I picked up a 1-owner Pony this past weekend and did lots of general maintenance on her. Alabama is not a smog State, so the smog pump is gone. Got her finished Sunday and seems the alternator is also shot... would not keep my brand new battery charged
The factory 2-barrel is shot... the little linkage on the butterfly valve is non functional and it is jus generally shot from sitting for years w/o running.
I want to replace the intake and carb, but nothing high-performance since I am gonna drop in a turbo or V8 at some point soon.
I jus want a setup that does not use 30 yards of vacuum tubes like the '79 does. I guess I need a pre-smog era intake carb but this is my first Pinto... so I am not up to snuff on what to look for. Any help is greatly accepted. Need to get her up and running
Thanks!
Nate
