Reply to "Factory fitted Holley"

I didn't buy the replacement from DeTomaso... I pulled the stock carb off when I put new heads, intake, cam, etc on a few years back and sourced it from one of the Pantera vendors. It took a while to get the carb jetted properly for my application, and I ended up sending it to someone to sort out for me as I just couldn't get it to run right. He did a great job...

As far as DeTomaso and their options go, DeTomaso offered the "Sport" option on the late-model cars. As far as I can tell, this option consisted of a different intake and carb. Their sales brochures claimed 300hp for a stock Cleveland, and 350 for the Sport option.

I personally know of one individual who bought their car new from DeTomaso in 1989... He paid $4500 for the sport option, which he was told not only involved the intake and carb, but also different internals (cam, etc). and was supposed to be good for 400 hp. When he rebuilt the stock Windsor 3 years ago, he found a bone-stock interior... Stock truck camshaft, stock heads and springs, etc. We all know they played loose with their numbers...
