[DeTomaso] Dipstick photos and measurements // that's my final answer

[Garth Rodericks]

I had my Weiand Xcelerator manifold milled level.  I want to use the stock engine screen, so spacers were out of the question.

Pictures of milled intake 1/2 way down this page: http://www.banzairunnerpantera.com/adventures.htm

Cheers!

>> "So the engine in a Pantera sits flat" (no tilt). Square with the world. 

>> So is the carb now tilted and what effect would that have, just asking, here we go. >>

The 2 the come to mind immediately are:

1. Cannot set proper float levels
2. Engine dies under hard braking - excess fuel flows out the vent tube and down the carb throat choking the engine.
