WARNING: IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH AN ELECTRONIC (MICROSOFT WORD) VERSION OF THIS CHECKLIST, DO NOT CHANGE THE FONT SIZE OF THE CHECKLIST TABLE TO A LARGER FONT (OR TO A WIDER STYLE FONT THAN “TIMES NEW ROMAN”). THE WORD TABLE'’S "CELLS" HAVE BEEN SET SO THAT THEY DO NOT CROSS OVER TO THE NEXT PAGE SO ALL INFO FOR A MAINTENANCE ITEM WILL APPEAR ON ONE PAGE (NOT PART ON ONE PAGE AND THE REST ON THE NEXT PAGE) FOR CONVENIENCE AND TO AVOID CONFUSION. IF THE FONT SIZE IS INCREASED, THE WORDS ON CELLS THAT CURRENTLY TAKE UP AN ENTIRE PAGE WILL "SPILL" OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE INTO NEVER-NEVER LAND AND WON'T BE VISIBLE OR PRINT OUT (THEY WILL REAPPEAR IF YOU DECREASE THE FONT, OR DELETE SOME TEXT ABOVE IT).

General Checklist Notes:
Note A: The references reviewed/incorporated into this checklist (e.g., see “References” listing above) are the ones that would be applicable to stock 1973 Panteras, or all stock Panteras in general. Any potential reference sources that would generally not apply to a 1973 Pantera were not reviewed/incorporated, such as the Dash-1 ZF Transaxle Manual, Owners Manuals for a “pre-L” or GT5-S Pantera, 1971 Ford Car Shop Manual, PI Magazine article on electronic fuel injection, etc. However, if a reviewed/incorporated reference source contained any maintenance related info in it that specifically did not apply to a 1973 Pantera, or my Pantera as currently modified (e.g., I have electronic ignition instead of points), it was still included on this checklist for completeness, but with a note that it doesn’t apply to a 1973 (or my specific) car or was placed in the “never” section as being not applicable (this will be useful if the car is remodified in the future, or to apply to a different Pantera, to where those maintenance items become applicable again, as the info could easily be transferred into the main checklist sections). Also, some references were used for this checklist that wouldn’t apply to a “stock” Pantera, but apply to my car due to modifications (e.g., Holley carb owners manual info, Cibie Z-Beam Quartz headlight instructions info, Viper burglar alarm manual info, etc). See also the info in the “Key” section above about green italic text.
Note B: Source (e.g., reference) of each piece of info on this checklist is indicated in “[ ]” after the info. If there are multiple references dealing with the same entry, the references are generally listed in order from the most respected to the least respected (i.e., Manufacturer Publications like Ford OM, FTI, TSB, PSH, and Other Manufacturer Publications like ZF; then Pantera Clubs Official Publications like PITI, POTI, PI NL/MAG, POCA NL/MAG; then Other Sources like MECH, WEB, PBN). References to non-technical documents such as the PI and POCA Nl/MAGs and WEB are only included if their info is new or different from info contained in the official technical documents (i.e., Manufacturer publications and PITI/POTI) – e.g., if a PI Magazine article contains similar info to info already contained in a FTI then the PI Magazine is not included/referenced. See Note C below with respect to “duplicate” PITIs and POTIs. A handful of PITI’s were inadvertently mis-numbered when originally published to have identical numbers to other PITI’s (i.e., Group 11 Article #4, Group 26 Article #1, Group 35 Article #4, and Group 35 Article #8) – if these are referenced their title or date are also included to avoid confusion (note due to mis-numbering there is no PITI Group 26 Article #2 or Group 52 Article #3). See Note H below with respect to “imbedded” source references.
