Look what I scored at Harry's U-Pull It!! July 02, 2005, 11:11:13 PM Went to Harry's U-Pull it in Hazelton PA and scored this V8 instrument cluster! These are hard to find! I couldn't believe how many 84-88 TBird and Cougars their were. Many V8 ones too. James Quote Selected

Re: Look what I scored at Harry's U-Pull It!! Reply #2 – July 03, 2005, 12:29:30 AM I assume 84-88? I know they will fit 87-88. It came out of a 4/88 car. James Quote Selected

Re: Look what I scored at Harry's U-Pull It!! Reply #6 – July 03, 2005, 08:52:35 AM I lucked onto the '88 Sport cluster at a u-pull it for $20. If you can't find the V8 cluster, its easy enough to convert the '87-'88(not the '85-'86 though) Turbo Coupe 4cyl tach to 8 cyl operation. Just used it and and a little backward engineering to to convert the TC tachs(luckly Eric thought it would be a good addition for Cool Cats).http://www.coolcats.net/tech/advanced/4to8tach.htmlMy gem is the 140 mph speedo I found in a TC at another self service yard for $20....

They use to advertise "u pull it" engines for 50 bux no matter what the engine was.From Pitts, take the turnpike and hit 81 south for about 6 miles or so. Look for it on the left, their sign was a bunch of cars stacked up like a pole sign. I guess you could take 30 or 80 to save toll. Quote Selected

I have a TC cluster and I was going to that as you mentioned but having a nice V8 one is better since I dont have to modify anything.You scored a 140mph one? I bet you shiznit your pants when you saw that!! I also looked in every Grand Marquis, Crown Vic, Fairmont, Tbird and Cougar for that special clock/tripminder and found only one in a 83 C.V. They have one T.C. in there as well. Alot of V8 ones which really surprised me. If you are looking for the motor mounts then that is the place you will find them. James Quote Selected

Maybe in your area they are common? I have seen alot of the full digital dash ones but for some reason I find them only in Cougars. Hmmm.......James Quote Selected
Re: Look what I scored at Harry's U-Pull It!! Reply #13 – July 03, 2005, 02:26:41 PM theres lots of 87-88 xr7 cougars here with the anolog clster. I think they are v-8's too. Should I pick them up and sell them here? They are usally here in my area. They usally heve anywhere from 25 to 50 t-bird cougars or mark here. Sometimes more. I also didnt pick up a trip computer thingy last time I was there. I am flat broke again. I usally find a trip computer every other time I go. Quote Selected
Re: Look what I scored at Harry's U-Pull It!! Reply #14 – July 03, 2005, 02:35:53 PM They must all be 88 XR7s, cause the 87s had full digital. :hick: Quote Selected
