[DeTomaso] SHE RUNS!!!!

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Dick and I started and ran the Cleveland stroker in the Pantera for half an hour today.  Balanced TB's on EFI. Good news is the engine started up all most immediately. 

A couple challenges for next weekend :

1.    The Bosch efi fuel pump otherwise previous silent service started making  rattling noise - will replace next weekend - its 2 years old.

2.    Fuel sprays out of frame rail on initial engine start up - replaced O ring seals with new....leak stops....again 2 years old...;-O

3.   Replaced Canton filter element in 1-mic filter and could not original  element  'O-ring' ring back in place...replaced with new

3.      Will send some photo's of new 180 headers to AJ to post

Wondering if others (the ones who still drive their cars!) with high pressure fuel systems  have had similar short life on rubber O rings exposed to fuel?

NOTE TO SELF - REPLACE ALL O RING SEALS EXPOSED TO FUEL UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
