[DeTomaso] ZF Inspection vs vent

[michael frazier]

Clear with glitter here.
 
Back to the vent idea?  I suppose Panteras and Mangustas must make more heat in the bellhousing than
just about every other car out there.  Is it the intake/exhause vent.  Then where is the other intake/exhaust
vent.   I guess that's a long way of saying I think the inspection port angle makes more sense...but then do
Panteras and Mangustas need more inspecting than just about every other car out there....?
Never mind.
