(even though it's still very cool). The reasons i think it is compressed air are as you mentioned no spark, with the cams turning at 2:1 (which is all you would need for compressed air , as every stroke is a power stroke from the compressed air and an exhaust stroke), no oil in the crank area, no coolant, no spark or glow plug, no fuel air mixture and no exhaust ( clear air) so it is a model of a 12 cylinder that uses power of compressed air to operate , not generates power, So in fact it's not an engine. But still a very nice model. It would help if I understood Italian.

If you need more than that, also installing offset LOWER a-arm bushings (offset the other way) adds another couple of negative degrees. Having a machine shop mill about 0.080"-or-so off one side of the upper ball joint carrier can add yet another degree (you'll then need a new 0.080" thick shim). Once the bushings are in place, you can fine-tune the caster setting by moving upper ball-joint shims around. But remember- as caster goes up (negative), steering effort also goes up. Corvettes and other high-speed sports cars run a maximum of -7 degrees caster, but they also use power steering to lessen the resulting steering wheel load. Judy and I find that - 4.5 degrees is an excellent compromise in our '72L with 245-50 front tires over the maximum stock setting of about -2.6 degrees. And after everything is done, the front wheels will definitely need to be re-aligned. While this is going on, check front brake hose routing so no tire rubbing occurs, and that large tires do not contact the right side wiper shield at full-lock. I've had offset upper bushings in place so long on our car, I can't remember how it steered before. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Green To: cengles Cc: detomaso Sent: Wed, Apr 2, 2014 12:30 pm Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Any experience with Marino's offset control arm bushings to increase caster?

Message-ID: <11e8c1d.a4e43.1452430bc41.Webtop.0@cox.net> Dear Ken and Dave, About twenty years ago, Dennis Quella told me about the offset bushings. At that time in the Pre-Cambrian Era there were no "factory" off set bushings and you had to make your own. The first set I did went on Pantera No. One and I got about 3 degrees positive caster. I wasn't happy with that and pulled then off and had a custom upper A arm fabricated for more caster. I liked the caster benefits so much that I decided I would convert the old tired rubber bushings on Pantera No. Two to the poly bushings and I would apply the hacksaw to the the poly with more vigor. One cuts off as much of the thick end as you dare and then make up the difference on the other end with appropriately sized fender washers. Apparently, I hit it on the nose and the alignment shop documented an impressive positive five degrees caster. Despite the rather aggressive modification of the bushing into a really serious offset bushing, it has held up over twenty years and thousands of miles. One caveat: with positive caster of 4 to 5 degrees positive and wide tires and stock Pantera fenders, it *is* possible to have the tire kiss the outer front fender lip.....with unpleasant results. If you go for the big caster and big tires, then be sure you roll the fender lip and an early visit to a body man for some very discrete and gentle fender edge "adjustment" is advised.

Same here in Reno, I moved back in late 2005 and the house I purchased was on the market 4 hours, that's how hot the market was. Then prices dropped 50% during the low, now coming back and up 20%, but even if they come up 50% that's still only 75% of the original price!

I was just reading on a real estate blog about how home prices are rising again - DRAMATICALLY - some cities up 20%/year. Homes in south Florida are being boug ht by South Americans as a money haven. I know that it is pretty hot here in th e Houston area. BTW, if any of you have read "RICH DAD/POOR DAD" he posits the home as a liability, not an asset. Interesting to see his viewpoint. From an i nvestment point of view, he is basically correct. (Oh, unless it is going up 20% a year!

It technically has the desired result of getting you to point b or filling your belly, but no one interesting actually enjoys it. The steering/braking/sounds/etc is mushy and bland, it has no pep. Without adding something to it, and you had to bask in the sea of mediocrity daily, you'd get complacent and eventually fade away as the most boring person in existence. Driving *this* prius is like firing up a big block powered blender for a manly breakfast, *after* you filled it with a live cow (protein, fiber, vitamins and *stuff*, from the meat, bones, milk and whats left... respectfully), a whole carton of eggs still in the carton (because every movie badass in training does this to a smaller scale and you don't want to be outdone) a slab of bacon and ghost peppers for flavor, plus a bag of quikrete so it sticks to your gut and because you're too important to wait several days for ordinary concrete to cure. And while you wait for that to finish blending, why dont you go kick your feet up in the vibrating lazyboy recliner that also happens to be powered by your gas guzzling bigblockblender.

They bought a dozen varieties and followed the instructions. The results were classified based on categories such as "durability after 30 trips through the car wash", "ease of application/removal", "gloss to the untrained eye", "amount of powder produced" and I forget what else. The winner was some exotic was that cost $80 a bottle, while the second place wax, which was a mere 1 point behind, was a Meguir's product that I have faithfully used for the past 20 years as a result of that study. It is easy to apply, it is easy to remove. It doesn't leave powder everywhere. It leaves a nice shine and leaves the paint extremely slippery. I don't have to apply it very often, as water beads up heavily for quite some time after application. I have happily used the product for years, confident that it is the best bang for the buck, based on an impartial and scientific study. For me, this adds more value that anecdotal evidence such as someone saying "I use wax X and it works well". Unless you compare X to Y under the same conditions, how can you not know if Y works even better? Anyway, over here in Spain I've run out of my favorite Meguirs. So I used a 100% Carnuba that I got for Christmas on the daily driver BMW, and am horrified. It's the same brand that Johnny Woods uses on his Pantera (and actually sells) so if you've ever seen his car then you know that it makes things shiny. But it is a huuuuuge pain to remove. It requires a tremendous amount of force and scrubbing millimeter by millimeter to get the stuff off. I have wax powder everywhere - all the seams, it seems like the whole car is covered in a fine powder. I'd guess it took at least 3-4 times longer than the Meguir's due to the difficulty of removal - you really need to scrub hard to get the stuff off. All that time trying to get the damn stuff off made it clear to me that I need to buy more wax. But if I want to buy the best possible miracle wax, is anyone aware of a study where they compare the various brands back-to-back to determine which one is really the "best"? The study I saw recommended some products if your goal was Pebble Beach as the product worked well but lasted 24 hours, other products if you planned to wax the car once in its lifetime, and another for "regular" waxing every few months. By rating the various characteristics - durability, ease of application, price, ease of removal, gloss, whatever, you could pick the best product for your use.

On an even more serious note, I've stopped using wax. At LMC 2012 my freshly waxed Pantera made the raindrops bead and when the sun got on it, it ruined all horizontal surfaces, had to repaint it that winter. I realize that I had an inferior paint job, my painter called it "f...... American thermoplastic paint", but still, it makes you think. In the right conditions, rain, then hard sun, the beads that we like the look of, they act as magnifying glasses, testing your paint's properties to the max. And my Pantera is so rarely out in the sun, it doesn't need wax to keep it shining. For me, no more wax.

Just before removing the wax, use it like a big powder puff on the dried wax. It will make the removal effortless. It will be like removing Glass Wax. I used to wax a fiberglass boat with Jonson's Floor Wax, paste back in the 70s. You can imagine how tough floor wax is to buff. Corn Starch dusting made it a snap. IndyDave -----Original Message----- From: Charles McCall [mailto:charlesmccall at gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2014 2:04 PM To: detomaso at poca.com Subject: [DeTomaso] Wanted - scientific car wax results Hi all What now seems like a billion years ago, but was probably 20-25 years ago, Consumer Reports did a full and impartial test of car waxes. They bought a dozen varieties and followed the instructions. The results were classified based on categories such as "durability after 30 trips through the car wash", "ease of application/removal", "gloss to the untrained eye", "amount of powder produced" and I forget what else. The winner was some exotic was that cost $80 a bottle, while the second place wax, which was a mere 1 point behind, was a Meguir's product that I have faithfully used for the past 20 years as a result of that study. It is easy to apply, it is easy to remove. It doesn't leave powder everywhere. It leaves a nice shine and leaves the paint extremely slippery. I don't have to apply it very often, as water beads up heavily for quite some time after application. I have happily used the product for years, confident that it is the best bang for the buck, based on an impartial and scientific study. For me, this adds more value that anecdotal evidence such as someone saying "I use wax X and it works well". Unless you compare X to Y under the same conditions, how can you not know if Y works even better? Anyway, over here in Spain I've run out of my favorite Meguirs. So I used a 100% Carnuba that I got for Christmas on the daily driver BMW, and am horrified. It's the same brand that Johnny Woods uses on his Pantera (and actually sells) so if you've ever seen his car then you know that it makes things shiny. But it is a huuuuuge pain to remove. It requires a tremendous amount of force and scrubbing millimeter by millimeter to get the stuff off. I have wax powder everywhere - all the seams, it seems like the whole car is covered in a fine powder. I'd guess it took at least 3-4 times longer than the Meguir's due to the difficulty of removal - you really need to scrub hard to get the stuff off. All that time trying to get the damn stuff off made it clear to me that I need to buy more wax. But if I want to buy the best possible miracle wax, is anyone aware of a study where they compare the various brands back-to-back to determine which one is really the "best"? The study I saw recommended some products if your goal was Pebble Beach as the product worked well but lasted 24 hours, other products if you planned to wax the car once in its lifetime, and another for "regular" waxing every few months. By rating the various characteristics - durability, ease of application, price, ease of removal, gloss, whatever, you could pick the best product for your use.

