[DeTomaso] The Air Cleaner Asa Jay is looking for...

[asajay at asajay.com]

Charlie,

Ken Green found a current ebay ad for a Pantera with this air cleaner:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/deTomaso-Pantera_W0QQitemZ270409931413

It's not the best views, but you should be able to see what I'm  
talking about.  In this case, they owner has the engine screen cut a  
far distance from the air cleaner.  As I remember the catalog photo,  
the screens came within an inch or two.

I'd like to find one of these.  Anybody have one?  Else I may have to  
fabricate one on my own.  :)

Or.... Get Chris to do.   Yea..... that might do it.

Asa Jay
