Yah, that hydroboost's not anything most folks here will know anything about. But yes, that 3 post booster fits in 3 of the holes the Teves fit into. (Or maybe there's a plug for one of the bolts, not sure, don't remember, but the TBird booster from the LX bolts right in.) RwP

The Teves Mk II isn't a hydroboost, and isn't connected to the power steering lines at all. If it's hydroboost, it's not a Teves ABS, and there's no telling what booster will fit in its place.

Well if you don't use the EVO valve, you'll get full power steering assist all the time, and it may feel light on the highway. WITH EVO, it firms up at speed to keep road feel. If the EVO valve fits, it's an EVO pump and reservoir. RwP

I'm going to say, from my past experience, the problem is the CARDONE on the rebuild. Might want to see if you can find a Raybestos or other reman'ed brand someplace like Amazon. RwP

RESISTOR - yes. SPEED CONTROLLER - no. For the EATC, the speed is infinitely variable (almost!), so it's a pass transistor and some support parts, not a simple resistor. RwP

So the front upper cowl, both pieces? Good news - 1989-1992 swaps. Bad news - you'll have hell to pay to find a good pair. (Has anyone scanned and set up a 3D printer file for those yet?) RwP

Front, rear, right, left? RwP

Alas, no; they dim ever so slightly until they turn off. SBL and VLEDS both stock dimmable ones, though; I was cheap. Should be no flicker on a DC circuit; I don't notice any anyway. RwP

Heh. I meant desoldering the transistor ... the module itself is easy to swap. Somewhere along the way either the heater core sprung a leak, or the drain plug plugged. That's about all that will cause that to rust like that. RwP

I bought mine from SuperBrightLEDS . I'd also recommend buying warm white LEDs, so that all the colors light up. VLEDS.COM also has a good reputation. RwP

Good news - most common failure seems to be that TO3 power transistor, and it's still available from folks like Mouser and DigiKey. It's a pain to remove and replace, but that, and a new electrolytic, should restore it to proper operation. Yes, I have one, but it's my spare for my 1991 Cougar...

Buy better bulbs. The cheap eBay or Amazon LEDs will quit quickly. RwP

To amplify MadMikeys' comments, you can find load / PSI tables on the Internet for most sizes of tires. Here's one that works for most usages...