I bought two small bottles two years ago and am barely halfway through one.

Message-ID: <017801cf51e6$87f10000$97d30000$@comcast.net> I'm going to try plastic welding to fill the cracks in the injection-molded single-pod dash from my '74 before I have it recovered. Not a difficult process, but I need to find out what kind of vinyl or plastic or whatever what used to mold the dash, as I'll need to match the plastic "welding rods" to that material.

Stock cast iron 351C heads use a taper seat plug, like the AR-25. But aluminum heads most likely have a flat seat and use a sealing washer on the plug. This helps prevent galling that would occur if using a taper seat. You CAN'T use a taper seat with a head built for a washer. So sorry, you can't use the AR-25. I use cast iron heads so I can't help recommend a better plug than what you are using, except that I really like NGK.

The study I saw recommended some products if your goal was Pebble Beach as the product worked well but lasted 24 hours, other products if you planned to wax the car once in its lifetime, and another for "regular" waxing every few months.

Water leaves a residue that is tough to remove. Maybe if it sheets instead of beads, it would be easier? ON the other hand, you case is a real case, but there are gazillions of cases to the contrary - people who wax their cars and don' thave the problem you had. I've waxed my cars all my life, as I imagine you have, and haven't had it happen. I'd chalk it up to flaky paint on that car.

On an even more serious note, I've stopped using wax. At LMC 2012 my freshly waxed Pantera made the raindrops bead and when the sun got on it, it ruined all horizontal surfaces, had to repaint it that winter. I realize that I had an inferior paint job, my painter called it "f...... American thermoplastic paint", but still, it makes you think. In the right conditions, rain, then hard sun, the beads that we like the look of, they act as magnifying glasses, testing your paint's properties to the max. And my Pantera is so rarely out in the sun, it doesn't need wax to keep it shining. For me, no more wax.

I have happily used the product for years, confident that it is the best bang for the buck, based on an impartial and scientific study. For me, this adds more value that anecdotal evidence such as someone saying "I use wax X and it works well". Unless you compare X to Y under the same conditions, how can you not know if Y works even better? Anyway, over here in Spain I've run out of my favorite Meguirs. So I used a 100% Carnuba that I got for Christmas on the daily driver BMW, and am horrified. It's the same brand that Johnny Woods uses on his Pantera (and actually sells) so if you've ever seen his car then you know that it makes things shiny. But it is a huuuuuge pain to remove. It requires a tremendous amount of force and scrubbing millimeter by millimeter to get the stuff off. I have wax powder everywhere - all the seams, it seems like the whole car is covered in a fine powder. I'd guess it took at least 3-4 times longer than the Meguir's due to the difficulty of removal - you really need to scrub hard to get the stuff off. All that time trying to get the damn stuff off made it clear to me that I need to buy more wax. But if I want to buy the best possible miracle wax, is anyone aware of a study where they compare the various brands back-to-back to determine which one is really the "best"? The study I saw recommended some products if your goal was Pebble Beach as the product worked well but lasted 24 hours, other products if you planned to wax the car once in its lifetime, and another for "regular" waxing every few months. By rating the various characteristics - durability, ease of application, price, ease of removal, gloss, whatever, you could pick the best product for your use. Anyone still subscribe to Consumer Reports? Anyone know of another impartial study? Thanks!

I need it to fit a #6 sheet metal screw with the most common type "AB" thread/point which I believe is 20 threads per inch. I've also seen these called "Pal" nuts but the Pal type may only apply to a machine thread which in this case would be 6-32. Which brings up another question - anyone seen a size chart for sheet metal screw thread pitches? BTW: I need this to restore a vintage Gibson guitar amp for my son Steve.

There have been Panteras running in that event consistently for several years now without fail. The team lineup may vary year to year due to their restricted entry system but someone has been there. Between Bob Radefeld, Bud Hower and Mark Skwarek, I think they've done more ORR than the rest of us combined in the last five years. Bud even drove out to SSCC a few years ago, and although Mark's new engine wasn't ready, he flew out to spend last year's SSCC with the team as well. I realize BBORR is far removed from the rest of the country due to the shear size of Texas, but it's like you have your own Open Road Race right there in your back yard, and there hasn't been a Pantera entered in over two years? I'm sure for you it seems like the best of the bunch; it's the only one you've really driven at speed.

I know trouble shooting through mail is difficult but I thought I'd ask. I also haven't figured out how to get to the mail archives to search previous posts so hope folks don't mind. Situation: I had my radiator re-cored due to age and some leaks. My car is a late 74 (#7366). When it was in the car before the repair my Meriah front pusher fans worked fine. They each came on as needed and didn't run most of the time. With the new radiator installed they both now run constantly even though the car is running very cool. They will run when I turn the ignition key before the engine even cranks. I have the stock wiring and only disconnected the brown and black wires from each of the temp sensors in the radiator during the removal and installation (took photos to reinstall correctly). I assume the temp senders are fine as I believe if they failed the fan(s) would stop working. I plan to trouble shoot it all this weekend and any leads are appreciated.

I replaced my original brake master cylinder about 5 years ago with a new one from Wilkinson Pantera. It was the kind that looks like the original and most of the vendors sell them today. Anyway, one of the rubber seals that connects the plastic fluid reservoir to the metal brake master cylinder is leaking (small pic attached with red circle). Steve W. had the seals listed on his online catalog but when I ordered them they said the part is no longer available. Anyone know where to find these seals? The rest of my master if fine and I'd prefer not to buy a new one as it's a very slow leak and looks repairable.

I would first disconnect the 2 sensor wires and turn the key to see if the fans run. If they do your problem is most likely in the relay. If they do not run the temp sensor is most likely bad. The temp sensor is nothing more then a temp controlled switch. It can be tested with a simple test light. Apply + voltage to one tab and place the test light on the other tab (make sure the test light has a good ground by touching it to the first tab to see it light up). If it is cold the light should not be on. As the water heats up to the temp of the switch, it will close and the light will come on. By connecting the two temp sensor wires together it should close the relay and start the fan. Most of this can be tested with the key just on. Remember some ignition systems do not like to be turned on for long periods of time without the motor running. You may want to unplug it.

One terminal on the sensor is connected to the radiator structure which may, or may not, provide a good ground connection and the other terminal closes to the first terminal when the temperature set point is reached. For the grounding of the sensor to not be dependent on the radiator structure, a ground wire is provided for each relay as well as the wire from the low side of the fan relay coil. However, IF the radiator structure is grounded and the wire from the low side of the fan relay is connected to the grounded terminal on the sensor, the fans will run at all times. I learned this by connecting my fan wires the wrong way around when I installed my newly rebuilt radiator. To fix this problem, swap the two wires at the sensor.

