[DeTomaso] Disconnecting the Battery - + or - first?

Sorry to disagree, Michael.  If disconnecting the battery, the  
negative terminal should be disconnected first, and positive second.   
Vice-versa for installation.  That way, if one inadvertently touches  
the wrench to the body, a short to ground with associated sparking  
does not occur.

Cheers,
David
