For those of us who can't read or type straight pictures are a must have.

[Guest Ian & Carole]

The easiest way is to get a Photo bucket account and load pics to that then copy and paste them onto here.

Hooray after shrinking the picture down to 100k it on the forum and now time for me to log off. I work on computers all day, so using them of a night time is depressing (I rather be in the garage working on the car)

Your suspension set up looks very much like mine which came from RS Jigtec (RIP!)

They got the manufacturing rights from Sids Tune Shop in Tamworth, which I believe is still operating,

but doesnt do the wishbone conversion any more.

The design is a very good one, with correct length wishbones.

be careful with your carb choice the 38dgas is not the best choice on the pinto, keep it standard or go for dcoe webers or bike carbs

[Guest mower man]

We.ve been here before the 38 dgas is not for out and out perf but setup correctly is agood carb [ my 2.1 makes 144 horses with one ] reasonable mpg etc my ops only others will differ mower man

[Mitch]

I agree with mower man. Set up well there good. 32-36 dgav also good ... Bike carbs n mega jolt when you want more noise .

most common is a Weber 32/36 identified by square choke tops

The 38DGAS is similar but both chokes work simultaneously

less common (& less desirable) are various other webers,

 

worst of all is Fords VV or a Pierburg.

Cheers Guys, appreciate all the advice and being a complete novice with mechanics I will probably put aside some money for the bike carbs and megajolt...... I have a friend with a Westfield with bike engine (it sounds awesome and goes like a firecracker approx 450bhp)on a 500kg car. Mainly used for track-days and sprints. So completely un-practical for what we want.

 

I have seen some all-in one bike carb sets on ebay, but began starring into space and listening to the cuddly monkey smashing the cymbals when they starting explaining sizes etc...37mm/38mm/40mm.

 

What will I be looking to get and what other extra costs do you think I will incur when purchasing and fitting something like this:

Open to suggestions for best bang for the buck scenario on a very basic 2.0ltr pinto engine that I have no history of and looks like it needs a lot of attention.

[Bob Tucker]

Hi Dino.

Those carbs have 40mm chokes....way too big for a standard Pinto.

Anything about 36mm will be fine.

Like these''

DANST (the ebay seller) is a RHOCAR member....PM him direct for a "club" price on a manifold.

Budget for a RR session to set up any carb, but especially important for 4 bike carbs..anything from £100 - £250.

You need to make linkages & adjust the spacing of the carbs (unless Dan makes a manifold to suit them as is??)
