The last version of the Cougar was based on the Ford Contour/Mondeo.

They probably share most of the same parts

My Dad and Mom have a '86 T-Bird its Mercury counterpart was a Cougar during adjacent years ('83-'86), I've snatched many a part off of them, at auto salvage yards to repair the T-Bird

Keep us informed as to your progress

Its just a vacuum hose elbow. go to a salvage yard and you will able to find an elbow, you can cut it. then splice it into the vacuum line. You may find the whole vacuum harness.
