Idiot's guide to all the holes/senders on a pinto?
I'm getting into the happy world of wiring at the moment, and I've come to the 2 senders on the carb side of the pinto, what does what,
and what threads are they? (specifically the big one at the bottom right, and the little one at the top left)
Also, there's a pipe that goes from the carb to a doodah on the engine, fairly low down. wassat for?
Cheers

big one is the oil low pressure warning switch that is just an on/off for the dash light, 1/4 NPT if irc. You can put a t-piece here and fit a sender
for an oil pressure gauge too
little one on the cylinder head is the water temperature sender, some kind off straight fine thread, seals on washer

the pipe is your crank case breather. Oil mist gets recycled into the intake manifold and burnt off. It's to stop your car leaving oily mess
on the road.
You could alternatively fit a catch tank, Nick205 is/was fitting one to his pinto.
The other 2 as per Mr Whippy's description

If you are going to use a catch tank remember to remove the valve jobbie at the engine end of the breather pipe. either make up a new elbow or Burton
sell one cheapish...
It has a flap valve inside and doesnt work properly with a catch tank, discovered that after much searching on here trying to work out why my catch
tank kept filling up and overflowing!....
