    People forget that when the Pinto was introduced America’s roads were covered by land yachts made before fuel economy was an issue. Huge LTDs, Lincolns, Buicks, Cadillacs and trucks were impacting the little Pintos. It was a recipe for some horrific accidents. My first car was a 78 Pinto and I’d love to find one to piddle with. Puddin’s last video was in a salvage yard that had a very clean old Pinto in it but the yard’s owner said that he isn’t interested in selling anything to the general public.

      I left a comment that he needs to buy that Pinto as it has the same engine as the Yee-Haul. I hope he gets it.

      @@spankyham9607 agreed, if I got something I have no intention of doing anything with, I sell it or give it to someone who can use it. It’s crazy to let something ruin for nothing but I got kin folks that do the exact same thing. It’s literally rusting out sitting in the weeds but won’t even consider parting with it. Rather see it completely wasted than someone else have it.

    I had a 2-liter 71 pinto. I never removed the crankshaft pulley when replacing the timing belt. Just maneuver the belt around the pulley. In 78, I even replaced the belt on the side of the road. It broke when I was about 60 miles from home. I got the belt off, cussed at it, then crossed the highway, and hitched to the closest Ford dealer, about 10 miles away. Got a belt, and hitched back. Total of about 2 hours work.

    • @RevStoration

It took awhile but I'm getting better and almost ready for Chemo Therapy in acouple weeks.

    Yeah back then they did have timing belt and I believe the recommendation for changing them was between 50 to 60,000 miles but I don't believe that's an interference engine so if it does a break it's not going to do no damage and y'all all have a Merry Christmas too

    That strap falling on you reminded me of the time I was underneath the rear end of a 1970 F100 out in a wrecking yard. I was trying to remove the spare tire rack when it gave way and fell right on my forehead. I used up every paper towel in the wrecking yard office restroom cleaning up the blood. I put on a string of butterfly stitches and went back to get my spare tire and strap assembly. The guy felt so bad for me that he gave me the parts for free.

So now I work on only my stuff and at my leisure now! No more got to have it now jobs! Anyway I've always had a soft spot for the pinto/bobcat. I had a 78 mercury bobcat back in high school that I tubed out and built a 302 boss engine out of a 70 mustang boss that was rusted to the ground back in the 80s. That was the meanest bobcat or pinto around back then lol! Wish I still had it!

    They ALL served me well and were always fun to drive. With the hatch open you could carry a short stack of 4'× 8' plywood in those little wagons. Don't even try that in your Escape.
    The '72 2.0 is a motor from Ford of Germany hence the metric bolts.
    The 2.3 in the later models was all SAE...

    Just ran across your channel and I subscribed, I watched your video on the pinto tank install and timing belt with the metric bolts. My dad hauled for Ford back then and one of their complaints Was that they found out that the pintos and the Rangers back then had mitsubishi engines. And Ford was misleading the public claiming that they were Ford engines, it took a lawsuit from a mechanics union to bring it to out.
    My wife and I find your videos interesting and I am Ford to the bone. Ford raised me, my dad was Ford in more ways than driving them, he worked for Ford and our last name is Ford and we lived on mercury drive in galaxy estates subdivision LOL😆 🤣 true story .

    I can attest to the fact that you will not always explode. I was hit squarely in the rear of one of my pintos by a 1988 caprice. The impact was bad enough to for the left leaf spring to be folded just past the end of the second leaf. Not only did it not explode, but I continued driving it for several months. The car was a Michigan car most of it's life. A red cloud hung in the air for a few seconds on the impact. The reason I finally stopped driving the car was that the left leaf spring was coming up through the floor at the front mount.

    I had an 87 ranger with a 2.0 liter, when I changed the timing belt, I'd put the old one behind the seat. The belt broke one night going to work one night in Baton Rouge La. The engine has valve clearance so no harm to the engine. I put the old belt on and was only about 45 minutes late for work. I've had experience with the over head valves before with my Mercury Bobcat with a 2.3 liter. Boss didn't believe my story till i showed him the broken belt.
