Reply to "anyone have vintage engine compartment photos to share?"

<<No. It is a wonder that the scan came out this clear as it is.>> Oh, well- they are fantastic nonetheless. I think we all agree that vintage photos of Mangusta engine compartments are unbelievably scarce.

You are probably correct about gt350 , but 68-70 289s and 302s came with autolite radio resistance spark plug wires. Why am I concerned- well, I have totally incorrect accel gray wires on my car, and it deserves better. For my own satisfaction, I would like to return the car to reasonably "correct" condition where possible.

Can't drag photos from the website: http://www.provamo.com/login.asp. From another website, here is 1032 http://www.mangustainternation...1032/8ma1032-004.jpg and 982 http://www.mangustainternation...ma982/8ma982-003.jpg

Looking at all the cars, 1046, 1048, 1108 and 1126 all clearly show the spring mount for throttle on passenger side valve cover. Vast majority of cars do not have original valve covers anymore. Throttle links clearly on passenger side of 1078 and 1032. 982 has what appears to be "backwards" 4300 but couldn't really tell much else. I am becoming convinced that Lee's car's carb is correct, even though it seemed to surprise us.

Maybe for the later cars, once the 4300 appeared, DeTomaso just switched the orientation of the carb? My theory is the scan above is of an early car with a carb that can be mounted in the traditional direction (a 4100 carb presumably)
