Given the Pinto's "heated history" I think this is "Firing Back!"

Yup. I zoomed in on the picture I saved. Not 100 % sure which engine. Valve covers look strangely short / flat.
4bl looks to be sitting on an OEM intake.

Post by: dick1172762 on November 28, 2017, 04:20:33 PM: I think this wagon is one of those cars that require you to go fast, then turn off the key, then turn on a spark box to make the tail pipe or in this case the jet engine shoot flames out the back. Use to see it back in the 50's all the time.
