Hey all just thought id share my little victory in the war of the Pinto against the wife....

Anyways i got her running (the car not the wife.... yet)

Heres a quick shot of its first firing. Its been almost 5 years since i tore it down to replace the ailing 4brl 2.0 . It kinda scared me. I wasn't prepared to hear it fire on the first few tries. In the carport and with the dual 2.5 40 series flows, it was almost frightening to me as it rumbled very anxiously. Almost akin to a hungry tiger on a chain with a peice of meat 5 feet in front of it.
Well, LOL ! hope you enjoy!

71Ford V8 Pinto. My 5 year project. FINALLY STARTED!! Yes it needs tuning. I havent even timed it yet Just the first few minutes of running. Also the dam thing is so loud in the Carport that the sound is very distorted. It has a"full exhaust" with 2.
