What to do?
OK, I have the following choices to make, and the resources to make just one of them at present.
1.) Edge tuner or similar.
2.) Cat-back dual Magnaflow system or similar.
3.) 1972 Q code Ranchero. Original, complete. Runs but needs TLC.
WWYD?

Q code is the CJ option which is why I'm interested. But like NASSTY said, it's not a one time investment, and would take away free money from mods on the FX4. So...

If you don't get the Q code Ranchero, how about send it my way??? I like the 72 model year. I have had several Torino's that were 72 but not a Ranchero. The Q code makes it VERY interesting. Is it factory and a 4 speed?

Automatic. No matter; it's the Q part I like. 72 was never my fav year for the torino/ranchero but it is the last year for the pre-smog CJ beast. I know there's a ranchero board here so I'm not getting into all that. But the chero is a tempting choice. Wish i could do all three on my list but last time I went to the bathroom, that wasn't money I flushed.
