[DeTomaso] distributor

[Charles Engles]

Dear Brad,


            Let me see if I understand this:  you have bilateral leg
weakness from a neurological problem; you are a Pantera owner for two years
and you have had multiple problems with the distributor shaft pin?  If that
is right, then I would ask if the past repairs have looked past replacing
the pin?   Did the mechanic look at the oil pump?   From what little I know
about Clevelands, either your mechanic has been overlooking a possible
persistent fundamental problem in the oil pump or he has been replacing the
distributor shaft pin with something not up to the job.

            More than one bona fide Ford mechanic has implicated the oil
pump as the actual generator of most of the distributor shaft pin failure
problems.  I am just an amateur.



                        Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

hello my fellow Panter-eans i am needing help to solve a problem with my
distributor. here is my problem the split pin that secures the drive gear to
the distributor shaft keeps shearing for some reason. I welcome ideas and
suggestion even the correct answer  to fix it, this distributor problem
needs to go away,  being stranded at an intersection and partially paralyzed
from waist down is no fun no matter how cool a car you drive. I have owned
my 71 pantera just over two years and i have dreamed of it for ever it
seems. thank you for your help     sincerely brad
