CANADIAN CUSTOMER: Due to the Canada Postal Service strike, we recommend choosing DHL Express.
Note: UPS Mail Innovations is delivered by the post office and Canadian deliveries will be affected by the strike.

International Customers Click Here [Updated 6/2024]

International Customers

Due to some ongoing challenges with the software we use to generate customs data and print shipping labels for international orders,
orders may take upto 7 days before we are able to generate the shipping label. If the order has USED item or items that need to be shipped from the supplier to us, it can take significantly longer.

Also be aware that even though we ship items with the proper documentation to show that duties and taxes are prepaid, some Postal Services are ignoring this and still charging these fees at delivery. If this occurs to you, please send us a copy of the receipt showing the tracking number with the fees paid and we can get the Duties/Taxes we charged to you refunded.

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

Turkey Customers

The international shipping software we use requires that we pre-collect and pre-pay the duties and taxes. Because of recent changes to Turkey import laws, Turkey no longer supports this. Because of this you will need to use a shipping broker for us to ship items to you.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

Works like a champ

Cons:

The original IVR on my 68 Cougar (with a dash out of a 67 XR7) went bad so I took the opportunity for a forced upgrade. Its only a few bucks more than a used one and its not as if my car is even pretending to be all-original. This solid state IVR appears to be identical in size and shape to the original but the appearance of the exposed circuit board is a dead give away but aside from the guilt of lying to yourself about the originality no judge is going to know the difference.

If you dexterous in your left hand you can replace this part with out pulling the cluster out by unscrewing the climate controls and working through the opening. At least in my non-ac car with an average sized hand.

Not made in the USA like described.

One of the big reasons I bought this one from WCCC was it stated it was made in the USA! In fact what arrived was not a USA part but a china one. It does look just like the pictures and appears to be a decent part(not installed yet) but I spent the extra money thinking I was getting USA part and not a Chinese one like most other vendors have. Maybe the supplier simply changed the source without notifying anyone at WCCC but please update this listing so customers know what to expect.

Cons:

I was having issues with 3 of my gauges on my '68 XR7. Oil pressure and water temp were reading too high. Fuel gauge was sometimes correct and sometimes worked backward Empty to Full. I tried new senders and verified groundings, but no change. Put this little regulator on and they are perfect. Not a calibration issue. Just a bad original voltage regulator. This dude goes on the backside of the gauge cluster....Not under the hood.
This is the modern solid state version, the one you want. Should last a long time.

Our good originals (https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/67instreg.html) have IGN (Ignition) marked beside the male spade connector (J1 on this unit).

WCCC Admin Answered:

is the J1 12v input considered switched power?

J1 is intended to get its power through the ignition switch so the power is cut when the ignition is off.