Note C: Some PITI’s (and one POTI) were essentially word for word duplicates of information contained in certain Ford Publications (i.e. FTI and PSH, and to a lesser extent the OM) that were created at a time when the general public didn’t have access to the Ford publications. Since these contain no new/different information, the duplicated PITI and POTI articles are not listed in the indicated sources of info (see note B above) on this checklist to save space (references are made only to the official Ford publications instead). These “duplicate” PITI and POCA Articles are as follows (with the Ford publication they duplicate information from indicated in parenthesis after it): PITI Group 10 Article #1 (FTI Group 10 Part 00); PITI Group 10 Article #9 (PSH Section I); PITI Group 11 Article #5 (FTI Group 11 Part 02); PITI Group 11 Article #6 (FTI Group 11 Part 10); PITI Group 11 Article #7 (FTI Group 11 Part 11); PITI Group 12 Article #5 (PSH Section VIII); PITI Group 12 Article #6 (PSH Section VIII); PITI Group 12 Article #7 (PSH Section VIII); PITI Group 12 Article #8 (PSH Section VIII); PITI Group 13 Article #1 (PSH Section VII, but the PITI has some additional original material at the end which is referenced on this checklist)); PITI Group 13 Article #2 (PSH Section VII); PITI Group 13 Article #4 (FTI Group 13 Part 01); PITI Group 13 Article #5 (FTI Group 13 Part 01); PITI Group 13 Article #6 (FTI Group 13 Part 01); PITI Group 15 Article #4 (FTI Group 15 Part 06); PITI Group 16 Article #13 (FTI Group 16 Part 02); PITI Group 16 Article #14 (FTI Group 16 Part 10); PITI Group 16 Article #15 (FTI Group 16 Part 02); PITI Group 16 Article #16 (FTI Group 16 Part 10); PITI Group 21 Article #5 (PSH Section IV); PITI Group 21 Article #6 (FTI Group 21 Part 22); PITI Group 24 Article #8 (FTI Group 24 Part 41); PITI Group 24 Article #9 (FTI Group 24 Part 21); PITI Group 24 Article #10 (FTI Group 24 Part 21); PITI Group 24 Article #11 (FTI Group 24 Part 51); PITI Group 24 Article #12 (FTI Group 24 Part 21); PITI Group 26 Article #3 (FTI Group 26 Part 01); PITI Group 26 Article #4 (FTI Group 26 Part 22); PITI Group 27 Article #11 (PSH Section III); PITI Group 27 Article #15 (FTI Group 27 Part 01); PITI Group 27 Article #16 (FTI Group 27 Part 01); PITI Group 28 Article #3 (FTI Group 28 Parts 01 & 02); PITI Group 28 Article #4 (FTI Group 28 Part 02); PITI Group 28 Article #5 (FTI Group 28 Part 02); PITI Group 31 Article #2 (FTI Group 31 Part 01); PITI Group 31 Article #3 (FTI Group 31 Part 02); PITI Group 31 Article #4 (FTI Group 31 Part 40); PITI Group 32 Article #3 (FTI Group 32 Part 02); PITI Group 32 Article #4 (FTI Group 32 Part 02 & 40); PITI Group 34 Article #4 (FTI Group 34 Part 30, but the PITI has some additional original material); PITI Group 35 Article #9 (FTI Group 35 Part 40); PITI Group 41 Article #4 (FTI Group 41 Part 01); PITI Group 44 Article #3 (FTI Group 44 Part 01); PITI Group 44 Article #4 (FTI Group 44 Part 06); PITI Group 45 Article #4 (FTI Group 45 Part 03); PITI Group 45 Article #5 (FTI Group 45 Part 61); PITI Group 46 Article #2 (FTI Group 46 Part 01); PITI Group 52 Article #4 (FTI Group 52 Part 00); PITI Group 53 Article #2 (OM Section “Body Maintenance”); PITI Group 53 Article #3 (FTI Group 53 Part 05); PITI Group 53 Article #4 (FTI Group 53 Part 04); PITI Group 53 Article #5 (FTI Group 53 Parts 01 & 02 & 03); POTI Group 13 “Steering System Accessibility” (PSH Section VII).
Note D: This checklist only includes info contained in the listed references that directly deals with maintenance/inspection items, NOT other related information in those references such as how to “repair” or “overhaul” stuff (e.g., disassembly/assembly, removal/installation, troubleshooting/diagnosis, cleaning, etc) if the maintenance/inspection item determines something is not in proper working order. For example, info on how to replace the clutch master cylinder, how to rebuild/overhaul the distributor, or how to diagnose a malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system is not included. Exception: Those removal/installation and normal adjustment/cleaning/etc. operations that need or might be needed to be performed as part of the routine maintenance listed on this checklist are included (e.g., removing/installing spark plugs during the spark plug check, changing brake pads when they eventually wear out, removing wheels in order to repack the front wheel bearings, adjusting carburetor fuel mixture, etc.). Therefore, if the results of performing a maintenance/inspection item on this checklist reveals that a repair of some sort is needed, be aware that there are repair etc. related procedures/info in the above reference documents (as well as info/description of how the system/component works and what it consists of) that are not indicated on this checklist. No attempt was made to include any “repair” item references (i.e., things that don’t get maintenance, but are just fixed when/if they break).
