Reply to "Pantera's and Carburetor Geometry"

It is amazing how there are so many little things like this that were corrected in later cars.

Not to pick on anyone or anyones car in particular. With a Detomaso there is always something that can be re-engineered and improved, so I'm not immune to that scenario?

I'm thinking that really anything before the L is introduced is almost like a pre-production car?

'71s are a great example of this.

However, what you say about the throttle is absolutely true. It isn't necessarily limited to just the Pantera though. The Mustangs need some help in that area too, and Ford made millions of them.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I'm sure there are still some Pantera owners unaware of this issue and just accepting it as "just the way it is", with no idea that it is a relatively easy correction to do?

As far as what Mikael says, yes, but be sure to put a positive pedal stop in or else you are going to twist up the throttle shaft on the carburetor trying to push the pedal to the floor.
