Re: The Might Pinto
Pintos! I had a 1976 Pinto Pony MPG Sedan, automatic. No power anything, turned like a 51 De Soto, with flat tires.
It finally ended up with a Holley 390, ISKY Cam, headers, tweeked distributor. That 2.3 litre motor was sweet, all standard SAE on the outside, metric on the inside. 5 mains, with a 75 lb. crankshaft. German Ford.
With the MPG gearing, that little bugger would top out at around 115 mph. Used to ***** off, and beat, psudo-sports cars like the Porche 924.
Man, every time some fool starts badmouthing Pintos, I want to punch 'em. I pity da fool...
Your Plymouth sounds like something out of the Blues Bros. Cop tires, cop engine, cop brakes...etc..
