This is probably obvious, but if you pull out the speedo cable from transmission you should be able to see the color of the drive gear on the output shaft.   I think either 6 or 7 tooth drive gear will work with 3.50 gears (there is some overlap),  but of course will require different driven gears.   The difference between 6 and 7 tooth drive gear could explain close to 20% error.

Does anyone have the part/eng number for the Cougar switch handy?
Thanks,  Kurt.

#1242 - 2 hole style.   SA completion 3/15/67.

The latest understanding is that Radio suppression wires were typically used.

If you imagine the light source from the right it looks reverse stamped.
Imagine light source from the left and it looks correct.
Noticed this same effect many times on VIN photos - this one really is stamped from the top.  It's a mind trick.

Optical illusion - keep staring at it and blink your eyes - it will switch from one to the other.

If you haven't removed the valve yet I would recommend using this or similar tool to pull the ball stud from the pitman arm - also works great on tie rods and ball joints with no damage.     GearWrench 3916D:  This is a great tool!     Kurt.

With brake master cylinder tube seats, they are removed by running in a self tapping screw into the seat hole and pulling them out.  The screws are even included in many rebuild kits.  I suspect the same method would work well with the control valve.

Installing a new seat probably best done using the actual hose or hard line where the flare contacts the tube seat rather than trying to press in with some sort of flat tool that may flatten or distort the sealing surface.

StangersSite has a lot of info and tutorials about power steering system, a good read about what to look for when rebuilding: Search through the site.

Holy tuck and roll Batman!

There was a thread about this car on the site before the crash.  At that time I believe the car was in Sweden.