Message-ID: <7ca9c.2998674a.4079e7a4@aol.com> Hi guys, After several false starts and dashed hopes, I'm happy to report that factory Campagnolo Gr4 race wheels are once again available, brand new! Patrick Hals (owner of the famous 'Candy' factory Gr4 race Pantera) contracted with the world-famous Italian magnesium wheel manufacturer Marvic to reproduce the original wheels, since Campagnolo is no longer around. A few years ago, an Italian fellow who bought the original sand-cast wooden molds for the original wheels attempted to get some made by Marvic, but that project quickly ran out of steam for a variety of reasons and only a handful were produced. These new wheels are being made to the original design, using all-new molds. They are identical to the originals except for being stamped with the Marvic name (on the inside), and the material used is far superior to the originals. They are made using magnesium alloy AZ91 T4 (whatever that means) with steel inserts for the lug nuts. They can be had with either gold or silver paint. The GT5 and GT5-S used 15x10 and 15x13 wheels, while the race cars used 15x10 and 15x14 wheels. The 15x14 wheels were a rare option on street cars, and the few sets that I've seen trade hands went for about $5000, just for the rears! The price for the new wheels is rather eye-watering, at 1500 Euros each for the 15x10 fronts and 1800 each for the 15x14 rears (plus shipping from his home in Belgium). Patrick has already sold out most of the first production run, and only has three sets left, but now that they have been made and are in buyer's hands, interest is great and he is getting ready to have a second batch made. Attached is a photo of a set of wheels (with protective rim covers). For more information, and additional photos, you can contact Patrick directly at patrickhals at gmail.com Cheers!

I think there is a tendancy among many people to just grab any old gear oil and throw it in there, but the nature of a transaxle demands that one pays very close attention to the manufacturer's recommendations. All gear oils are NOT created equal! In this case, the first thing to do is RTFM. The manual specifically calls for SAE 80, AP GL5 (SAE 90 in Europe). 7 1/2 pints of the stuff. While it is very easy to find SAE 80-90 gear oil, it is surprisingly difficult to find *GL5* gear oil, and that's the important part. GL5 oil has specific characteristics designed to work with the types of synchros that our gearboxes have, which are different from most other gearboxes, and definitely different from a typical differential/rear axle. If you go to most auto parts stores, there will be lots of gear oil on the shelf but none of it will be GL5. The only place I have reliably found GL5 is NAPA auto parts; it is made by Sta-Lube/CRC. Here is the exact link to what you should buy: http://www.crcindustries.com/ei/product_detail.aspx?id=SL2473 It is normally sold in pints or gallons; since you need 7.5 pints and there are 8 pints in a gallon, obviously it is to your advantage to buy a gallon jug. My local NAPA store used to carry them, but I just had to order a jug a couple of weeks ago as they only have pints now. While you're at it, you might as well buy a gear oil pump, also by Sta-Lube: http://www.crcindustries.com/ei/product_detail.aspx?id=SL4344 Harbor Freight has a better picture of it: http://www.harborfreight.com/sta-lube-gear-fluid-oil-pump-40714.html Using this pump has transformed my life. Normally filling a ZF gearbox is a painful experience involving a lot of spilled gear oil and profanity. This turns it into a breeze. Just put the end of the hose in the side of the gearbox (where it's cleverly retained), and start pumping until you feel silly. When oil starts drooling out the side, you're done. Let it sit for a few minutes, give a few more pumps just to be sure, then you're really done.

Mild gear oil types are those EP oil grades which in the presence of condensation do not cause corrosion on steel and non-ferrous metal parts and hardening of gaskets and seals. The oils must meet our Lubrication Requirements for ZF-Transmission Nr. 13-118. Under these conditions, EP gear oils SAE 80 corresponding to specification MIL-L-2105 (A) can be used. In case of doubt, check with the oil supplier or ask our after sales service for the ZF-Lubrication List for ZF Synchro Gearboxes". I didn't see any reference to GL-5 in that but I'm not an expert. Just food for thought, here's a possibly related discussion that I got after searching the 'net: http://www.ratwell.com/technical/GearOil.html Interesting but part of the webpage contradicts Lloyd's FAQ reasoning about hyphoid and spiral bevel gears. Maybe a call to Lloyd B. or Dennis Q. would help here. A friend of mine likes the Penzoil synthetic GL-4. I have Brad Penn GL-4 in my box currently. I'm definitely interested if Lloyd or Dennis say otherwise.

The ZF recommendation is very specific but also very vague. They say the oil must meet a ZF specification, but what does that mean? Ask the guy at the parts store counter what MIL-L-2105 (A) spec is, and you'll get a slack jaw and a glassy stare. You need to look in the PANTERA owner's manual. It's right there--7 1/2 US pints of SAE 80 AP GL5 (or Agip F.1 Rotra MP SAE 90 for the Euro market). A good 80-90W GL5 is what you want.

So GL5 would be appropriate, just as the owners manual says. That said, I have always used Shell Getriebe?l, which is a fully synthetic GL4, but will now switch to some GL5.

The one thing Mike didn't mention in his post is that the goal is to fill the ZF to the point where oil starts to dribble out of the fill hole on the side. You will also need the ZF drain plug socket if you don't already have one. Most of the vendors carry them.

All gear oils are NOT created equal! In this case, the first thing to do is RTFM. The manual specifically calls for SAE 80, AP GL5 (SAE 90 in Europe). 7 1/2 pints of the stuff. While it is very easy to find SAE 80-90 gear oil, it is surprisingly difficult to find *GL5* gear oil, and that's the important part. GL5 oil has specific characteristics designed to work with the types of synchros that our gearboxes have, which are different from most other gearboxes, and definitely different from a typical differential/rear axle. If you go to most auto parts stores, there will be lots of gear oil on the shelf but none of it will be GL5. The only place I have reliably found GL5 is NAPA auto parts; it is made by Sta-Lube/CRC.

They only did one tip angle, but they look great on both L and Pre-L cars. I have a set of the SS on 6328, and sold my Mindtrains to put them on. They have a more mellow tone than the Mindtrains, not so much like an old speed boat, as my wife tells me. They did take a bit of "massaging" to fit them in, and the quality of the black paint could have been better (baked off the mufflers in the first couple hundred miles), but the ball flange mate between the header and pipe makes getting a tight fit at the right tip angle/alignment a breeze. If I still had my Mindtrains, it take them in to be retrofit for a ball flange connection.

At the time I wasn't in need of a new exhaust so I didn't give it allot of thought. I think it may have been Steve Wilkinson.

It may be repairable because it doesn't appear to be rusted out. I really like my mind train mufflers and "Hall big bore" headers and would prefer to keep them, but in the event they need to be replaced the S.S. headers mentioned in the aforementioned posts sounded good. Can some one refresh my memory about these? And any other suggestions or comments would also be welcomed.

When I had my motor built in '07, I had my builder install a set of aluminum roller rockers (don't recall the brand without digging out my build sheet) which were a rather blocky casting. Mine are blue (not sure if that means anything, FoMoCo?), but have seen the same from other manufacturers. There was quite a loud ticking that I thought to be much more serious than the truth. What was happening was that the corners of the rockers were contacting the angled portion of the oil fill and vent baffles in both valve covers, and I had to remove the covers, remove the baffles, relieve that area of the baffle with a slight peening, and reinstall them (never just take them out and toss them!!). You can check easily by removing the valve covers and looking at the baffle, or the corner of the rocker, and you'll see a wear spot. The strange part about this one is that you don't hear the noise at first, likely because the rocker doesn't leave contact with the baffle until there is a little wear in the softer aluminum material on the rocker, and the baffle is scratched a bit, then the noise is much like a stuck lifter or bent push rod as it's coming from the top of the motor. Also, trying to peen or relieve the baffle while it is still in the valve cover is very difficult as it is very easy to bend the baffle so it no longer stays seated in the cast lip in the cover meant to keep it in place. You could possibly do this with a Dremmel tool with a small grinding head. I'm not sure if polishing off the corner of the rocker is a good idea for balance or strength issues with the rocker. One local member recently had a bunch of us up to pull his motor. Said there was this horrendous whacking noise coming from his brand new build. The builder, located in California, told him the only way he'd check it out was if the owner pulled the motor and shipped it back to him. So, we have the motor out an on the pallet, just before we were going to strap it down and wrap it, and I mentioned to the guy "let's pull a valve cover and take a look". Sure enough, that was all it was. He pulled the manifold later to be sure there were no valve lifter issues or other obvious problems, but all else seems to be in good order. He was completely embarrassed to have had pull his motor for such a simple fix. Good luck.

This may seem like a strange question, but has anyone experienced a change in the mechanical sound of an engine by switching valve covers? I replaced the Ford Racing chrome covers this winter with fabricated alu valve covers. Man, they look good. But at idle, now I hear more valve train noise than exhaust noise. Can this be? I can of course have a valve train issue, but I don't think so.

