Rocky,

THANKS!!! That is good to know! The clamp thing is one of the many details that get slaughtered when you buy a car that has been driven and worked on by many mechanics!

The stock dipstick tubes in Mustangs etc also use that little clamp thing and the same hole! I think the alternator pivot bolt holds it in place as well! The clamp was normally spot welded in place.....not sure about Pantera version!

I'm still looking to see if this car got a set of closed chamber heads or not. One of the heads has a threaded insert in a rear hole that is not used on the front or rear of our cars....but may have been used on a regular car! So no matter how you mount that head on a Pantera, no reason to have put a thread insert in place!!???? Was this head on a "normal car" at one point in it's life?????

Fun stuff to try and figure out!

Next time I find a clamp in a junk yard that is loose from the dipstick, I may re-purpose it!!!

Cheers!
Steve
