Can someone tell me the correct placement of the De Tomaso and Mangusta script on the engine cover? I have the scripts, but at some point a previous owner took them off and filled in the holes.Read More...

Here is a clutch slave cylinder bracket in stainless steel. The factory originals were done in ordinary mild steel and might corroded and bent after 50 years on the car. Very nice fabrication from five different pieces of metal. $120 plus $9 shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/297089152048Read More...

I have today a MSD Atomic EFI and a MSD Distributor in place. This runs very well together. With my new highly tuned stroker engine (614hp) a Holley 750cfm 4150hp is foreseen. Now I think about applying the Atomic EFI but with a fuel pump upgrade. This should support engines up to 625hp. So all good. However I realised now that my camshaft is over the suitable limit of max 250 at .050“ duration with 253/261. The MSD tech support said not a good idea to go higher than 250. The setup is not...Read More...

It looks like I'm the first. My car came with an MSD 8350 with the vacuum advanced locked out (for some reason - not that the car was ever tuned or dyno'd). I like vacuum advance and was going to put it back in but, as I did some research, I ran across these guys: https://progressionignition.com/ They seem to be a new player but this seems WAY better than fighting with advance springs, stop posts and vacuum valves. Looks pretty impressive! https://www.youtube.com/embed/neiyDK0wQRM AND now I...Read More...

Hello, I want to apply the Ornament, external fuel filler with my 72. It seems that stocks are rare. Does anyone have an idea where to source the part #09038A please? Additionally, any advice for doing the conversion is appreciated. Thanks FrankRead More...

As long as I'm in a question mode, here is another issue. A few years ago, in a stupid attempt to stay ahead of things, I decided to replace all bushings with the newer synthetic version. Not long after the installation the suspension stated sounding like it hadn't been greased in years. It was embarrassing!! so I re installed them, this time with more grease. It made things better for a while but eventually they started squeaking again, especially after driving for a while and heating them...Read More...

Have a bearing just starting to fail. I replaced these @10k ago. Lube was leaking out and a very small amount of play. Inner bearing bad. Guess I will go with the wider inner bearing this time. Axles have been replaced before. Preferred bearing brand ? NTN brand has failed. Also I don't have the bearing shield, been without it for years. Get them or not ?Read More...

It’s been over a year that I’m working on my Pantera and quite some of the parts are from some other cars and it takes a lot of digging to find where the part came from and some information gets lost again down the road… So I thought maybe we should just make one threat Where everybody can post what they found where stuff comes from which makes it much much easier to find it again if it needs to be replaced.. just put down what you know… It will be a big help for a lot of people… if you’re...Read More...

After owning my car for 43 years I've accumulated a great deal of everything Pantera. In sorting through many papers, I ran across something called Pantera Owners Club of America Parts Exchange with a list of parts that must be shared with other cars. For example, Steering Column - 1971-1972 Mercury Capri. It includes model numbers for both. The list has 9 items, some match Volvo some Alfa Romero, most Mercury Capri. There is no telling how old this list is, and I may be missing pages. Is...Read More...

Hi to all, Currently working on making the hump smaller. I've looked at past threads and options for vinyl replacement. So far all of those options are not available anymore. I've asked a couple of vendors and they don't do anything with vinyl for interiors. Are there any new sources? Thanks again for all your help. KenRead More...

The dashboard on my 72 has the typical problem of the vinyl having pulled away from the hard shell. I see the fixes of adding a black metal bar to pull the vinyl back but prefer not to go that route. Just how much time and trouble is it to pull the dash out for a proper fix? Is there enough extra vinyl at the edge to make it work? If you've had your dash out, how long did it take you? FYI, I just replaced the bulbs in my gauges with LED lights. What a difference, you can actually see the...Read More...

When I purchased my steering wheel I was looking for a Detomaso horn button. Contacted one of our vendors but the Detomaso buttons came with the steering wheels he was selling and he didn’t have any extras. That was about 7 years ago. Now that the project is just about done, I started thinking about it again. Bell 3156 had one done by Adam at revlimiter which looked very nice so I had him make me one as well. PI Motorsports made one for me which looks like the buttons that came on the older...Read More...

I studied the attached oil pressure gage diagram and would like a clarification if you understand it. The way I understand it, it shows a pink wire coming from the fuse box, this must be power, and a pink and black wire heading to the sending unit. My sending unit has always had a black wire coming off the top. So I assume that this black wire is the same as the pink and black wire. Does that make sense? I don't want to fry the gage if it's not already badRead More...

Where can I find a tutorial or video on how to dismantle the front suspension on my 72 Pantera? Would like to see how it is done before I get to it. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.Read More...

I am offering a set of aftermarket wheels. These are 8" x 17" Front & 11" x 17 " Rear, for a narrow-bodied Pantera. Fitted are Michelin Pilot Sport in 245 Front & 335 Rear. This set came with my Pantera and was only mounted to move the car around the shop by the previous owner. According to forum members, these were made by Boyd Coddington. Have no need for them. Included a set of new lug nuts and the center emblems. Local pickup in Yardley, PA 19067. Asking $3500 PM me if interested.Read More...

this past week I was driving my Pantera with the small windows removed for better access to the engine. It made me realize just how loud my car is as the sound traveled through those windows. I have a particularly loud Hall system that has no mufflers but has four great looking resonators. It appears to me that the insides of those resonators have burned up. I can cut them open and maybe repack them but don't know how successful that can be. Do any of you have experience with this?Read More...
