Just drive and enjoy it! There are no EFI challenges with your car. So it runs a little rich. I haven't seen a Pantera with a 351C that doesn't run rich. Drive it and enjoy it!

Oh, and don't drive it around without the air cleaners!!!! You'll learn that air racing over the Pantera and the opening at the front of the decklid over the engine compartment creates a vacuum effect and will suck rocks and gravel right off the road and up into your engine compartment! I've never had an offroad excursion in my car, but am always amazed at the gravel, rocks and miscellaneous crap I find atop my frame rails, as well as all the crap that ends up on top of my engine! I just blew it all off with compressed air before removing my carb and intake manifold to look for that carb stud that got sucked down into the engine - and believe me, you don't want that to happen! If you thought finding the remnants of a roller rocker bearing seizing your oil pump was frustrating and costly, try swallowing something (a bolt, nut, stone, acorn, etc.) down one of the throttle bodies into the engine! Now you're talking expensive and frustrating!

Just sayin...