If it was the NS version the noise you heard was the limited slip clutches binding a bit. Adding a bit of limited slip additive will make the oil a bit more slippery so the clutches don't make that noise. At least that would be one scientific explanation. Most people find the box shifts better with synthetic oil. Scientifically it should when it is cold because syn oils are less viscous when cold than dinosaur oils. But the "shifts better" is such a subjective feeling I'm not sure it means anything. Jim -----Original Message----- From: Tom Shinrock To: detomaso Sent: Sat, Apr 12, 2014 10:06 am Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] ZF gear oil I can add a data point here. I put Redline synthetic gear oil in my ZF two years ago. Not long after that my trans started making a groaning noise whenever I started from a dead stop and was making a turn (like turning at a four way stop). The groan was lower in pitch and louder than the typical gear whine and went away after completing the turn. I had my windshield replaced last summer by Cory Gehling. I mentioned this groaning noise and he asked when the last time I changed gear oil. I told him that I had put in the Redline synthetic only a year prior and he said that his experience was that the ZF doesn't work as well with synthetic oils because they were too slippery. He replaced the Redline with non-synthetic oil (Castrol I think) and the groan was gone. Shifting became much smoother too. Now I know my limited slip clutches are non-functional so that might make my situation atypical but my car run much better after making the oil switch.

We had a local tech session only a week ago where our POCA chapter purchased the oil to promote everyone changing their ZF fluid. The amount of people that had either not changed it for a long time or even never done it was surprising, considering the effects that have been posted on numerous occasions. One local members ZF is with Lloyd for that exact reason, not used and not rotated or oil changed and rust on the exposed portion of the gears. Someone contacted Lloyd and he had recommended the Valvoline 80W90 which as it turns out is available as a NAPA branded oil as well at lower cost than the Valvoline branded equivalent.

Adding a bit of limited slip additive will make the oil a bit more slippery so the clutches don't make that noise. At least that would be one scientific explanation. Most people find the box shifts better with synthetic oil. Scientifically it should when it is cold because syn oils are less viscous when cold than dinosaur oils.

I was also advised about the little fitment problem with bolts. I had the machine shop machine the bolt holes for the bolt that I used to insure optimal fitment. So far, six years and over 8,000 miles, all is well, except the gas tank is leaking...sigh. It is always something.

It is a 75W90 GL4 oil that is recommended for gearboxes and FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE transaxles but not rear wheel drive diffs. Unfortunately I don't know enough about transaxles to know why GL4 oil is best for a Fiat transaxle but wouldn't be good for a ZF or Ferrari unit. Or maybe it would be??

So GL5 would be appropriate, just as the owners manual says. That said, I have always used Shell GetriebeAP:l, which is a fully synthetic GL4, but will now switch to some GL5.

It's very easy to get that job wrong; when that happens the car will shake like a wet dog and there's nothing you can do about it. For that reason alone I am very much opposed to Centerforce clutches. Chances are you could fix it by buing a very expensive Centerforce flywheel, or alternately, a slightly less expensive McLeod clutch that would bolt right up to the original holes on the flywheel. The Fidanza flywheel uses a removable balance weight so that you can have either 28.8 or 50.0 oz of imbalance, making it suitable for either style of Ford engine.

Ooh. Er.... The Centerforce clutch uses a non-Ford bolt pattern, so you would have had to have a machine shop redrill the holes in the flywheel to accomodate the clutch. It's very easy to get that job wrong; when that happens the car will shake like a wet dog and there's nothing you can do about it. For that reason alone I am very much opposed to Centerforce clutches. Chances are you could fix it by buing a very expensive Centerforce flywheel, or alternately, a slightly less expensive McLeod clutch that would bolt right up to the original holes on the flywheel. The Fidanza flywheel uses a removable balance weight so that you can have either 28.8 or 50.0 oz of imbalance, making it suitable for either style of Ford engine. If you got that wrong, that could be the problem too. > > >The first time I had it out I drilled the old ring bolts and safety > wired it, but I have decided to get new ARP bolts and redo it. > >>>Why?

(But when it is it is driven until fully warmed up.) I do brake fluid every year and coolant every 2 but the transaxle oil can go longer where I live. But 25K miles would be time to change for sure.

I base this on the fact that at Le Mans Classic I ran across a vendor who had 1-year old 285's for sale (and with them - I saw them), but I don't remember if I saw this in LMC 2012 or 2014. I still have their business card in my wallet in case I need it. I think they were ?380/tire or something. It seems as though about every 5 years they make a batch of 1000. They do not always make fronts and rears at the same time. The Yokos last a lot longer than the Pirellis I used to use. Although I got married about the same time I switched brands, which may have affected their mode of use ;-) -----Original Message----- From: DeTomaso [mailto:detomaso-bounces at poca.com] On Behalf Of Bjoern Flesland Sent: s?bado, 12 de abril de 2014 14:08 To: detomaso at poca.com Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] New factory Gr4 wheels available! These Yokos are probably very old tires? Who would want brand new nice magnesium wheels with old tires? Do you happen to know the manufacturing dates on the 285/40/15 tires available? And when was the last batch made by Yokohama? Did they make batches of front and rear tires at the same time? The last rear Yokos made I know of are probably 10 years old.

The issue we mentioned about the bolt holes. It is threaded 100%, which doesn?t work with shoulder bolts. 2. It contacts the plastic insert that plugs the inspection hole. If you want to run the insert, you could probably trim it to fit. I just left mine off. I think it even fits the stock flywheel. It has more than one pattern.

Took the fabricated covers off, and yes, there had been contact. Found out that the local fabricator that I got to install a plate to avoid oil at PCV etc., I asked him to raise max 15 mm and he raised 17 mm. So I dented and grinded (ground?) that off so there was no contact. It sounded like a Pantera again. But I had also tried my previous very high "Ford Racing" covers, and they sounded best, least valve train noise, most exhaust noise. Mvh/Regards Mikael -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Mike Thomas [mailto:mbefthomas at comcast.net] Sendt: 12. april 2014 18:16 Til: 'Mikael'; detomaso at poca.com Emne: RE: [DeTomaso] Valve cover sound, strangest question of the day? If you are talking about the cast aluminum valve covers with DeTomaso on the top, and you are running a set of aluminum roller rockers, you may be experiencing interference between the rockers and the baffles in the valve cover. When I had my motor built in '07, I had my builder install a set of aluminum roller rockers (don't recall the brand without digging out my build sheet) which were a rather blocky casting. Mine are blue (not sure if that means anything, FoMoCo?), but have seen the same from other manufacturers. There was quite a loud ticking that I thought to be much more serious than the truth. What was happening was that the corners of the rockers were contacting the angled portion of the oil fill and vent baffles in both valve covers, and I had to remove the covers, remove the baffles, relieve that area of the baffle with a slight peening, and reinstall them (never just take them out and toss them!!). You can check easily by removing the valve covers and looking at the baffle, or the corner of the rocker, and you'll see a wear spot. The strange part about this one is that you don't hear the noise at first, likely because the rocker doesn't leave contact with the baffle until there is a little wear in the softer aluminum material on the rocker, and the baffle is scratched a bit, then the noise is much like a stuck lifter or bent push rod as it's coming from the top of the motor. Also, trying to peen or relieve the baffle while it is still in the valve cover is very difficult as it is very easy to bend the baffle so it no longer stays seated in the cast lip in the cover meant to keep it in place. You could possibly do this with a Dremmel tool with a small grinding head. I'm not sure if polishing off the corner of the rocker is a good idea for balance or strength issues with the rocker. One local member recently had a bunch of us up to pull his motor. Said there was this horrendous whacking noise coming from his brand new build. The builder, located in California, told him the only way he'd check it out was if the owner pulled the motor and shipped it back to him. So, we have the motor out an on the pallet, just before we were going to strap it down and wrap it, and I mentioned to the guy "let's pull a valve cover and take a look". Sure enough, that was all it was. He pulled the manifold later to be sure there were no valve lifter issues or other obvious problems, but all else seems to be in good order. He was completely embarrassed to have had pull his motor for such a simple fix. Good luck.

This may seem like a strange question, but has anyone experienced a change in the mechanical sound of an engine by switching valve covers? I replaced the Ford Racing chrome covers this winter with fabricated alu valve covers. Man, they look good. But at idle, now I hear more valve train noise than exhaust noise. Can this be? I can of course have a valve train issue, but I don't think so.

