[DeTomaso] Dampener

[pantera007]

I *think* the pulley is actually Pantera specific, due to the diameter.
(The bolt pattern is also not common to 100’s of model cars.)

But Dan Jones, Jack DeRyke etc
 should answer this one.

      Other that 4 bolt and 28 oz, what makes a damper "Pantera specific"?  Does
the Summit Damper work:

I heard there was a problem with the Summit damper, does anyone, does anyone know
what it is?

      Or the Fluidamper:

I know someone with a Pantera-specific dampner. I saw it at a PCNC swap
meet a few years ago.
Guido Sanford, I believe. He still lurks on the list.

It's NOS, still in the FORD box. I don't know how much he wants for it.

I prefer a stock-type damper. But over the years, Ford used at least 5
different harmonic balancers on the 351C, all varying in the damper ring
width and
of course, weight. The lightest I found is 9lbs 1-1/2oz while the heaviest
is
10lbs 9-1/2 oz; quite a variation. The Boss damper was the only one in which
the outer ring & inner hub were chemically bonded; all others were simply
pressed together so no big surprise they slip after 35 yrs of abuse. FWIW,
there are
shops that will rebond your stock damper for a fee of about $100. One is
in Redding CA, but they will not absolutely guarantee a
rebuild to stay bonded in continuous duty above 5500 rpms, so if
long-distance
racing or 7500 rpm blasts are in your mind, go with an aftermarket unit, or
modify
a bonded one for positive retention. And be careful to not choose a late
model
damper that uses a 3-bolt pulley or you're going to have to redrill your
stock Pantera-only 4-bolt crank pulley. Good luck- J DeRyke
