Unfortunately, its 3.5 engine is currently slightly under the weather, Pilgrim themselves recently removed the Holley carburetor that was causing so many driving issues and fitted an Edelbrock 500, a carburetor much better suited to road driving.

The next will be to remove the Mallory distributor and fit the RPI ignition system which puts out a better spark and has transformed so many cars before it. After all, you can have the best fuel system in the world but if you can’t burn the fuel properly you’re still going nowhere.</div></body></html>
