It's been awhile. The 79 Pinto is running with the fox body motor. This has been a task and trying to get it done with a little time. But here it is running.



Also, I cut out the transmission mount I welded in and an now going to redo it. This is basically going to be my daily driver.

this is where you hook switched power. This is a soldered connection covered in tape from the factory.

this is your ground. they are all black with green stripe.

Use the shifter arm out of the C-3 on the A4LD , that way you can use the stock shifter and file the extra detent on the shifter , the rod just shortened 4 1/2 inches, best is you do not have to remove the valve body to do it , keeps it stock looking

Aaron,

That sounds like a plan. Aaron is the lead tech at the shop :) He will also own this in a few years to 5 I hope!
