I fixed the cooling problem. Thanks for all the help/advice. My '74 has a Holley carb, Edelbrock intake, mild cam (don't know what type), headers, and electronic ignition (don't know what type). The car seems to miss a bit when I accelerate hard and it�s also hard to start sometimes when warm (starter turns fine but doesn't fire - stumbles a bit). I think it needs a tune-up. Do you guys agree? What would be the timing setting for this type of set-up? Any recommendations on plug type, wires, and cap & rotor. Figured I�d just replace what�s there unless you folks have other recommendations. Thanks for all the help. This board is great!!

Your stock starter is now 32 years old, and the Pantera absolutely requires a second ground cable between a bare spot on the frame and a bolt on the transaxle. I personally recommend some type of modern gear-drive starter and wire-brush cleaning of bolt surfaces under both ends of the second ground cable for good starting. You may have other problems; this is basic to ANY 351-C in a Pantera IMHO.