I seem to recall dyno results over the years that support the "dogbone" air cleaner mount 1) reduces HP; 2) doesn't change HP much and 3) increases HP. IIRC the Space City Panteras had a dyno day where their tests showed a substantial benefit with the dogbone. Unfortunately, I don't see that on their website tech section. If you were able to borrow one and if you're going to dyno the engine, then you could do the experiment yourself.

Once on my 408 where the dogbone without a spacer was 10HP down as compared to running no aircleaner on an engine dynometer. The 2nd test was on a chassis dyno using Gray Gregory's car with a 377 Cleveland. The dogbone showed one horsepower more than without it. We attributed the increase to within the margin of error. He used no spacer and a single element on both sides. I believe some deeper testing was done a couple years back where an individual varied the height of the spacer under the dogbone. If I recall correctly, a 1.5" worked best with no additional gains beyond. Anyone recall the specifics? As seen in the pic, I now run the dogbone with four K&N airfilter elements and a 2" spacer on top of a strip dominator. It does not block my view out the rear as I look out over the top of it.

He was running one of those old B&M air filter setups that are sort of a T-shape with two flat square elements one on each side of the carburetor. I tested it with and without the filters and then with a few different height spacers under the filter assembly. It was quite interesting. With no spacer it was terrible with or without the filter elements. With a 1" spacer it was fine with or without the elements and it did not hurt power on a 425HP engine. Going to a 2" spacer was worse than no spacer at all! Having the carburetor way down in a hole was as bad or worse as having them within about 1/2" of the top, when it came to bowl venting. It was quite interesting how a 1" spacer helped so much but a 2" spacer made it terrible again. It was weird but it shows how critical this stuff can be and how important it can be to test on the dyno with the same air filter you'll be using on the street or track."

I bought a 1987 Ford Crown Victoria that was an ex-Cook County Sheriff Dept car. It had no battery, so there was no way of starting the engine before the auction to know if it even ran. It had 2 14" rims on one side, and 2 15" on the other side so it was decidedly lopsided. But I paid $250 cash for it, bought a new battery and 2 15" rims in the junkyard, and drove that car for years. The thing was huge and drove like a boat, but I loved that car!

Summary:- when the two wires (brown and black) are connected to the thermo switch the fans run constantly- when the two wires are switched on the thermo sensor the fans still run constantly- when I connect the thermo leads to each other the relays work- connecting a connectivity meter to the blades of the thermo switches shows that they are in the closed position and allowing current flow, thus the fans always run My new rebuilt radiator is working great but I am surprised that both thermo switches are bad given that they both worked fine before the radiator was re-cored.

I opened mine up, and they were full of water, and with some TLC I got them sort of working, but I replaced them with modern threaded switches. I'm now controlling the fan from the EFI instead, so no switches at all in the radiator. Perhaps the shop leak tested the radiator with air pressure in a water tank, with the switches in place?

I deduced that both my thermo switches are bad. Summary:- when the two wires (brown and black) are connected to the thermo switch the fans run constantly- when the two wires are switched on the thermo sensor the fans still run constantly- when I connect the thermo leads to each other the relays work- connecting a connectivity meter to the blades of the thermo switches shows that they are in the closed position and allowing current flow, thus the fans always run My new rebuilt radiator is working great but I am surprised that both thermo switches are bad given that they both worked fine before the radiator was re-cored. I guess something happened to them during boiling out and welding of the new radiator components if the shop had the sensors mounted while doing the work. I'll be looking to order some new ones or go with the slick fan control kit from Pantera Electronics. Thanks again!

It's the 9th consecutive year! Wow, where does the time go? Since the economic downturn of 2008/9, and reduced weekend attendance, we've had to keep the event efficient, so again it will be a one-day track event only. All chapters of POCA, and Pantera-friends-in-good-standing are invited to attend or participate. We operate with little overhead, so I think you will agree the price is right for a day of driving on the 2.5 mile road course. The superspeedway was re-paved two years ago, and the infield was re-paved last year. (those that participated in recent years will attest to the surface improvement.) Since there is not room/time for a formal concours, we will be hosting an informal car display at the raceway. Come bring your cool car, park, and hang with us. Jersey Panteras, the Ferrari Club of America, the Corvett Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Viper Club of NJ, and the Maserati Club all hope you will join us. You can find registration and information documents attached or at the event website www.pocono-CSD.com Hope to see you there, Tony DiGiovanna President, Jersey Panteras -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I dug out my bills from the Speed shop, and there is a note saying the number IS 1281DV! So it looks like the Napa guy is right! When I bought mine the first one came for a Chevy?

A buddy of mine who imports parts for his Opel restoration business found a master from a Ferrari(not positive of the model,but might be a Mondial?)that had the correct mounting spacing.Still need to drill out the threads.It is also carried by Centric,made by LPR part # is 136.44897.This has the square reservoir. The round reservoir like the originals was made by ATE,also re-boxed by Centric,part # is 136.44356.It is discontinued,but i called pretty much every warehouse i could to find and modify for the Pantera. Both of these are/were made in Italy. I have one ATE,round reservoir master left.I am out of the LPR square reservoir masters. I have talked with Centric and they have ordered more masters ,but they could not give me a date as to when they will be available. The CNC master can be modified to fit.The CNC master has a wider mounting so you have to elongate the mounting holes.The clevis will have to be shortened as well.The outlet is at the front of the master and is 1/8 pipe thread so you will need to get a 90 degree fitting for that and you will need to cut and flare your copper clutch line to match. Wilwood also makes a clutch master that will fit with some modification,but is better as it has a longer stroke.You will have to do the same modification to the mounting holes and clevis as the CNC,as well as the opening for the master needs to be enlarged,or do none of the modifications and get the adapter from Gary at Rc-tech?(the guy on this board with the awesome brown"Trans Am"Pantera,that he is making himself).I know Sacc Restorations has a Wilwood master kit,but i do not know if it has the adapter like Gary makes.

(303) 660-6094. Tell Becky I sent you. :-) My 2511 came from Dennis with a CNC 5/8" clutch master and an internal hydraulic throwout bearing. At that time, the CNC bolt pattern required an aluminum adapter piece which Dennis supplied. I would assume that adapter was sourced from Dennis' regular supplier - IPSCO, Mark Johnson (303) 252-4481 The Dennis sourced master was all aluminum, no SS or brass sleeve. I had rebuilt it once before, but with its obvious second failure approaching, I looked for a better option than another rebuild. I talked with Dennis and the very knowledgeable lady that picks up the phone at CNC. I learned CNC now makes a proper bolt pattern clutch master for the Pantera. However, it is only sold through Dennis. But as I already had the adapter, I could again use a new CNC master with their standard bolt pattern. CNC offers most (all?) of their masters with a SS sleeve, but the SS is an upgrade option. I ordered a standard (NOT Pantera bolt pattern) SS sleeved master, and on Dennis' advice changed to a bore of 3/4". Part # 701-3/4-SS -- round CNC master with SS sleeve. So, yes you can get a SS CNC clutch master. You can get a bolt-on from Dennis, just make sure it is the SS version. Or you can source the adapter and use one of CNC's off-the-shelf SS versions. As for Scott's suggestion of moving to a 7/8" version, I'd check with Dennis if that is advisable when used with your long-throw slave. Hope this helps.

At that time, the CNC bolt pattern required an aluminum adapter piece which Dennis supplied. I would assume that adapter was sourced from Dennis' regular supplier - IPSCO, Mark Johnson (303) 252-4481 The Dennis sourced master was all aluminum, no SS or brass sleeve. I had rebuilt it once before, but with its obvious second failure approaching, I looked for a better option than another rebuild. I talked with Dennis and the very knowledgeable lady that picks up the phone at CNC. I learned CNC now makes a proper bolt pattern clutch master for the Pantera. However, it is only sold through Dennis. But as I already had the adapter, I could again use a new CNC master with their standard bolt pattern. CNC offers most (all?) of their masters with a SS sleeve, but the SS is an upgrade option. I ordered a standard (NOT Pantera bolt pattern) SS sleeved master, and on Dennis' advice changed to a bore of 3/4". Part # 701-3/4-SS -- round CNC master with SS sleeve.

