Hi Graham, Sounds like they're swapped. The water temp gauge on a 250 engine is on the back of the head by the left distributor, and the oil sender is down by the back of the sump under the car. Pick one of them, unplug the wire, and ground it to the chassis with the key on. The gauge it's connected...

Hi Christopher, I did not install the rear suspension on Tom W. White car, but am currently working on a blue GTE. I've heard cars that sit differently from side to side, but I don't know if that will change when the car settles. In my experience, the first time a suspension is installed when the sp...

Hi Christopher,

I always measure the belt or take a piece of string to the parts store to get the right belt when I don't have a number. With different pulley sizes one car can differ from the next.

Good luck!

I always want people to remember what happens on this site is easy compared to what the guys did before the Internet! As Dyke touched on, communication was a lot slower and more expensive. They even managed to publish a books that are still used by many of us today. As I get older, I think about leg...

Hi Guys,

I can only do what the customer wants. Leaving the clutch alone is risky, but if they are going to question the head gasket, the clutch is the least of our worries.

Hi Pete,

I have heard the horror stories and am worried as well. The owner is well aware of the stories and is willing to take on the risk. I've removed the asbestos from the brakes and the heat shield. Fingers crossed!

The landscape of the Internet has changed and there are a lot of distractions from social media and smart phones, but I like this corner of the Internet I've created for us to gather and share our experience. I do have a social media presence, but find it too temporary to share a lot pictures and st...

Hi Christopher, You're more than welcome. I have benefited from the generosity of my mentors and friends and only want to pay it forward. When I first started this website, there was very little information available on the internet, and I wanted to try and change that. I built a site where someone ...

Hi Pete, The hand made nature of Vintage Ferraris is a common challenge, but add to that body work done through the years, and the shape of these cars can change drastically. Checking contours with several other cars is only logical. When the 330GTC was made, the Pininfarina body builders were still...

Hi Chris,

The line next to the arrow is where the factory put its timing mark. The dot is someone else's mark.

Hmmmm, how does that switch come apart????

That's why I sent it to ODD Parts! I didn't want to F*ck it up.

Curious to see what you guys think about the 330 GTC currently being auctioned on Bring a Trailer. Seems like a good candidate for restoration. I’m unfortunately only allowed one Ferrari project at a time. I love/hate BaT. I love it because it brings some interesting cars to market, but I hate it b...

Hi John, According to Jim Simpson who took apart the switch, there is a pot on the switch that allows it to adjust when the circuit closes. When he tested the switch after cleaning the internal contacts, he found it to be working properly, so this one didn't need to be adjusted. I believe this one t...

Maybe everyone thought you cross posted on F-chat and didn't need an answer here.

(That was a dig!)

I think this hose is special and available.
