Check the pistons inside the calipers, usually they are the reason brakes lock up.
FFS on a 1990 Cougar stands for feedback fuel system.
The firing order for a 1990 Cougar 3.8 is 1-4-2-5-3-6. The number one cylinder is the front one on the passenger side.
The starter is located on the front side of the transmission in this model of the Mercury Cougar. If you need to work on it make sure the transmission is cold so as you do not burn yourself.
Right rear, Left rear, Right front, Left front was the standard procedure.
you need to take off the master cylinder and the accumulator and replace it with a master cylinder from a non antilock vehicle like a thunderbird or cougar from about 1985 to 1988.
May have air in the system and have to be bled Check the flexible brake lines (front) to make sure they are not ruptured and are ballooning when brakes are applied

If your brakes are ineffective, you have a problem, part of that problem is that your truck is 23 years old. Why don't you change the fluid, replace the front pads and rear shoes. Replace the front rotors and rear drums. Inspect the rubber brake lines as they may be collapsing. Replace the master cylinder. Do all this if it is all necessary and I bet you have good brakes again. Fix the problem or problems and you will not have ineffective brakes.
The 1990 uses a t50. The 89 is probably the same.
