Re: [DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 144, Issue 27
Dear Owen, IMHO, do not cut the hood. Try some simple things first. Consider a new thermostat, but take precautions that you buy a correct Cleveland rather than the more common Windsor. It is possible the old radiator may be to blame. If there are good radiator shops nearby, then you could pull the radiator and have them tank it and clean it up and pressure test it. That may be all it needs. If the overheating persists, then new fans might be helpful. The other option would be to buy a new radiator and fans from one of the vendors.

Guys i need advice please
I have a nice original 1972 pre L pantera
i have some cooling problems in traffic even though i am in Ireland and its never very hot here
rad and fans are original. with no vents in front hood i notice that the hood got extremely hot and i got some boiling over the fans were working but they are the originals and not very powerful
i am considering putting vents in the hood and fitting a new rad and fans kit assembly (PPC Fluidyne rad ) from pantera parts this the one with puller fans but i want to keep it upright
does this plan make sense i dont need a massive improvement in cooling - i only had this slight boiling over in the swirl tank once also i fitted a new temp sender on the engine front and it read about 160 degrees until now its reading 230 degress all the time with only veery small vasriation in reading even when engine is cold any quick ideas on why it would suddenly go wrong ? i would appreciate advice

Yes you do, Chris . . . Well, in one sense at least. Some have said that when you and Pandora came together, that you "really bought the farm this time . . .". So, by that reasoning, selling the farm and selling Pandora could mean one ant the same. I know that is not in your plans . . .

So I finally got the organic certification for the farm, it has been 2 years. In the next few weeks I'll be picking & selling a few acres worth of avocados to a local distributor.
Now for the Pantera content. Once I get paid for the avocados, I'll be able to afford to ship my cars (push button Pantera & convertible Corvette) from Seattle to SoCal, some time mid-summer. Two years of being separated from my Pantera, I can't wait to tear up some roads. _______________________________________________

Owen, Chuck is right! Do NOT cut the hood. A Pantera with a proper cooling system will run at 180 degrees while underway and no more than 200 when standing still, all day long, with no holes in the hood. You clearly have a problem--you need to find and fix it... A good radiator, good fans, proper thermostat and NO air in the system is critical. I wouldn't assume you have a proper Cleveland thermostat, and your problem might me as simple as having a Windsor unit installed by mistake. Do you know Tony Condren in Dublin? He would be a good source for help? Mike Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2016, at 16:29, cengles@cox.net wrote:
