>>>Jack--can you elaborate more about this?   I haven't poked around the 
front end of a Pantera for awhile, but I can't remember any extra wiring 
there, other than the fact that the radiator fans and lights are both grounded at 
the central ground lug under the dash.   This results in a bunch of long 
ground wires for no good reason.   Performance of those components can be 
improved by locally grounding them near the components.   Is this what you are 
referring to?

     One improvement that some forget is, there's about 10 extra feet of
     wiring around the headlights that can be removed. Makes the front
     harness smaller and more compact and forestalls problems, with no
     downside. I speculated the front harness came from some other car
     but never proven.
