Dear Pantera brothers, I bought #3331 18 years ago (as I’ve posted on here) and she’s been doing great. She was becoming hard to start a few weeks ago so I figured it was time for a tuneup. I’ve only put 20,000 miles on and this is the third time I give her a tuneup. She has a restored original engine when I bought her and has dual point ignition with a 650 cfm Edelbrock. When I bought her I did the dwell and gap adjustment and determined they needed a 0.019” gap. She’s run great all these...Read More...

Just bought this “Ferrero” steering wheel and hub from a guy in Italy is it a fake/replica?. 12 1/2 inches in diameter, aluminum spokes and hub, pcd is 63mm, plastic wrapped,no stitching. with a pcd of 63mm I find no hubs that work, all are 70 or 75mm at this time I have the stock capri wheel on a 71 pb therefore I plan to use the lower section of the stock column as I know it fits the splines and make a round plate to be welded to the top of the column. this plate will be drilled and tapped...Read More...

Yesterday short ride, a clicking noise appears then gets louder but is not continuous, sometimes very loud, sometimes nothing. I came home back slowly and today I found a valve with 0.5 mm (0.02'') clearance and another with 2.4 mm (3/32''). The adjustment nuts were not loose, the rockers are in perfect condition and I suspect the needle bearing of the lifters. What do you think? I bought the lifters at BULLET RACING but they are MOREL.Read More...

Looking for help on a 351C mild build. Not a Pantera but I've read this place is the place to be for good info. I have a '73 351C 2V that I need more power out of. On a budget and looking for best options. It has an Edelbrock 4 barrel manifold with an Edelbrock AVS 625 carb on it. I'm thinking add headers and cam something like Cobra Jet specs, 270/290 .480/490 lift. Maybe a bigger carb? I want to keep the two barrel heads and just looking for some get up and go. thanx for any help!Read More...

A couple weeks ago I found the Jehle Deauville, in what seemed to have been its Tomb over the last couple decades. As there seem to be very little activity around the Longchamps and Deuville around the web, I figured a "project thread" could serve a purpose. It's also nice to have a log of what has been done to the car. The car was posted on the local classifieds site (Finn.no), only a few miles of where I live. Having never owned anything Italian, and hardly ever seen a De Tomaso, natural...Read More...

Can anyone provide a photo of an original piston from a closed chamber, high compression Pantera Cleveland?Read More...

Call me stupid, but my car ran great and for no particularly good reason I added a can of octane booster during the fill-up a few days ago. Now the car runs poorly and backfires a lot unless I keep my foot real steady, not too much gas, not too little. The motor is fed by Webers. I am assuming that the extra octane requires different timing. What can I do to get past this tank of gas? TomRead More...

I purchased a pair of window switches from Wylkinsona few weeks ago, apart from not being aesthetically identical to the original ones, they are of poor quality. Of the two there was one that didn't work and Wylkinson sent one back to me; the second one starts not working every time even though I have only activated it about ten times. I learned today thanks to the WhatsApp discussion group "Pantera French Connection" that Bosch still markets switches for old BMWs which have an identical...Read More...

Recently I had the opportunity to run the car on a track at the AZPOCA INDE Track Day. We put the car together back in 2017 and it has been driven sparingly but have finally decided it's time to run it a bit. After a few laps it started to develop a noise coming out of the rear of the car. Strangely the noise only could be heard during the turns (both right and left) but nothing could be heard when running light or hard in a straight line. The volume of the noise started low and stayed low...Read More...

This is the project Pantera that I received in February. I am trial fitting the engine and it looks like it will go in just fine. At first I was thinking I might need to pull the alternator but now it seems unnecessary. Today I am hoping to sort out all of the EFI harness routing and connections to the engine.Read More...

I would like to take some detail pics and try doing vids, BUT the temptation to just DRIVE overcomes. 5177 is now stored in a different building rather than the shed it stayed in 20+ years. I added a centering line and delineators to help keep me straight. open the rollup and fire it up, walk the exit to ensure it is clear back off the concrete pad and into the yard. did show, but I have to angle due to transition and spoiler draggging. down the long dusty path to the paved road. head into...Read More...

Hi, foreign to me. Does anyone know what this is or was for? Seems original from the factory as the rivets holding it are under the vinyl. Questioning, as I'm in the process of reupholstering the dash, if I have to keep it. Thanks, JochenRead More...

All: Went out today to drive the car this morning. Up until today, there have been no issues with the car. Starts, charges, all normal. Battery is on a BatteryTender at all times when not driving. Last time car was driven was the day before. Car starts and warms up fine. I immediately notice once RPMs get about 2500, the ammeter is on full charge (+ 80 amp side of gauge). Note, I have a VDO ammeter that I installed many years ago in place of the original meter that Lance Nist had installed...Read More...
