[DeTomaso] New engine now air scoops

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

My bad about the left/right. I have a 71 without the external filler but
I know better, I miswrote. I didn't know we were talking about
Amerisport gills, I thought the standard ones were discussed.

I thought it was the gill on the -left- (or driver's) side that held the
gas fill. 

Just sayin'
