake light etc circuits
 
Anyone have a 94-97 PS side tail light they'd let go cheap? Does not have to bring good condition. Little cracks and chips are preferable

I have a few in varying conditions. Is this for the drift car? Do you even need it to have working LEDs? A couple of them were also previously gutted for installing sequential turn signals and are now empty inside.

Yup, for the drift car. I am looking for the corner specifically, but if you have gutted trunk lights I'd take those too

Got it. Yeah, I just have the main lights for the trunk lid. I sent you a PM with pics.
 
Just found out earlier tonight that my dad has a small possibility of having cancer. I'm not worried about right now and will wait for tests before freaking out or not freaking out.

Biopsy is ~8 weeks out 😑.

Hope it’s nothing serious. Waiting 8 weeks for a biopsy seems a bit long.

They must not be too concerned about waiting.
 
Unfortunately, that is something we have to deal with as we get older. That, or heart trouble is what will kill most of us.
The first meeting with the cancer doc sux. but not nearly as bad as the last one.
BTW,if you smoke: quit. emphazema and COPD is a horrible way to go.
All the guys eating opiates like candy are fucked when they get to the hospice care part of things. Without morphine working, you are awake for it all.
:(

It is a bit long, but part of that wait is for surgery. This possibility was found as part of pre-op checks for his upcoming scheduled surgery for an unrelated matter.

I don't smoke. I've tried it and never liked it. I drink socially and even then, I limit my consumption to no more than 5 drinks and spread them out.
 
My last memory of my Aunt Teen was her sitting at the picnic table outside at Easter dinner, smoking a cigarette, following it with Oxygen, and barely able to breathe. nicotine addiction is terrible.

Actually, that is how my dad went in Hospice. They had him on morphine and was basically asleep for his last 3 days.

And my neighbor had COPD, and yes, it is horrible the way it slowly kills you. He was too proud to use oxygen, idiot. He could have lived longer for his wife instead of being so selfish. Such is life.
 
Hospice, for those who haven't seen it yet, is where they keep you out with morphine, to where you don't care or freak the fuck out while you're dying. Euthanasia at that point would be kinder.
it's not like you're going to recover.

I saw it with my grandma in 2019. My other grandma had a rough end with lung cancer when I was a little kid and fairly shielded and both granddads died immediately from grabbers (the most shocking way to go for family but probably the best way for them!) but my grandma was the first person I ever visited in hospice and it was just horrible. In the very end my mom was desperately trying to reminisce with happy stories for good vibes but I pretty much just froze up seeing her like that, dark room, heavy breathing, frozen ghostly expression. Ugh.

I don’t care what anyone says she was already gone, we treat our pets better than humans in the end.

My grandpa (72, 2000) and my wife's grandma (69, 2013), I've seen them both in hospice. My grandpa was just in a very comatose sleep. I remember my wife's grandma just pressing the morphine button every few minutes. It does suck.

My oldest cousin (52, 2020), had already passed away about 30 minutes before I got to the hospice facility.

That sucks, had a ton of that in family recently, so I know what it's like.
 
Those are not the ones he's looking for, lol
I did buy the mustang koni's for the red cougar. (the rears drop right in.)
I do wonder if you could grind off the bracket and make an insert out of the mustang fronts. That depends on the final diameter. Mustangs are similar in weight and balance.

With enough determination, you can make everything work ... until it doesn't.
Even if you turned the fronts into inserts, maybe you can cut the old flanges off a stock tbird and jbweld it onto the new bilsteins.
Actual welding might just cook the oil+valves inside.

But JB weld won't hold up the weight of the car.

Someone over at TSTSNBN did weld and used a soaking wet rag to cook the body.
 
And there’s no guarantee they’ll perform any good if you did manage to make them fit given radically different suspension designs, mustangs use actual struts lol)
 
A while back someone on the FB group claimed they were using Panther platform rear shocks. Nothing wrong with trying, but I doubt they were a very good match for the IRS.
 
The rear ones are identical looking to the konis on Lazarus. When DLF and I talked to koni in '12 or so, they told me I bought the only set sold in the previous 10 years.
Koni wanted a guaranteed 50 set order.:rofl:
 
Maybe in 2012 you might have been able to sell 50, but not now. Even back then, getting people to commit was a PITA.
