Hi, I know there has been a few posts about the brake master cylinder and what but I'm still confused. I can change out this stuff but not an expert on the brake booster and MC. My front trunk has a red button that I've no idea what it's for? I also have the can which I believe is sued to increase vacuum but I don't see many Panteras with it. Many have mentioned getting a Wilwood MC but several different models seem to be recommended. I see stock we have numerous external Reservoirs but in...Read More...

After finishing the gas filler I had a few hours left in the day, I installed the overhauled Holley, added an 1” spacer for insulation! And then I went to work on the air filter…. I still have to make some clearancing for the dip stick tube but aside from that I should be able to reach ambient temperature air with a 4 inch tube… ( keep in mind I don’t build a race car.. ) but I’m sure the 4” diameter are enough to support the engine,! This was always a thing that just did rub me the wrong...Read More...

I started the adaptation of the Yaris servomotor and it looks pretty good, even if I still have a lot of work to do. So I bought a set of Yaris RHD, as advised by PanteraDoug and a steering column of Ford Capri: We can clearly see that the Pantera column is a shortened Capri column I first quickly made a temporary support to position the unmodified servomotor and check the space requirement. I only needed to cut a very small piece of about 1/4'' at the back of the support. I then cut the...Read More...

Anyone here have a newer Ron Davis radiator set up? I think one or both my fans are going out (blowing fuse and hearing high pitched noise at the fans). They said they don't have the same fans but would need to do a new fan and shroud assembly. Just wondeing what that looks like (here is mine, older model it seems). Some have suggested Spal fan replacement as a possibility too but not sure if it would be simple plug & play to match my current set up (one fan comes on later as it gets...Read More...

As my winter boredom sets in, I'm looking for more things to modify. Has anyone used a Wilwood clutch master? If so, which one, and did you have to change the slave? TIARead More...

New owner of #3619. I purchased it 08/24 from the second owner. It was driven very little for the last few years but she was always a driver. I have been a muscle car guy forever but the Panteras have always been special to me. I have been going through some things to update her for her next chapter. RaoulRead More...

Like you all have experienced, you are working on a specific project and the door panel is off, or the seat is out… you know there is something else that is staring you in the face.. 😳 it’s asking for your attention! So suck it up and do it… I suck a lot up… today I posted finishing the fresh air intake for the cabin and looking at the post it seems like … well, he puts a hose on today.. but as a working day goes, you come across a lot of things that 😳🤓🥹🥸🫣 look at you and ask to be...Read More...

Does the forum have any experience here. I am in favour of Stef‘s pan but it’s double the price of Aviaid. Even the Aviaid does not look as superbly finished as the Stef’s pan but due to the history of Aviaid they now how it should work.Read More...

Got a bunch of stuff for sale - cleaning out the garage... Buyer pays shipping. I try and use USPS Flat Rate when possible, this should give you an idea of SOME of the shipping costs. Not too excited about trying to ship overseas. Take a look at the list. If you think my price is too high, make me an offer with some rationale ("Hey, I can buy that blah blah from Hall for $xxx...") and we can talk. Thanks for looking. The link to the pictures no longer works (this is an old post), so let me...Read More...

OK, I'm trying a different method to hopefully get some actual help from someone else here as I look to learn. I was told to get this master cylinder for my car after upgrading my brakes to Wilwood's... but apparently it's the wrong one? https://www.wilwood.com/mastercylinders/mastercylinderprod?itemno=260-9439 I saw this it's same one listed on SACC's site, but maybe that's wrong too. I have the adapter from IPSCO for it. Here's what it looks like compared to what was on the car. If anyone...Read More...

There have been a number of calls for pictures of the TVR’s that the forum members own (or have owned in the past). On this board, up to this point, all of TVR owners / aficionados communicate with each other via private messages - it’s like a secret underground society. Maybe we could all come out of the closet, and post the pictures of the ones we’ve got! I will believe it as well known that Martin Lilley of TVR was the first one to come up with the brilliant idea of using naked women...Read More...

Welcome! I, at first had decided to leave this project Alone! Do I need another 'Temporary Hassle'?? Any Machinist 'worth his salt', can pull this work, off. But who has the drive to see it to completion? What will be the reward?....Hundreds of interested Pantera Owners, can Have a DIY Firewall, Minus the Ugly Bulge. Doug is responsible for Marlin, changing his Mind. I knew if I Was going to this, I was going into It Full-Bore! Some photos will start coming. The CONS: The Alternator must be...Read More...

Appreciate any help the fan blade or motor. I know now that the big radiator cooling motor is common with '68 Jag XKE. The early motor for the condenser fan is different yet from the 'small' radiator fan, but possibly the blade is common. Can anyone tell me if the blade looks like that used on Miura/Lambo http://www.miuraworkshop.com/Moplen%20fan%20blade.JPG ? These are still available new. Anyone know the motor maker ? Just were not that many electric fans in cars in the late 60's, the...Read More...

Just having some fun tonight and thought I'd share so this can take up your night too. X.com's AI called Grok (which may require a subscription) can make cartoon's out of photo's now. I attached a few (PS that's my friend on the ATV). Also it just doesn't change it. It interprets it. You sometimes have to edit and tell it to add or remove thingsRead More...

Coolant on driver-side floor of My 85 GT5, how is this happening? I have at last a quart of coolant on the floor, hard to trace. I was under the impression the pipes run under the car. Can it be a heater hose issue?Read More...

Gearheads united this morning at the #fuelfed meet featuring Italian makes. The usual suspects showed up with Ferraris, Alfas, Fiats as well as two Panteras of the same colour, 12 years apart. Nice crowd!Read More...

This is my first post here as I just aquired my father's 1972 Pre-L (#2725) after his death. Now on to my question. I've basically given up on 15" tires and have decided to move on to Campi Clones as the car has maintained it's "stock" appearance and I would like to continue that look. Question: Which tire-wheel combo will keep that 4" clearance that I love so much?Read More...

My standard procedure for newly acquired old vehicles is to change the fluids, and after reading about corroded synchros, etc on here I decided to get going on that. My Pantera Tech Info manual gave me false hope that I’d find a nice fill plug on top of the ZF unit but it seems that was long gone by 74 . . . only real snag was getting at the fill plug / overfill alert hole on the side. If it was a bolt head that would have been easy, but it seems the Germans love their recessed hex plugs (at...Read 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...
