Reply to "Smog Problem"

OK, first question. The seat adjustment is due to the rubber-on-steel seat rollers being flat-spotted due to 30+ years of age. To fix: remove the seats & rails (metric allen wrench). Remove the rails. Dump out the seat rollers & replace with nylon. PPC-Reno has these chap little guys in stock. When rearttaching the rails, be VERY sure the floor is not bent or twisted. If the rails don't lay flat, the bind when they're tightened down will prevent the seat from sliding. A biggish hammer will fix the twisted floor if you have such.
Second, the window up/down can be either a bad switch or relay, or a broken gear in the window drive (more likely). The removal of the whole mechanism is trickey; if the nylon/steel gear is cracked, there are bronze replacements available that last forever. The same gear is also used in the headlight erection mechanism, so realistically, you need three replacement gears.
Problems with the lights are often due to bad ground wires at the individual light, or at the central ground stud behind the dash, just above the tach. Remove, wire-brush the connectors & body, then retighten
The Smog may be a little more complicated; it appears the carb is excessively rich at higher rpms. What carb is on there? You may not know this, but the DeTomaso Pantera is THE MOST messed-with sports car in history, so your new ride may literally have anything in it including a "racing" unit (which will likely not ever pass Smog tests). For the rest of your problems, please e-mail me at jderyke@aolcom, or phone 775-267-3907 anytime. If you're in the north Nevada area, theres a club tech session coming up in Reno in early March where we as a group can straighten out ALL these problems. Cheer up- we'll get it all fixed!
