    Description

    This conversion will replace the old, tired, vacuum system that likes to leak and wear out. There are few differences between the 1969 and 1970 conversion kit.

    This kit consists of an electric actuator assembly (new Mazda Miata motor) with a plug and play wiring loom for easy installation. Simply remove all existing vacuum components and replace with this kit to have headlight covers that work under any conditions with the car running or not. These new motors are smoother and more reliable than previous versions that utilized the Ford Probe motors and are fully adjustable. There is a provision for the Halo light conversions if your car is so equipped. Do not be fooled by the multiple knock offs out there. This is a quality set-up with plugs that integrate with your original wiring, powder coated bracketry (not reconditioned motors) and the WCCC service you have grown accustomed to. Keep in mind we can offer in store credit for your quality used take off vacuum parts. They are not highly valuable but others who want to keep their car very original will be grateful and WCCC can issue a call tag for shipping via UPS.

    Detailed instruction sheet included.

    If you have a high performance engine with low vacuum, this is a must have kit for your Cougar.

    Actuator Heim joints are fully adjustable to keep your grille and headlight lids nice and straight without slack. Another advantage of this electric system is that it doesn't put constant pressure on your grille like the original vacuum system does.

    These kits have a 3 year full warranty against manufacturer defects.

    Pros:
    • Works well. Video was a big help
    Cons:
    • Fit was a bit of trouble
    This was fairly easy to install. The video found here really helped. The only issue I had was the actuator kept jamming into the headlight rod when closing. No matter what adjustments it kept doing it. I decided to add 2" extension where it bolts on to the headlight rod to drop the actuator and it works no problem now. Clears it every time.
