i just got the hood trim for my 79 and how do you install it? it has like a channel on top and bottem like it slides onto something,am i missing some clips or something? if i am i need some and also on my timing belt cover i need the little rubber plug that goes in about a 1/4 inch hole right above the silver doller size one on my 2.3 i checked hardware stores and auto stores and nothing thanx for any help
Fred Morgan has the timing cover plug (new).
Please post a picture of your hood trim so we can see what you have.
fred has the bigger plug,i need the smaller one. i don;t have a way to post a pic but its the chrome trim that goes accross the front of the hood lip.its the one that was on e-bay last week if anybody saw it
I can't say that I've ever seen a chrome trim across the front of a Pinto hood....
brian just sent me some pics of wagons from 76 that has them,does anybody have 1 from that year with it on?
ok i got a part # for my trim, D4FZ 16856 A install hints?
If anyone is interested, i just checked my Ford pinto sales guides. And indeed the 1976 Pintos had a chrome strip across the hood to visually tie the chrome headlight frames together. This is the only year for a chrome strip on the hood. john
thats the piece! it also fits other years.i know it fits my 79 but there must be some clips underneith. anybody
ok, i figured it out after talking to fred,i need , its a metal strip with studs in it that goes accross the lip and the studs go threw the hood and fasten underneith and the piece i got now goes ontop of the strip
