Either it didn't have that or it was none compliant, but results didn't suggest that the car it came out of was a rocket ship!
Would still like a decent Pinto one day.

Back in the day our original idea in Thindersports was to stick a pair of Webers on and look for c 180bhp in our Aquila, with intention of modifying more for year 2 and aiming for 200+. Didn't happen of course. Ran out of money.
But yes I always assumed it was about 130bhp for a "standard" one.
