Yup, ran like a top as long as you cleaned out the EGR channel once a year at least....wish I'd never gotten rid of mine.
I had this guy offer me stupid $$$ for this car last year.......way more than twice what I had in it. I asked him. "What would I replace it with?"
As long as I can buy gas, I'll keep it.
I wish I had my 76 Pinto! With the JC Whitney parts I bought for it, that little shit got 40 to 42 mpg at the speed limit of 55. 60mph would drop it 1mpg. It was 'peppyier' than stock, that's not saying much! Clifford intake, Webbers and a split dual exhaust, I can't remember who made that. I thinl it was a Whitney contracted part. Sure sounded like no other Pinto!

It did throw it around quite a bit. I smoked the clutch in it beating on it. My Uncle let me use his lift at his
SERVICE station after hours with him supervising. My first major repair! I got an upgraded clutch from McCloud I believe. This was a
service station. He showed me how to resurface a flywheel. He was always VERY good with kids. Adults......not so much!



That's why I loved the fugger so much! But it's also why I didn't just beat his ass down at times!



It would have been a fun fight until he was about 50. You did not want him to get hold of you with those fucking hands of his!!!! His hands were super retard strong! Fuggin' sausage fingered fugger!


We goofed around when I was a teenager. Wasn't fun with Pop, since I knew his left arm was his weakness. Unc got me in ahold with those hands that really scared the hell outta me, even though I knew he wasn't gonna hurt me, I had a huge Adrenalin rush and I head butted him and knocked him out cold. I was the first person to knock hum out!








The damn grip those hands had on me was just that damn strong. At my prime, I had stupid strong hands. I carried around those hand exerciser spring things. When I had idle time, I used them. I started that in like the 6th grade. I never stopped while in the military. I don't think my hands were as strong as his at my prime. His hand tight nuts and bolts needed wrenches!
Yeah.............I'm more lit. Templeball is sooooooo seductive with the smells and taste!


And the high is





I'm off like a dirty shirt!
