[DeTomaso] top 10 performance upgrades

[MyCars]

- get a long throw clutch slave.
- pop off your valve covers and check to see what kind of rockers you
have. If they are stamped rockers, upgrading to roller rockers will give
you a little HP boost, but more importantly it will drop your head
temperature considerably.
- the Armando Oil Pan, there is currently a group buy going on
- check the shift linkage trunnion for wear
- check the ZF for safety wiring
- check the thermostat, make sure that it is the proper one for the 351C
- get self locking half shaft nuts and new bolts (for all 16)
- if you are going to do any racing, get 2 heater shut-off valves
- orbital gel cell battery
- clean your fuse panel, just about everyone of my connections were
'resistive'. Copper paste will keep the connections clean and rust free
after you have cleaned them with something abraisive. NOTE: disconnect
battery before cleanning

This may be obvious, but I'm sure many have overlooked... blead and
change your:
   - brake fluid
   - hydraulic clutch fluid
   - power steering fluid (no you don't have that installed on your
car!)
