This is on my Pantera project that I received in February. The engine is rebuilt, mostly assembled, the heads are installed, and it has not been fired. The intake valve in cylinder #1 is not seating. Perhaps there is some debris that is keeping it from sealing. The engine is out of the car. I am thinking of pulling the spring and spinning the valve with a drill in an effort to clear any debris that might be in the seat. All of the other intake valves are sealing. Any ideas and insight that...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...

I have been a member for a few years now, but haven't shared by journey with my 1972 Pre-L Pantera #3648, and I thought I would start sharing this journey. Bought #3638 in Nov. 1987, drove until 1995 because of a accident with the paint on the car. I walked away until June 2019, and decided I needed to sale it or fix it. So I decide to fix it. After sitting for 25 years, as you know everything rots. So I started my journey in a Mechanical Restoration. I will start sharing pictures of this...Read More...

Hi everyone, after getting to drive a bit more, I find it increasingly annoying that my car has a "dead spot" around the center. If you hold the wheel straight, it drives straight. But if you want to change directions, you need to turn the wheel more than it should be necessary in my opinion, to make it start changing direction. After that "dead spot" everything is fine, no excessive play or resistances (it had that before changing the u-joints). The car has a replacement rack from Hall, new...Read More...

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...

I commissioned someone to run some computer simulations on it for me . A video of the Pantera aerodynamics in different configurations with explanations will be put on YouTube in the next few weeks. here are a couple still pictures obviously, computer simulation are not as precise as a real wind tunnel, but it gives us an idea…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...

Hi all, I will be 'home' for a few weeks in the Christmas New Year period and I am wondering if there are any De Tomasos within a 200 km radius of Ballarat and if I could drop past and say Hi and discuss the state of De Tomasos in Aus. PM me. Cheers, Tim.Read More...

Ok, an invitation for anyone who needs something to do , has anyone taken measurements of the Mangusta skid plate? I believe whether DeT made these is forever a mystery, but this design seems to pop-up on different continents...dang me for not spending 10 minutes to measure 8ma1046 when I had it on the lawn, has anybody else? I have a friend with a plasma cutter hobby..Read More...

I need help and opinions on seats....I just installed some cobra seats, and although they look great and are comfortable, the sit too high on the stock floor pan. So, I am looking at the Recaro expert M seats, and would like to know if anyone has had experience with them as far as fit and seat height. Now the opinion part...I of course was looking at the black leather,but the also have a houndstooth option,looks at the pics, let me know what you guys think.SHOULD the be installed in a...Read More...

I know this topic has already been addressed multiple times, but most of the posts are quite old and I am looking for the latest developments on what is the best gear reduction, high torque, heat resistant starter on the market for Panteras. When cold, she fires right up. When hot, she won't turn over. I have the Pre-L high compression, closed chamber motor. I've already wrapped the starter, run a thick new ground directly from the battery, and backed off the initial advance from 17 degrees...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...
