I'm working overtime like crazy but I have mid-November thru early December off. Maybe then?

Hmm, one fast Pinto. I wonder since the picture concerns the Pinto, which is for sale, in Lompoc.

That was during our end of summer cruise, another friend posted the Craigslist listing for the Pinto.
He was cited for not having the required flammable liquids placard on the rear.

Good thing you didn't rear-end him!

I wonder how many younger members got that.
Pinto go Boom... lol
I have found when I mention the model, that lots of them heard "something about explosions"... they tend to view the cars as unexploded ordinance instead of a short car with a common exhaust/fuel tank configuration for its day.lol
I wonder how many younger members got that.
I bet you could get folks to run if you beat the rear bumper with a hammer...

My brother had a 71 3 door Pinto in dark green. When he finished with the 2.0L engine 4 speed it had 11.0:1 compression plus other goodies. Have to say that damn thing was fast. However, when doing 100 in that car you knew it as the engine had the will but the body didn't. World of difference to my Cougar at 100 and even more so compared to the Park Lane. Passing semi's hauling tomatoes to the Central Valley processing plants on two lane highway 12 with the delta on one side was a church going experience.

Can you share manufacturer and part numbers?

AP 6532 perforated tube
2.5 offset inlet
2.25 center outlet
19" case
I needed to fit what was there, factory would have had a 2.25 inlet and were 21 long.
I ordered the original mufflers without researching them too much first.

These?
AP Exhaust MSL Maximum Mufflers 6532
I'm interested, because all this stuff is in my future. I want good flow without being too hot-roddy myself.

The other day I took the car for a drive with idea of taking this picture, I have seen the spot and liked the interchange in the background. This was 30 miles from home but I couldn't just turn around and go home, nope, I went another 60 miles on one of my favorite loops. CHP did stop while I was taking pictures, he was more interested in making sure I had everything covered up when I was driving.

That's a cool picture, Alan.
Hard to imagine that would be such an issue with your car, but I suppose they deal with too many wannabes in used cars or appropriately colored newer stuff.

I've always been puzzled by that. Who's impersonating a police officer in a 30 plus year old police car?
My dad's 71 was said to be a plain brown wrapper heading west bound on the CB in 1983. At 17 I questioned the intelligence of the Guy saying so since the car was 12 years old.
