Good grief.
Somebody ruined a perfectly good Mark IV trunk-hump and Mark V grille.
A '76 Olds 98 at least has a decent 455 in it.
That Pinto is a major hoopty-heap. What a ridiculous POS.
Guaranteed it's not a V8 Pinto...those all had automatic transmissions, unless a custom conversion.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
