Pinto con rod identification
AS I understand it there are 2-3 different types of con rod for the Pinto - cast, forged, injection?
Can anyone identify what type of rod this is for me?

It's one of the later cast steel con rods. IMO.

DEfinately the later cast con rod, limit to 7,200 or light weight piston and pin and go to 7,500 but not on a regular basis and not for mile after
mile. Con rods always one of the Pinto weak points.
Give the rods some new ARP bolts for a bit extra safety.
