[DeTomaso] Carb question

[Charles Engles]

Dear Brent,


                 If you want the best possible carb for that engine, then I 
would suggest you click on    www.chucknuytten.com       Send him all the 
specifics about the engine, transaxle and Pantera that he asks for and see 
what he recommends.  Then I would suggest that you simply buy the modified 
and improved carb that says fits your engine.  I have had him rebuild two 
carbs for my engines and the information that he requests is more than 
anyone else that I've dealt with.   The dyno testing of the engines has 
shown that based on the information I supplied and his experience, the carbs 
were supplied with nearly optimal jetting that was within one jet size of 
the final configuration.   Charlie McCall also recommends him.   I don't 
think that you'll be disappointed.   FWIW.


                         Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