Note E: This checklist does not list/reference any “non-routine” maintenance/inspection (or checks/tests/cleaning/etc) type stuff contained in the listed references that is performed only as part of repair/overhaul/troubleshooting/testing/etc if problems are found during the performance of the main “routine” maintenance item (as per note D above).
Note F: The checklist attempts to list each maintenance operation in separate entries (rows), unless it is actually the same specific item phrased differently in different references, even though there may be other related entries dealing with the same system/component (i.e., several different maintenance/inspection items, even though they may be on the same specific component, are not consolidated into a single table entry – see notes 8 and 9). More than one maintenance operation is listed on a single entry only in those cases where they are very closely related and normally performed at the same time and don’t warrant separate entries (which would contain largely redundant info), such as “washing the car” and “polishing the car”. In those cases where more than one maintenance operation is listed in a single entry (row), then the info related to each sub-operation is “grouped” together within the row where possible to make finding info related to each sub-operation easier (Exceptions: Maintenance/Inspection column info is grouped by reference source since the references typically cover all the related sub-operations; and the “Notes” column). In addition, the row entries in the “Materials/Specifications Info” and “Name Brand Parts/Products To Use” columns also have sub-headings to group and help quickly locate the various specs/parts info.
Note G: Asterisks (*) are used to refer to other info on the same ROW only, not elsewhere on the checklist.
Note H: The "imbedded" source documents attached at the end of the checklist (can be viewed/printed by double clicking on them), which are referenced in various places on this checklist, are for cases where it isn’t practical to just reference them only (i.e., stuff not in the standard Pantera reference books listed in the “References” listing above that I normally keep in the car (i.e., FTI, OM, PITI, POTI, PSH, TSB, and ZF), and thus wouldn’t be handy when performing maintenance), such as an entire web page on how to check for rust/corrosion (with diagrams), etc. The appropriate/needed imbedded documents should be printed out each time a printout of this checklist is made in preparation to do maintenance. Commonly available source documents not kept in the car (such as PI and POCA magazines and newsletters articles) are only imbedded in this checklist if they contain additional information not specifically included on this checklist necessary for performing the maintenance operation (e.g., the detailed steps on “how” to do the operation, rather than just “what” need to do) – if the commonly available source document only contains info that is completely included on this checklist (e.g., “the timing chain needs to be replaced every 30,000 miles”, or a part number, or a specification that must be met, etc) or background info not necessary for performing the maintenance operation then it is only referenced (see Note B above) as being the source (so that the information on the checklist can be looked up/verified if desired), not “imbedded”. Source documents that are not commonly available or that may become unavailable in the future (e.g., WEB info) are imbedded even if they don’t contain any info not specifically included on this checklist, in order that the info on the checklist can be verified if desired.
Checklist Columns Notes:
Note 1: Priority codes are used to determine the most important entries to do at a given maintenance interval if time or money is limited. Priority code definitions are:
HIGH = Failure to perform the maintenance operation could result in safety hazard or severe equipment damage (i.e., must do). Ex: Checking wiper blade condition or checking engine oil level;
MEDIUM = Failure to perform the maintenance operation could result in loss of mobility/drivability of the car (i.e., should do). Ex: Check/replace spark plugs;
LOW = Failure to perform the maintenance operation could result in nuisance problem (i.e., optional). Ex: Lubricate the window glass mechanism;
VARIES = Entry involves multiple items that have different priority implications. Ex: Check electrical system.
Note 2: In order to reduce making duplicate or near duplicate entries whenever possible, and in view of hopefully indefinite lifetime/mileage limits, the frequency of maintenance entries is handled a little differently than those on typical maintenance lists (for instance the one in the owners manual) that show the maintenance by mileage milestones for a normal life expectancy of mileage/age on a car. The "5000 miles" section means to do that at EVERY 5000 miles interval on the odometer, not just the first 5000 miles. Similarly, the 10,000 mile entries are done everytime the mileage on the odometer is divisible by 10,000, and so on. Therefore, for instance if the odometer reads 65,000 miles, do all the 5000 miles stuff; when it reads 70,000 miles do all the 5000 AND 10,000 miles entries; when it reads 75,000 miles do all the 5000 and 15,000 (15,000 x 5 = 75,000) miles entries; when it reads 80,000 do all the 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 mile entries; when it reads 90,000 do all the 5000, 10,000, 15,000, and 30,000 mile entries; and so on.
