Does anybody know where I can get the seal for the back of the hood near the cowl for a 73 Pinto? I looked at JC Whitney but couldn't find it. Also, if there...
Does anybody have a decent looking ebrake cover? I seem to remember there being a little plastic doghouse over the back of the ebrake lever. Shane 306 N2O...
Hey Group, is there any company out there still that offers a header for the '70-74 2.0? My old one from JC Whitney is getting pin-holed with age and I'd hate...

I bought this on whim: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&rd=1&item=7246070982&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT Now what's the best way to get this from...
Who knows? I even asked the guy and he just grinned it off. Just got back from checking it out. We got the car started! The front clip is really decent with ...
Neat car. I looked at that car on ebay a couple of days ago. I note the seller says "it runs". Ask him how well it "runs" -ie - how roadworthy it actually is -...
If the engine smokes a bit from sitting, try adding about a pint of Marvel Mystery oil - (Marvel Mystery oil is a red colored, aromatic penetrating type oil...
Oops....I forgot that you mentioned that the tranny is bad, but the car comes with a spare one. Change the tranny first and get the car running before you try...
Thanks alot Mart! What do you think you would offer for a car in this condition? The owner knopws it needs alot of work, but he just keeps saying give me an...
Mart, it will move in first and second but no third and reverse. Might be OK? We had to push it backwards, moves fine forward till 3rd. I have not driven a...
Hello all- Kit from Houston here. It's getting to the time where I finally swap engines and drop my 2.3 turbo coupe block into my '76 sedan. This means I...
What would I offer for the car?? Seriously, not much. Obviously the way the guy has treated the car - ie- the deer on the roof and other indignities, he...
Hi Kit, The '76 Pinto alternator bracket should bolt right on to the '88 TC block. The bosses and the holes should be there even on the newer engine. In fact,...
Thanks alot Mart. I will keep that all in mind. We have not actually started dealing at all yet, he had to leave on a business trip, but I know it is not going...
This is a duplicate post from another list I'm on, but I figured I'd post it here too since it involves Pinto hoods too. Obviously you guys can disregard...
I'd take NO such chances! I'd reserve a U-Haul dolly at the car's nearest location, drive there and tow it home. If you want it that bad, it's worth the...
Offer him $300 bucks and flash the cash. He might want $750 but meet him in the middle. I bought my 73' for $550 about a gazillion years ago and it was a ...
... That's what I'll probably do although I'm a little annoyed that the trip will cost as much as the car.... ... If I was still in my 20s, I'd take that sort...
LK, Yes it does have fluid in it. Here are pics of the car. It runs but, I am thinking of passing on it. These pics are from when I first talked to the guy ...
Doug, your doing better than me on my last project pick-up then. Paid 4 times the amount and the car was not as advertised, almost got killed loading the piece...
i bought a reman. power rack & pinion for my pinto today, and realized i could not get the one that has a 1 1/4" input shaft, like the one i have for a core...
Does anybody know what the biggest size tire I can fit under the rear of my 73' is? In the past, I've run G60 14's but I'm going to switch to 15" rims so I ...
I'm not sure what the absolute biggest tire will fit but I've had 245/45-16's rear and 225/45-16's front on 16 X 7.5 wheels for a trial fit and they worked....