Now I'm looking for a new one. the one I have is a centerforce with one number on the pressure plate that looks like 382497sc bit hard to see. can not find someone in Norway that sells one such set. anyone who can point me in the right place to buy a new one? I want to get one identical to the one I have. So i do not get any problems with installation. welcomes all the tips and advice :) PS to my information, I think that the flywheel and the engine is original.

I do have a Pantera reference from Scandanavia, IIRC, which shows a modification that uses a hole saw to cut an access hole in the passenger side of the box about three inches in diameter. From what I understand, it permits sight and access to the dreaded inaccessible dark recess behind the dash. I have not done this job nor have I done this mod, but from what I think I know, it could make the task a darn sight easier. The original author reported that once the hole is made and used and the job is done, then it can be plugged, tastefully, with a common commercially available plastic plug. Perhaps someone has first hand experience with this trick?

I do have a Pantera reference from Scandanavia, IIRC, which shows a modification that uses a hole saw to cut an access hole in the passenger side of the box about three inches in diameter. From what I understand, it permits sight and access to the dreaded inaccessible dark recess behind the dash. I have not done this job nor have I done this mod, but from what I think I know, it could make the task a darn sight easier. The original author reported that once the hole is made and used and the job is done, then it can be plugged, tastefully, with a common commercially available plastic plug.

I used silicone in my Ghibli and the brakes were too soft to be safe, went back to dot 4 and all was well.

Basically just a cap with a hose you screw on to the master, hook the hose to the front left wheel for air pressure, and then you can bleed by yourself. No pumping or assistant needed. Works great for both brakes and clutch. http://www.mekonomen.se/systemmedia/product/42-71340/bromsluftningsverktyg.jpg Thomas Tom Shinrock skrev 2014-04-17 15:11: > In regards to needing help with bleeding the clutch hydraulic line, has > anyone installed a speed bleeder on the slave so it can be bled with > just one person?

It's been a few years since I was under the dash, but a I recall it looked like a home job of welding. But then again, factory welding might look the same. However; I would think if it had been a factory job, more folks would have noticed in their cars. I've been busy of late and was hoping to locate the O2 sensor this weekend, pull the exhaust on that side and have my friend drill for the bung and weld in the bung and then I could begin testing. I also picked up some tools that might help me look at ignition pulses; I have to get in the garage and test that too. This weekend was supposed to be free enough to begin all that but I think things are already piling in that are non-car related.

It is generally easy enough to drive without a clutch. I once lost the clutch in my 68 mustang. I drove 200 miles without it. I think the synchros are better in a top loader, but I would hope I could shift a ZF clutch less.

Oh, and if you plan to just drive your car for years and years and years and not worry about the rubber in the brake or clutch system rotting away, well, silicone is great stuff! Witness my XKE which has not had to have its brakes or clutch rebuilt in the 35 years and 130,000 miles since I switched. We have to remember that not everyone wants a yellow car with ostrich-skin upholstery, or to run their car on a track.

You should rebuild both master and slave cylinders and flush the line well to get the old normal fluid out. Yes, it is a little more compressible than the glycol-based normal fluid but it should work. I used silicone brake fluid for the brakes and clutch when I restored my TR6 and am glad I did- those masters sit right above a large exposed painted area that would have been ruined if I hadn't.

I own a pressure bleeder and although I have used it on my brakes I have not tried it on the clutch master . I didn't have the necessary attachment to use it on the clutch master and the speed bleeder is less expensive then the power bleeder attachment and works so well I didn't see the benefit in using the power bleeder ,( which can be messy and requires a substantial amount of hydraulic fluid ( 1 quart plus of which the majority is wasted.) The power bleeder needs over a quart to work and the master only uses a few ounces and all the extra fluid needed to use the power bleeder needs to be disposed of after you bleed the system. I suppose if you had a shop where you bleed brakes and clutches everyday it might make economical sense ( if all the cars you did used the same brake fluid) but for me a SS speed bleeder is a superior choice. A SS speed bleeder costs around $15 and with a plastic tube and catch bottle it doesn't make any type of mess . If you have speed bleeders installed you can bleed your clutch or brakes anywhere, and by yourself , in just a few minutes with no other tools other then the appropriate bleed screw wrench and a bottle of brake fluid. If you believe in the concept of "keep it simple" it doesn't get much simpler then this! I have to give credit to Bob Levitt ( President of the Long Island POCA group and known for his participation in the "Gumball" event) who turned me on to the use of speed bleeders.

I own a pressure bleeder and although I have used it on my brakes I have not tried it on the clutch master . I didn't have the necessary attachment to use it on the clutch master and the speed bleeder is less expensive then the power bleeder attachment and works so well I didn't see the benefit in using the power bleeder ,( which can be messy and requires a substantial amount of hydraulic fluid ( 1 quart plus A of which the majority is wasted.) The power bleeder needs over a quart to work and the master only uses a few ounces and all the extra fluid needed to use the power bleeder A needs to be disposed of after you bleed the system. I suppose if you had a shop where you bleed brakes and clutches everyday it might make economical sense ( if all the cars you did used the same brake fluid) but for me a SS speed bleeder A is a superior choice. A SS speed bleeder costs around A $15 and with a plastic tube and catch bottle it A doesn't make any type of mess . If you have speed bleeders installed you can bleed your clutch or brakes anywhere, and by yourself , in just a few minutes A with no other tools other then the appropriate bleed screw wrench and a bottle of brake fluid. If you believe in the concept of "keep it simple" it doesn't get much simpler then this! I have to give credit to Bob Levitt ( President of the Long Island POCA group and known for his participation A in the "Gumball" event) who turned me on to the use of speed bleeders.

Mike is talking about the clutch master and slave, not the brakes. So the question is are the seals in the clutch system compatible with mineral oil or are they the same material as brake seals? Both were designed for brake fluid but a clutch system is a lower temperature application. Dan Jones On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 7:01 AM, Espen Graffer wrote: > I believe that's a bad idea.

Starting off from a stopped position was the tricky part, I had to shut the car off at a full stop and then put it in 2nd gear and use the starter motor to start the car in gear. It would lurch for a foot or two until the engine fired and then off I would go! It was a monumental effort to avoid red lights or stop and go traffic, I didn't know how many starts my starter motor would hold out for so I made every effort to avoid coming to a full stop. The Pantera (at least mine) takes allot more effort to drive and I never tried to start it in gear but I would rather call a tow truck then try the same technique I used in the Z.

Starting off from a stopped position was the tricky part, I had to shut the car off at a full stop and then put it in 2nd gear and use the starter motor to start the car in gear. It would lurch for a foot or two until the engine fired and then off I would go! It was a monumental effort to avoid red lights or stop and go traffic, I didn't know how many starts my starter motor would hold out for so I made every effort to avoid coming to a full stop. The Pantera (at least mine) takes allot more effort to drive and I never tried to start it in gear but I would rather call a tow truck then try the same technique I used in the Z.

Normally this additive is a good thing and almost mandatory in cars like the Corvette which has a fairly high degree of limited slip lock up. Our cars have a two fold issues with these extra slippery additives. Number one is our diff uses a rather low limited slip lock up so this extra slip actually decreases what little lock up we have. Number two is this additive will inhibit our synchro rings ability to do its job and in extreem cases will burn up the synchro rings and the towers on the gears costing big bucks. I've rebuilt ZF's since the late 1970's and have replaced dozens of synchro rings & gear sets due to the use of these additives. As Jack DeRyke says "your mileage may vary" !!!! Leslie A.

Due to that, the Mailman server has experienced a large number of bounces on certain accounts who have protections in place. This means some people have email accounts where bad messages don't get delivered, and a -bounce- message is returned to the Mailman server. This has caused those subscribers to have their account suspended. This doesn't mean they've been removed. Because I got the bad email myself, I know about this. When the admin email box for the Mailman server started indicating a lot of bounces and disabling of accounts, I went in and checked, and if a user had not already re-enabled delivery themselves, I tried to take care of it for them. All should be alright now. You each should be receiving a monthly reminder of your account. You can use that to log in and check the settings of your account.

