A few weeks ago I attended a Supercar event in Northern Spain. There was an amazing collection of cars - including a Koenigsegg Agera S from England, bunches of Ferraris and Lambos, McLaren, etc. As usual, one lone DeTomaso waving the flag. Had a fantastic time - a police escort with probably 30 motorcycles and a dozen cars that shut down the city allowing us to leave, and stop traffic along the entire 2 hour tour to keep the group together and protect us from pesky speed traps. Here's a video of the first few cars leaving - the highlight is about 45 seconds into the video - I guess my foot slipped a little on the clutch. I'll try not to let it happen again. Kidding aside, what is the best sounding car there in your opinion? There's a lot of expensive hardware present, but the Pantera still sounds pretty good imho https://youtu.be/c7K85DLAelw A few weeks ago I attended a Supercar event in Northern Spain.

IIRC he was in a head on collision with an oncoming driver making a left turn across his lane. It was when driving it home from the Norwegian port where he had the car shipped from the US after his purchase.

Hooking an MSD 6AL Rev Limiter to disengage the A/C Compressor
by Garth Rodericks 13 Jun '16

Agreed! Get the Pantera Electronics EIS and it will cut off the AC whenever you romp on it so you get those ponies back and working where you need them most. And add a trinary switch to protect your AC system. --- Original Message --- You could also use the Pantera Electronics ignition system. A/C cutoff controlled and monitored by vacuum rather than rpm with many other features built in.. Trickle charger, ignition retard during start, electric fuel pump control - low rpm setting + cutoff if engine is no longer running, etc etc.. http://www.pantera-electronics.com/eis.htm Agreed!

Oil Leak. Need some suggesions
by Himes, Terry (397C) 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Good Morgan to POCA list, I have about 5k on my engine rebuild. It has been running perfectly! I attended the Los Wages Fun Rally and the drive there early Thursday morning was great! Did Mt Charleston on Saturday and Valley of Fire on Sunday. No problems and things still running great. Sunday I did notice my oil gauge being a little wiggy. Jumping around sometimes and sometime showing solid pressure. Sunday I filled up and checked the oil before heading back. I added a quart and the gauge read solid 70. Overfill?? Drove back to Pasadena late Sunday night. Cool air and the traffic was light. Engine purred like a kitten. I haven't driven it since then and last week saw a small coaster-size pool of oil under the car. I am planning to getting it up on ramps this next week and check where I might have a problem. Any suggestions on what things to check first? Oil pressure sending unit? Thanks. More after I get under the car.

MaxJax 2-Post Portable Lift
by Dick Koch 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Now that Asa has added some positive and constructive thoughts on this forum, I would like to get some thoughts on a lift I am looking to buy to use in working on my Pantera (more like finally repairing it). http://www.asedeals.com/store/dannmar-portable-car-lift-maxjax/ The lift has been discussed many times on the forum. However, I would like to get some current information on folks that have installed the lift to work on their Pantera. As a reference, I have a two car, one double wide door garage that will not accommodate a full height fixed installation lift, or 4 post lift. Questions/Recommendations 1 - quality issues, such as hydraulic fluid leakage. 2 - vendor response to any product issues. 3 - lift installation problems/techniques. 4 - installation tips that relate specifically to the Pantera, such as it's 40/60 weight distribution. 5 - post tilt under load 6 - distance between posts necessary to allow enough room to open doors to "comfortably" work on the interior. (Yeah, I know that is an oxymoron) 7 - accessory and additional modification recommendations 8 - recs on sources to buy the lift, or not to buy. Also, are there any other manufacturers to consider with a similar configuration? Thanks in advance for your input on a car related topic.

Shimms to make narrower shock absorber bushings fit between ears?
by Ken Green 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

I have new shock absorbers that came with bushings to wide to easily fit between the mount ears. I received a drawing from Joe Byre (thanks) that showed the ears to be 46 +- .5 mm, or about 1 and 13/16. The shock bushings are 1 and 7/8, 1/16 wider. While I could muscle them in and then tighten the bolts, the result is likely to cause early shock failure because the shocks cannot be so tight that they cannot slightly pivot, and being pinched between the ears may cause early failure (confirmed by the manufacturer). I also have a set of 1 and 7/16 bushings, so I could use 3/8 inches of washer, etc. and properly fill the gap. McMaster has oil embedded thrust bearings in 1/8 and 1/16 for a little over a buck, so only about $7 per shock, only about $30 total. This seems like a good solution, any comments? Ken I have new shock absorbers that came with bushings to wide to easily fit between the mount ears.
