[DeTomaso] Starter

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Two Thumbs Up!
- I replaced the studs in the ZF with locally sourced proper length at NAPA.
- Wire the new starter -exactly- as they outline in their instructions.
   (We've had our electronic experts review it and it's the -proper-  
way to wire it.  Make sure you ask for the wiring kit that fits a  
Pantera.)