Byars and Hall get theirs from the same source; theirs are stainless, which are then either painted black, or polished. (Fiberglass ones are also available from PI Motorsports, and Pantera Parts Connection). If I had an L-model, installing steel Euro bumpers is the very first thing I would do. Wolfgang Geisler has done a great job documenting the conversion of his '73 US L-model which has Byars bumpers front and rear now; photos in the registry: http://www.provamo.com/Members/Registry/RegistryImages/RTHPNNA05891/RTH PNNA05891.asp Mike From MikeLDrew at aol.com Sat Apr 19 02:20:31 2014 From: MikeLDrew at aol.com (MikeLDrew at aol.com) Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2014 02:20:31 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [DeTomaso] Nice and clean 72 in UK for sale Message-ID: In a message dated 4/18/14 10 20 24, rob at dumoulins.net writes: > Pic has a GTS decal.

(seen at this Ebay link) [1]http://www.ebay.com/itm/251447672496?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksi d=p3984.m1423.l2649 I am converting the back to bumperettes and the used ones I briefly had,... disappeared at the body shop so I gave these guys a shot for a replacement. The bumpers are polished stainless steel and I give them high marks for quality. The fronts look like a perfect copy of my originals and maybe even a little nicer. Note; the mounting holes to not match the front or back so I will have to fit the bumperttes to the car.

I immediately recognized this picture as being from the December 1984 issue of Motor Trend. I was hooked on Panteras when they came out while I was in high school and college. Every time I would see one I'd have to soak in as much as I could with my eyeballs and my ears. After I graduated college I moved to Iowa where the population of exotic cars is low. As the years went on, Pantera sightings became very rare. When I received my 1984 December issue of Motor Trend I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw a Pantera on the cover with the aforementioned gal and cat. I devoured the article and then read it again. It had a many color pictures of the car. The article stated that the Panteras were being imported by Stauffer Classics and being federalized by Kirk Evans (at least the car in the article was). The article also stated the Kirk brought another federalized GT5 to the Ohio Transportation Research Center for testing, which is the photo in the data panel. Ironically, less than three years after I read that article I bought my Euro GTS and had it restored by Stauffer. I visited Stauffer's shop many times during my restoration and saw several GT5s and GT5-S cars while there. That is how I came to know Cory Gehling (Collectors Choice). Cory was working for Stauffer at the time and assisting with the importation of Panteras. I scanned the magazine cover and the pages of the article and put them in my album on the POCA website. http://www.poca.com/index.php/album/shinrock-tom Don't know if people can lift the images off the scan for pictures or not.

First, it looks like it has 17" Campy replicas that have been painted, which in my opinion is the way they should be. The polished bling wheels have never done it for me, I know it is personal preference but I like the original look. Second, absolutely love the color. It is very similar to the color on my US GTS. My only criticism would be that I don't see the lower rocker painted black. In my opinion the black down below breaks it up and somehow makes it look more squat. That aside, it looks beautiful.

They do away with some basic principles and replace good engineering with slob simplicity. You lose the ability to monitor the performance of your electrical system, other than by using the ammeter. If you happen to replace your ammeter with a voltmeter and have a one-wire alternator, you're done monitoring anything meaningful. When your voltmeter drifts imperceptly down (miles after your alternator quit, or worse yet, the belt snapped), the car will simply stop due to a dead battery, and the first real indication you have of electrical failure is the fact that you are pushing your car to the side of the road.

I haven't touched a set in years and I confess I've just given up trying to figure out their mechanics. I understand that the piston must be rotated 45 degrees to unlock it before it is compressed to fit new pads; it is then rotated back into position. But as to how the caliper actually works, I'm at a loss. AJ has terrific photos here: http://www.teampanteraracing.com/gallery2/v/asajay/pantera/brakes/rearbrakes / I'm used to the idea of a caliper that is open on the rotor side, and closed on the back side; I can wrap my brain around the idea of hydraulic pressure being applied to the back side of the piston, and being forced out of the caliper housing and thus acting on the back of the brake pad. But the stock rear calipers are open on both sides. I know there is a heavy steel housing that wraps around the calipers, so it's safe to assume that the side facing away from the rotor presses against this housing, which wraps around to the inside and acts on the back side of the inside pad. I take it that brake pressure is introduced into the center of this chamber, and the two halves of the piston arrangement are forced outwards, away from one another? One works directly against the back of the outer pad while the other works on the metal surrounding housing and transmits force to the other pad? What I don't understand is the function of the parking brake system. It appears that when the caliper is in the normal orientation, with the slot facing straight up-and-down, the two halves are locked together, and by rotating the piston 45 degrees, the threads unlock and the piston can be compressed. What I don't get is how the piston then extends out of the caliper, if it is locked to the other side and pressure is trying to force them apart? How does the piston move and compensate for pad wear? Because I've never had a set of rear calipers apart in my hands, I'm just not getting it. Anybody care to do some 'splainin'?

Yes it all has to do with the parking brake. What all this is doing is keeping the parking brake adjusted as the pads wear. When the piston is in the "normal" mode it can come out, but can not go back into the caliper. As the pads wear down the piston stays out more and more. This way when you set the parking brake it does not have to move much to be applied. This action can be looked at as automatic parking brake adjustment. I have had some vehicle, at one time, that the top of the parking brake handle would turn to shorten the cable to make adjustments as needed. Simple and EZ, but one has to think to use it, so it will never be seen again.

I haven't touched a set in years and I confess I've just given up trying to figure out their mechanics. I understand that the piston must be rotated 45 degrees to unlock it before it is compressed to fit new pads; it is then rotated back into position. But as to how the caliper actually works, I'm at a loss. AJ has terrific photos here: http://www.teampanteraracing.com/gallery2/v/asajay/pantera/brakes/rearbrakes / I'm used to the idea of a caliper that is open on the rotor side, and closed on the back side; I can wrap my brain around the idea of hydraulic pressure being applied to the back side of the piston, and being forced out of the caliper housing and thus acting on the back of the brake pad. But the stock rear calipers are open on both sides. I know there is a heavy steel housing that wraps around the calipers, so it's safe to assume that the side facing away from the rotor presses against this housing, which wraps around to the inside and acts on the back side of the inside pad. I take it that brake pressure is introduced into the center of this chamber, and the two halves of the piston arrangement are forced outwards, away from one another? One works directly against the back of the outer pad while the other works on the metal surrounding housing and transmits force to the other pad? What I don't understand is the function of the parking brake system. It appears that when the caliper is in the normal orientation, with the slot facing straight up-and-down, the two halves are locked together, and by rotating the piston 45 degrees, the threads unlock and the piston can be compressed. What I don't get is how the piston then extends out of the caliper, if it is locked to the other side and pressure is trying to force them apart? How does the piston move and compensate for pad wear? Because I've never had a set of rear calipers apart in my hands, I'm just not getting it. Anybody care to do some 'splainin'? Mike (loves the simplicity of non-sliding four-piston fixed calipers!) From asajay at asajay.com Thu Apr 24 09:56:00 2014 From: asajay at asajay.com (Asa Jay Laughton) Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2014 06:56:00 -0700 Subject: [DeTomaso] Stock rear calipers questions In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <535917F0.6020506@asajay.com> If you look closely at the innards of the piston assembly, you'll see it's a set of ratcheting teeth, allowing it to expand and lock but not compress. The back of the piston assembly is bolted to the upright. The large frame slides on the caliber. When pressure is applied, one piston presses on the brake pad and then against the rotor; while the other presses against the sliding frame which then transmits the force to the -other- side of the caliber against the other brake pad and then against the rotor. The parking brake simply does the same thing mechanically. I thought someone at some point built a moving illustration of this somewhere but I don't know where it is now.

There are "teeth" on the rod connected to the piston that engage a mating surface inside the pot that the piston slides in and out of. The teeth allow the piston to move out as the pads wear but do not let it move back. This keeps the pads within the same distance of the rotor as they wear so there is not as much pedal movement when you apply the brakes and to automatically adjust the parking brake. The pot is mechanically connected to the lever that is actuated by the parking brake so that when the handle is pulled up the whole pot is forced against the rotor so the locked piston can apply pressure to the pads. The teeth and mating surface are only present on the middle of the quadrants of the piston rod. Hard to describe but think of it as the rod having teeth at the 1 to 2 o'clock, 4 to 5 o'clock, 7 to 8 o'clock and 10 to 11 o'clock positions. The other positions do not have teeth. This is why when you turn the piston 45 degrees the teeth unmesh from the mating surface and the piston can be moved in and out freely. If the piston is not rotated back to the locked position, the parking brake won't work.

