[DeTomaso] Brake vacuum source

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Sorry, deleted Larry's original email with the link to the Youtube 
video, but...

What kind of -crap- was that guy talking about in the video?  Larry, I'd 
hunt that guy down and kick his ever living ass!

I have -never- heard anyone talk about stock Pantera brakes being so bad 
that they sounded dangerous from the factory.  I've run my Pantera at 
open track events, working the brakes hard, and even harder and never 
had an issue... and I'm running stock calipers, stock master and stock 
vacuum booster.  His "testimony" just to sell his booster product is 
like listening to Ralph Nader talk about Corvairs.  And to show how much 
he knows about Panteras, he say all you have to do is hook up his 
product to the power steering pump.

It is... to laugh.

Yes, your car looked awesome in the video, but the crap he spews makes 
it look like a death trap and seriously puts a huge tarnish on the 
reputation of Panteras.

Hunt him down and kick his ass!

> I don't expect that your new engine is so radical that you need a vacuum pump. You should have plenty of vacuum for your power brakes.  Incorporating an electric vacuum pump may be adding unnecessary complexity to your car.  What carburetor are you using?  Is it a Holley?
> Holley Avenger carburetor's have a vacuum port for power brake vacuum that comes off the base of the carb.  See the attached image I just copied from the Holley Avenger instruction manual.
