[DeTomaso] Speedo question

[Curt Hall]

You didn't say if the speedo worked correctly before the reassembly of the car?

Wrong speedo drive.   There are several of them, with different 
characteristics.   He probably has an early-type VDO, which calls for 1610 revs
per mile.   
The later one is for 1210 revs per mile.   The difference isn't with the 
gauges, but rather the drive gear inside the gearbox.

Here's a direct link to two of the offerings:

d=06032a

and here's the third one:

Call your favorite Pantera vendor, tell him the number stamped on the ID 
plate on your gearbox, and he should be able to hook you right up, and would 
probably the old one as a partial or even full trade.
