Body/Appearance/Interior / 1988 cougar LS side bump stripes
Has anyone ever removed those funky bump stripes that run down the sides of the Cougars?  And if show how did you remove them-that glue they use is super glue or something... I would rather have the bump stripes but the ones on the car are shot, any place where I can buy new ones?????

Engine Tech / 1988 Cougar oil pan/oil pump
my digital oil gauge show one bar then a blank spot then two more bars, I replaced oil pressure sending unit, gauge still remains same,  I removed sending unit and installed a standard oil pressure gauge.  when I start the engine the oil pressure show 48 to 50 pounds (idle) as engine warms up the oil pressure start to drop eventually down to 5 -10 pounds at idle.  If I raise the rpm the oil pressure does not go up...  could this be a bad oil pump or blocked oil pickup screen or bad bearings?

engine is a fuel injected 302 v8 with 161,000 miles .oil and filter has always been changed every 3500 mile since I owned it (98,000) miles.  If I have to change the oil pump can I do so by undoing the motor mounts and using my engine hoist-  hoist the engine up enough for the pan to clear the crossmember-allowing enough room to drop the pan???
