[DeTomaso] 10 qt oil pans

[asajay at asajay.com]

I bought the Armando pan, I don't remember a new pickup in it, but all  
that says is that I have a -lousy- memory.  The box is in storage  
waiting for my next engine rebuild.  So I'll assume it's in there and  
I just have a bad memory.

Sorry, didn't mean to stir it up this bad.
