Do you know if the coach lights work? If not, I may have a fix in a month or two.

Not sure, I'll test them but i don't want to put too much power to them and burn them out... Anyone know whats safe to run them at?

That car was an '83 LS with the V6. The silver cluster was base- and LS-only for 1983 Cougars. In 1984 the cluster was slightly darker in color. And it was a V6 car because all V8 cars from 1983-88 had the AOD transmission; those markings are for a C5.

I'm actually not positive what the transmission was, I just figured it was an AOD since it was so much like the heritage bird and an Automatic as well that was in there before, It did have a V8 in it for sure.

And yea, theres also an '84 cougar in the yard and the cluster looked kinda funny...
It was basicly the same black scheme as the birds, Just lighter~Kinda like silver streaky... I thought someone just took some sandpaper and horizontaly sanded it or something. :hick:
Found this pic out of an '83 on ebay:

Looks like the '84 cluster but not the one i got.

That odometer only goes to 99,999. It has probably rolled over. Maybe more than once.

Yes i just read up on that from other posts.
I thought if the first digit was sitting lower it meant it rolled over, But from what i've read~it's if the second digit is sitting lower it has rolled over once or something.
And does anyone know if it means anything if the first digit is setting level with the "lowered" second digit?
