Does Dorman or somebody like them make replacements? Mine are pretty dry rotted away.

Do a search on E-gay at ford pinto nos. If that doesn't work, soak them in gasoline if their not cracked. It'll make them soft again for a while after you remove them from the gas. Long enough to reinstall them. Also take a look at Scott Drake automotive group.com,as all ford should be the same(

Depending on the the plug size/type itself they can total to a rather expensive replacement. For instance on my Sunbeam Tiger the club has "Trunk Plugs" that are about 6 or 8 plugs. They cost about $60 for the set because they are a slightly odd size and some people want an "exact" replica of the original.. Even at $3-$4 a piece for generic pugs they can add up when you need a large number of them. I've resorted to pulling the size I need out of newer cars at Pick Your Part yards. They seem good as new and are a lot cheaper.

There are plenty of various size plugs, including 7/8" at (ford pinto body plugs on E-gay) right now! E-gay should be the first place you look for hard to find pinto parts. I get a kickback for that statement. Tell them I sent you.
