[DeTomaso] Black Parts Book

[Mike Drew]

Larry,

That parts book was made by Fred Fossett, who was the De Tomaso parts distributor to all the vendors before Wilkinson took over in the late 1980s....

He made up his own parts numbering scheme which is a pain in the ass today, because it is different from both the Ford and De Tomaso schemes. This each part has three numbers which can get confusing....
