> could do short of replacing the carb, he finally did replace the 750 with a
> Holley 650  which I recommended as a  suggestion stating  that the 750 was

> and he is running in the 2009 Gumball Rally. For any of you who are
> unfamiliar with this even ( I had never heard of it) It is a week long even
> that starts in LA and ends in Florida . 3000 miles. It has 120 cars of all
> sorts from Exotics , to classics to muscle cars to a 1960 VW camper with a
> Porsche engine.  There is even a Bugatti and a Rolls Royce. Most of the
> entrants are celebrities of sorts. David hassel Hoff will be driving the
> original "Kit " from night rider. There will be a Saudi prince , a guy who
> won Lemans, some playboy chicks,  At a $44K entrance fee it keeps out the
> riff raff or guarantees to well to do riff raff. Anyway here is the web
> sight. And I would like to suggest we support our newest member and his
> Pantera to represent the Marque as he drives in the midst's of some of the
> worlds most exotic and expensive cars in existence. It will be broadcast in
> part on MTV ( who else?) Here is the web link.
