[DeTomaso] Fuel injection system and brakes question

[Stephen]

I switched over to MSD so I could get good cold-start and smooth idle.  OK, engine has a moderate cam, so as smooth as I could get.  I also wanted the MSD computer to control the ignition timing.  Except for the challenge of getting good guidance on which cam designation to use in setting up the MSD (use street - mild and large are really bad) the system performed as advertised.  

Not exactly sure how an MSD 4 bbl (as in 4 butterflies) would change the sound of the engine.  Rather than get into a p'ing match, let's just say I don't understand.

Brakes - I went with Pantera Perf suppled Wildwood, and kept the original rear brake calipers just for the e-brake service.  Given I don't drive my car at 99.99%, or at 70% either, I find the system very tractable and love the brakes.  Including the e-brake.

Just my thought.  If you want to talk some, give me a call.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Fuel injection system and brakes question

Now that I have a bit of time to try to resurrect my poor '73 Pantera, I would like to ask for recommendations/sources for the following:

1. Fuel injection system for a '73 Cleveland. Recommended model and sources, pitfalls in installation. Is there a write up anywhere from someone who did the conversion ?

2. Brake rebuild kit. Sources, pitfalls ?

Thanks,

Konrad
