[DeTomaso] Pandora question

Asa ,

You're right!  I just looked at your photo and didn't read carefully enough!

After all, a picture is worth a thousand words and your email didn't break
100 words.

Doug, Doug, Doug, Doug.... .catch up dude.  :)

Chris's pointer is exactly the same as on my PANTERA.  The photo of the
pointer you are referring to is from the MACH I when I did the rebuild
in 2001.  I don't have a current photo of the pointer on my Pantera, but
I can tell you from when I changed the timing gear set, that I became
familiar with the same style Chris has on his, because I'd never seen it
before and had to ask questions of this list.  That was about 10 years
ago....

Anyway I digress.  My -earlier- email -did- specify that photo of a
pointer was from my Mach I, not my Pantera.
:)

Don't make me take the bulkhead cover off again.
