The conversion kit worked great. Easy to install. The only item that would have completed the package is the body plug for the firewall where the vacuum hoses went through. I would strongly suggest you had the body plug to the kit to make it everything you need.
This kit is the best. Had a couple of hiccups on the install but that was fixed with a WCCC vid, two emails and one phone call (FYI: One of the emails and the phone call only count as one contact because I messed up my timezones conversion from STL) I was so impressed with the ingenuity that went behind this to a place my old vacuum system that was causing my eyelids to raise after about 45 minutes of being closed. It was extremely easy figure out and install. I'm a novice when it comes to The nuances of my Cougar and the folks at WCCC were prompt to respond to emails and phone calls and explain things very easily. I cannot thank them enough and will continue to purchase many items from them in the years to come. One point to note that after I installed my headlight conversion kit was not operational due to my battery having less than 13 volts. New battering work like a charm.
Very easy to install, Plug and Play all electrical work is all up front. Works great, Engine Bay looks a little cleaner. If you added horsepower to your Cat I would recommend. The Purist would not be happy....
The parts are well made and fit into the existing brackets perfectly. No more tracing vacuum leaks and watching the headlight covers slowly raise over time. Plus the electronic actuator seems to make the covers go up and down faster without causing them to slam. great for flashing lights at someone during the day. If you do purchase this, please watch the WCCC video on it. The directions were confusing to me.
They work great. see the cons.
This kit was the answer to years of vacuum trouble with my headlight doors. The kit was of high quality and the instructions were easy to follow. It was ridiculously easy to install and worked flawlessly the first time I turned the lights on. This conversion kit is a must have to upgrade your tired vacuum system.
As a Flight Chief for the USAF (Civil Servant) and managing 5 avionics shop I can attest to the quality of this product as being that of aircraft equivalent. It is currently installed on my 70 Cougar and operates better than the original vacuum system. Installation skill level I would rate at the novelist level (take the time to watch the WCCC video before installing) I really enjoy how it cleaned up my engine compartment after all the vacuum hardware was removed. Yes, a little pricey but end result well worth it!
I ordered this knowing I might have to make some changes to work on my Ranchero. I used the factory vacuum canister brackets to mount the electric motor. Worked grear. I did find out to not turn the door shaft. If you flip it it puts athe motor in a bind. I then had to make one other change to make it work. The adjustable motor arm that comes with the kit is to short for the Ranchero. It is 4 and 11/16 inch long. I made one that is 6 1/2 inch long and it works perfect. I am very pleased with this kit and can't believe how good it works.
