2.3L Ford Pinto, Turbo engine.

cheers,
Bill.

Now... is it a Pinto or is it a Lima??

TT

Sorry! my mistake. Its the 2.3 lima. Thats the Brit coming out of me I guess.

I think peeps often call it as pinto as it looks quite similar but aparently has very few common components.

TT

MX5 engine gearbox and ecu, fine piece of kit.

I'm planning on using the 1.6 Pinto from my donor, with minimal work (a good clean-up, new points, oil, filter and cam belt will be about it) to get me IVA'd. Then replace it with a road tuned 2l Pinto (a nice winter's project).

Points????

TT

Yes, points. Can you tell what an old fart I am?

Will fit a maga-jolt on the 2l.

Where's the engine comming from, sierras have electronic ignition.

TT

:o

yes, your right TT and just had a look under the bonnet to double check. I was making the assumption on such an old car it would be points. Nice not to have them, they were a bit of a pain to set up.

Note to self: read Haynes manual more thouroughly! :D
