Ford Pinto Adapter 3/4in - 16 Thread

The Longacre Ford Pinto Adapter 3/4in - 16 Thread (Part No. 52-78414) is a precision caster and camber gauge adapter engineered for suspension geometry measurement and alignment work on classic Ford Mustang II and Pinto platforms. This aluminum adapter bridges the connection between 5/16-18 inch gauge bolts and 3/4-16 inch threaded suspension components, enabling accurate wheel alignment data collection critical to suspension tuning and chassis setup.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black powder coat, this adapter provides corrosion resistance and durability under shop and field conditions. The 3/4-16 thread specification matches the factory suspension geometry of Pinto and Mustang II models, while the 5/16-18 gauge bolt interface maintains compatibility with standard caster/camber measurement equipment. Dimensions of 4.15 x 1.35 x 5.55 inches and a weight of 0.34 lbs ensure minimal setup time and portability across multiple vehicles. The precision machining required for accurate thread engagement directly impacts the reliability of alignment readings, making fitment and thread integrity essential to suspension geometry accuracy.

Technicians, suspension specialists, and vintage car enthusiasts working on classic Ford restoration and performance projects rely on adapter components like this to execute proper wheel alignment without fabrication or workarounds. Whether performing baseline alignment on a stock restoration or dialing in suspension geometry on a modified chassis, this adapter eliminates guesswork and ensures repeatable caster and camber measurements. The black powder coat finish maintains equipment longevity through multiple shop cycles.

Longacre has established credibility in precision measurement tools and suspension alignment accessories for classic and modern vehicles. This adapter is sold as a single unit and integrates into existing caster/camber gauge systems without modification.
