[TPR] 4 things silently killing your classic

Tue Feb 11 04:36:38 PST 2025

Right On!!
When 'One Second After' the emp occurs:
Only thing gonna run is something with the vintage of a Pantera!!

Of course:
I bet even that's suspect to work.  Given the electronic ignition & electronic fuel injecton!!
Upgrades to new tech can bite you in arse!!

My modern vehicles....nothing will work save the cigarette lighters!
But two out of three new ones: don't even have that accessory port!!

Guilty as charged....I have had my Pantera in the dry dock for months now....other then 1999 when we rebuilt her this is the longest time (9 months) she has mostly sat ignored.
I miss her!

Will see how angry she is on my not giving her attention in March when I get her up to you in Spokane for an annual and you give me the "good news / bad news" dignosis.
haha.
