Your Pintos/Bobcats & Racers / Re: 1977 pinto x 2
« Last post by rob289c on June 14, 2024, 08:35:43 PM »Do you mean the Pine Sol that people use to clean the kitchen floor? I've never known anyone to use that for carb cleaner. Have you used it in the past? Hopefully it does a good job.

Your Project / Re: Pinto Powered Mustang Roadster
« Last post by rob289c on June 14, 2024, 08:32:31 PM »Tomorrow is Saturday and I need to make the best use of the morning and early afternoon. I have to go to a neighbor's kid's birthday party (begrudgingly) and then I will be participating in a Father's Day Car Show on Sunday in my home town which means no Sunday progress. I mowed the lawn yesterday so I don't have to do it tomorrow and maybe I can get some more time on my project. I will report tomorrow evening on what I am able to get done.

General Pinto Talk / LED lights
« Last post by warhead2 on June 09, 2024, 11:04:56 PM »This is from the FB group from Chris Hobbs. Just sharing so its in the forum for future reference.
Bulb swap info. Here is what I did. 1980 Pinto Base. 2.3. Manual.
Reverse Lights: White LED 1156. No Resistor Needed. Pick up at local parts store or Amazon.
Brake/Running Light/Turn: Red LED 1157 WITH RESISTOR BUILT IN the bulb to avoid wiring in a resistor and eliminate hyper flash. Yes More expensive but in my opinion worth it. I chose LASFIT LED LIGHTING T3-1157R.
Front Running Light/Turn: Amber LED 1157 WITH RESISTOR BUILT IN to avoid hyper flash and having to wire in a resistor. Yes More expensive but worth it. LASFIT LED LIGHTING T3-1157A.
Bought LASFIT on Amazon.
I noticed on the instrument panel the light flashes actually at a fraction slower LED versus incandescent. No Hyper Flash.
Emergency Flashers work.
No need to change the Flasher Relay.
Sidemarkers : LED 194. No resistor needed. Pick up at local parts store or Amazon.
Incandescent bulbs are old, dingy, dull light.
LED brightens things up.
I intend to change instrument display to LED and they are bulb 194. 168 can be swapped with 194.
My patio has become my garage to go thru this car and bring it back to road-worthy. Ignore the mess.
Hope this helps someone as you all have been much help to me. Thank you.
