[DeTomaso] Fuel Pump

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

You might want to talk to Mike Trusty or Dick Drenske. My understanding after talking to both of them was they were NOT big fans of in tank pumps.

I suspect that most the in-tank pumps are high pressure for EFI.  You might be able to use a high pressure pump with a pressure regulator, but that seems like a cludge?

No, but I wrote a POCA Newsletter article a year or so back, describing 
which factory pump to use for a carbureted Pantera, and how it could be so 
installed. It still works fine in our '72, by the way. I imagine that any 
Pantera parts vendor could do this custom job for you. Any Pantera doing this mod 
WILL need the rear quarter window glass out for easy installation- unless 
the engine, ZF and tank are sitting on stands in your garage.
Two caveats: factory pumps are the only ones small enough to fit thru an 
unmolested tank opening, and wiring the pump absolutely requires a separate 
12v power line from the fuse box, NOT off the coil or other existing wiring 
close by. Call around- J DeRyke
