Automatic tire changers can and have broken alloy wheels in two. insist on a semi-auto tire machine where an operator must use a nickel's worth of skill. Also mention that replacement wheels are $250-400 each! They'll be careful..
Pantera wheel alignments can be done at any shop that does Corvettes or other full-independent suspension cars.
Ford reccomended adding a 12" long aux cable thru an extra hole in the toe-box. The end of the short cable hangs down just above the accelerator. Most Panteras were so equipped.
Don't worry about running a push-pull distributor. Your car will run fine and pass somg tests fine without it. All the thermo switch did was advance the spark when the engine overheated. Shutting it off to cool down, or fixing the problem once and for all, works better.