Note 3: In those cases where the maintenance operation involves checking something at one interval and replacing it at another interval, in order to prevent having 2 almost identical entries, they are both listed at the earlier interval (e.g., 5000 miles) with a "*" note to do the other one at the longer interval (e.g. 10,000 miles), if both intervals were multiples of each other and thus the earlier item would be sure to be reviewed at either interval. However, there were a few cases where that couldn't be done, because the longer interval (e.g., 15,000 miles) wouldn't always be a multiple of the earlier interval (10,000 miles), and thus the earlier interval wouldn't necessarily get reviewed when the longer interval was due (e.g., it would if the odometer read 60,000 miles, but not when it read 75,000 miles) – in those cases separate entries were made in the different mileage sections.
Note 4: The mileage intervals listed on this checklist are normally the typical recommended mileage interval given in the references for that maintenance operation rounded UP to the nearest multiple of 5000 (4000 miles becomes 5000, 8000 becomes 10,000, 12,000 becomes 15,000, etc). This allows for easier tracking of when the maintenance operation is due via the odometer (will also have a mental trigger since will normally notice on the odometer when it turns over to a multiple of 5000, whereas a multiple of 4000 or 8000 doesn't stand out). The references recommended intervals for each entry are listed directly below my personal one for that entry which is identified by my initials as the source. Rounding up a little is probably acceptable, since the manufacturer recommendations are likely somewhat conservative, and also since products today (oil, filters, etc) have probably been improved so that they last longer than they did in the 1970’s. Along that same line, recommended intervals of 24,000 miles were rounded up to 30,000 (rather than 25,000), on the assumption that there is more leeway in performing the maintenance for a larger interval item than there would be for a 4000 mile recommendation item.
Note 5: In the cases where the references interval recommendations are for X miles or X months (e.g., 8000 miles or 8 months) whichever comes first, the checklist lists the maintenance operation item based on miles since I drive the car daily and am likely to put at least 10,000 miles on it a year and/or hit the mileage intervals before the monthly intervals. If change from using it as a daily driver or turn out not to drive it as much, treat the mileage interval sections as "months" instead (e.g., do the 5000 mile section entries every 5 months).
Note 6: Some recommended maintenance operation time intervals were rounded off (where it was judged to be acceptable from a maintenance risk standpoint), or picked where no recommended time interval was given, to coincide with the time interval for other existing maintenance operations to reduce the number of different maintenance intervals (e.g., recommendation to do something monthly listed in bi-monthly section instead).
Note 7: For those cases where various references give conflicting/different materials/specifications info (e.g., due to typo or other mistake, different opinions, changes/improvements to the info made over the years, different info for different model/year cars, etc.), the appropriate info to use for my car (i.e., latest/best info, info that applies to 1973 model year, etc.) is indicated in bold type.
Note 8: Name Brand Parts/Products to Use column entries are intended to be only for cases where I’ve determined what I feel is the “best” part/product to use (e.g., a specific brand of lube to use that exceeds the minimum requirements listed in the Materials/Specifications column, a car polish that independent tests have determined is the best one the market, a product I’ve used previously that gave good results, etc.). If the column is left blank, that means that I haven’t determined the best product to use yet, and can use anything that looks like it will be acceptable.
Note 9: SYSTEM/COMPONENT info (in all capital letters in that column) is cross references to maintenance operation or inspection items that are on the same system or component, even if the operation/inspection itself is completely unrelated (used for sorting maintenance/inspection items by thing they’re on). System/Component descriptions used are based on the standard Ford Group/Component Index Titles (e.g., as used in Ford Car Shop Manuals, FTI, etc) where possible (descriptions not based on the Ford Group/Component Index Titles list only a “system” without an associated component entry; e.g., “GARAGE” and “PAPERWORK”). The Checklist is sorted alphabetically by these within each frequency section.
Note 10: Checklist Entry Cross References (included in same column as system/component references discussed in Note F above, except listed in small letters), are cross references to other maintenance operations or inspection items that are related in some way besides just being on the same system or component (e.g., may be convenient to perform them at the same time).