My recollection is that the flex plate ring gear is deeper than the fly wheel ring gear. The Hi Torque starter made by IMI is really nice but it does not use a remote solenoid if that is what you want. They have sold starters to vendors and know what you need for a Pantera.

In my opinion the IMI is a superior starter , the quality of it's American manufacture is apparent by just looking at it. It is considerably more expensive then the DB starter. I switched from the DB starter 9Which is made in China) because I thought it was suffering from manufacturers defects but the problem was in fact that the firewall mounted solenoid was cracked. The DB "Wiring kit" is just a piece of 18 Ga wire( with a ring mounted on none end) that is used to run from the fire wall solenoid to the starter. You also need to move the wire from one side of the fire wall solenoid to the other side. ( the instructions included are very clear.) DB also has great customer support. If I had to do it over again I would probably stick with the DB starter. IT is a PMGR starter and cured my Pantera's hot start problem for around 25% of the cost of the IMIstarter. The IMI sure looks pretty and as I have said very well made. It was much more difficult to install then the DB With its spacer and rotating ring to allow various positions for mounting ( there was only one position that would fit!!).And although people have said the DB stater requires new studs I didn't find that to be necessary.

Since I never had overheating problems, I decided to put another Hall radiator back in instead of dealing with the extra time and expense of putting in an aluminum radiator with sucker fans (I still use the factory pusher fans). I got the radiator installed today so I'm ready to put coolant back in. I've always used the old green coolant. Before I put new coolant back in, I thought I'd ping the group for opinions on what coolant to use. Green, Yellow (extended life), or you name a color. The one thing I won't use is Dex-cool (orange). I basically have a rebuilt stock engine and the brass/copper radiator. My main question is whether the extended life coolant is a better way to go. I looked at a couple of places and saw that they didn't even stock the full strength green coolant anymore. Thanks for any suggestions.

Grundy had a far lower premium for much better coverage. As I mentioned my Liability coverage went from 100/300 (that's $300K total with $100K per incident or payee (i think) Grundy gave me $500K single limit which if I understand correctly means they will pay up to $500K in a single claim. My agreed value went up 60% over what it was with American Modern Home. I was told by a list member and by the Haggerty agent that American Modern Home underwrites (provides) the Insurance that Haggertysells and they AMH provide the same underwriting for several of the well known collector car insurance sellers. So I would highly recommend anyone who's policy is up for renewal or who wants to increase their coverage limits to give grundya call ( or go to their web sight) It was a quick painless process. i got an underwriters approval in only two days wit a single good photo of my car. AMH was more difficult to deal with and took much longer to underwrite. Even after I had coverage with them I wanted to add another collector car I purchased. They couldn't or wouldn't supply immediate coverage even though I had already purchased the car. I had to purchase a policy from progressive to cover the car while I waited for AMH to approve the addition to my policy. Once they did Progressive refunded my premium. I never had a claim with AMH but when Dennis (from the list) Pantera was totaled by Hurricane Sandy they paid him off in no time with no problems. They also offered him the opportunity to buy his car back from them for a reasonable price.

Initially I was concerned about them covering cars with modifications but that is apparently not a major problem so long as any modifications are disclosed. The insurance company would be within their rights to refuse payment of a claim if you had not supplied accurate information to the insurance company. They will even cover someone who has made previous claims ( against them or other insurance companies). The member that was covered by Grundy and recommended them to me, has re insured him and sold the wrecked car back to him. I don't think one can ask for more ( or better coverage and customer service) then that! I hope I never need to put hem to the test. but I feel as confident as I ever have with a new insurance carrier and have no reservations about recommending them to others. Sincerely, Hugh Boyd Casey P.S. Full disclosure , I have no financial interests in Grundy or any other insurance companies.

A Initially I was concerned about them covering A cars with modifications but that is apparently A not a major problem so long as any modifications are disclosed. A The insurance company would be within their rights to refuse payment of a claim if you had not supplied accurate information to the insurance company. A They will even cover someone who has made previous claims ( against them or other insurance companies). A The member that was covered by Grundy and A recommended them to me, has re insured him A and sold the wrecked car back to him. I don't think A one can ask for more ( or better coverage and customer service) then that! I hope I never need to put A hem to the test. but I feel as confident as A I ever have with a new insurance carrier and have no reservations A about recommending them to others. Sincerely, Hugh Boyd Casey P.S. Full disclosure , I have no financial interests in Grundy or any other insurance companies.

Gray -----Original Message----- From: DeTomaso [mailto:detomaso-bounces at poca.com] On Behalf Of Boyd Casey Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 10:19 AM To: Asa Jay Laughton Cc: detomaso at poca.com Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Collector car Insurance It seems to me that the two most important issues are , #1 that they will underwrite your car ,and #2 that they actually pay when you have a claim. Initially I was concerned about them covering cars with modifications but that is apparently not a major problem so long as any modifications are disclosed. The insurance company would be within their rights to refuse payment of a claim if you had not supplied accurate information to the insurance company. They will even cover someone who has made previous claims ( against them or other insurance companies). The member that was covered by Grundy and recommended them to me, has re insured him and sold the wrecked car back to him. I don't think one can ask for more ( or better coverage and customer service) then that! I hope I never need to put hem to the test. but I feel as confident as I ever have with a new insurance carrier and have no reservations about recommending them to others. Sincerely, Hugh Boyd Casey P.S. Full disclosure , I have no financial interests in Grundy or any other insurance companies.

I just received my new policy from Grundy Insurance. Dennis Sanford a member of the Long Island POCA group recommended them after his pant era was totaled by hurricane Sandy. I had American Modern Home Ins Co, who it turns out are the underwriters for several other collector car Insurance companies (including Haggerty) When I called Haggerty and they asked me who i was currently insured with and I told them AMHI , they said "Hold on" They underwrite our policies so your premium will be the same. So I contacted Grundy. A I got my Liability raised from 100/ 300 to $500K single limit, raised the insured value of my car by 60% and my premium was virtually unchanged! All the other superfluous coverages are essentially the same. The premium for this level coverage with my A previous insurer ( as well as others I called) was double what I am paying (and was paying! So needless to say I am quite happy and would seriously recommend any one looking for a collector car policy ( or another high end coverage , like yachts, collectibles even High end daily drivers , they do it all! Thanks again for all the advice.

What started off as a simple brake system upgrade turned into an unending series of nightmares, as my new calipers wouldn't clear my stock wheels, the old calipers I was going to move to the rear wouldn't work with the existing rear discs, the new hard line kit I'd ordered didn't fit properly and I had to remake some of the lines myself, etc. etc. It's all come good though, and today Lori and I filled and bled the clutch and brake systems. Along the way, a few months ago I ordered brake cooling ducts from Cory Gehling at Collector's Choice: http://www.snakeoylproducts.com/product.php?productid=17530&cat=336&page=1 Cory originally had these molded for Porsche Cup race cars; they were getting so much brake heat that they were sizzling the front bearings. These molded scoops attach to the lower A-arm and capture air flowing underneath the car and direct it at the hubs and rotors. He has been a Pantera specialist for years, but of late he has concentrated on his Viper business. The kit in the link consists of a pair of molded plastic ducts, and a pair of aluminum mounting brackets designed to allow them to bolt easily to the Viper. When I got them, there were some generic instructions to adapt them to the Pantera, but I found that it required a lot of creativity. After much experimentation, I determined that the aluminum brackets were useless in the Pantera application, and discarded them. The outboard ends of the plastic ducts needed to be cut away to clear the rotors, and the inboard end needed to be heated up with a heat gun and bent to conform to the contour of the lower A-arms. A pair of holes were drilled in each A-arm to mount the ducts. (photo attached) The result, I think, should be quite effective. Given that a substantial percentage of the cost of this kit is wrapped up in the aluminum brackets, if you're interested in trying them out yourself, I'd urge you to negotiate a price for the ducts alone. I hope to be running a track day soon, and will report on their effectiveness as much as I can. Of course, considering that I will be running new calipers and rotors as well, it will be difficult to attribute success or failure to a specific component, but I figure they can't hurt!

They will not (as of a couple months ago) re-new my collector car insurance since I broke my neck (and various limbs) in a motorcycle accident. Two coyotes jumped in front of me at night on a mountain road - just don't get the connection. Maybe I am considered a "maniac" at 67. Otherwise I am (was) pleased with their prices/coverage.
