Pangra wastegate
« on: December 09, 2020, 08:47:27 AM »
Hey all! This is the setup on my 74 Pinto Pangra turbo. I haven't seen this style of wastegate in any pictures, is this a different kit or what??

I'm assuming that you are talking about the bulging coupler over the valve cover in the intake piping? I'm not sure what that is???, but a wastegate is usually referred to a device that bleeds exhaust off the turbine wheel. With the draw through carbureted setup if that bled off the compressor side it would vent a flammable mixture of fuel and air. I'm just going to make a guess and say it might be a one-way valve that is intended for anti backfire purposes??? It looks like you have an adjustable cam pulley!

Yes, the piece right above the camshaft. That's a good point, it could be a one way valve. Thank you!!

I am not all that knowledgeable about Pangea, but I was able to pull up a brochure from Troxel's Auto brochure website on the Huntington Ford Pangea that shows the engine...maybe you can tell from the pictures if they are the one and the same...

Happy Motoring,

What I thought might be an anti backfire valve in the intake plumbing could also be a mixing chamber for the water injection. I wish someone more knowledgeable would chime in. The article referenced above shows a similar but rectangular device rather than the tapered/round device in your engine image. Click on article image to enlarge and read.
