It’s called busy….

I have three Panteras in my garage and none of them are running.
I aim to fix that within the next three months.

1661 should be up and running before Christmas.

   I find this thread very interesting...
   The EFI story is a no brainer. I use 55mm throttle bodies on both the
   Pantera and the GT40.
   But to be different, I shall be using a Jim Ingelese modified Weber
   48IDA setup on the new race car engine.
   Vintage legal and Tom Upton says the new engine will do more than 650HP
   with a 4 bbl.
   Vintage legal all iron, exhaust port plates, etc.
   And the Webers are making everyone call me a `glutton for punishment'.
   Should be interesting.
   FWIW,
   Kirby
