[DeTomaso] Oil pan for a '73 Cleveland recommendations

I also bought a Kevco 13 years ago and it has been excellent.
When I talked to the lady there, who was family, she said their road 
race pans were descended from their the  circle track pans they'd been 
making forever. They'd just made the oil control work the same way for 
right turns.
I've given it some decent chances to show oil starvation and nada.

     Armando was an employee of Aviaid who fled to Texas and brought all

     I donat know about Kevko pans. They may have reverse-engineered an
     Aviaid pan as well? I hope they didnat copy Miloden.
     Miloden made a Pantera pan that was absolutely shameful. It was
     nothing but a 10-quart bucket with nothing inside. The first time I
     got to see the inside of one was when a connecting rod came flying
     out the side of Larry Stockas pan at the track in Vegas. He has
     bought the motor with the pan installed and from the outside it
     looked like an Aviaid. Only after it failed to do its job and oil

     No matter what pan you go with, you do NOT need a different dipstick
     arrangement. Your car should have a dipstick with a yellow handle
     and measure 38 inches from tip to cup. The dipstick controls the oil
     level relative to the bottom of the crankshaft. You could have Lake
     Michigan hanging under your car and would still want to retain that
     same top oil level.
