Re: Gauge lighting
Hi Kerry, Looks good. LEDs are also available in various color temperatures. It's hard to tell in photos since most digital cameras automatically color correct as the picture is taken, but LEDs tend to be pretty cold (blue+ higher color temps). I like the warm glow of the gauge lights, so if given a...

Re: dual point timing, 330 with S85 Dist.
Hi John,
I figured you would have owned a Sun Machine!
Browbeating, and ribbing are very different things! I am always supportive of guys doing their own work with the knowledge of efficiency and pragmatism!
Carry on.

Re: dual point timing, 330 with S85 Dist.
Statically timing your points will get you in the ball park, but things change when the engine is running. I initially static time the ignition systems before I fire up an engine for the first time using a test light to determine exactly when the points open for a timing event on AF 10 to get in the...

Re: dual point timing, 330 with S85 Dist.
Hi Tom, Getting the points plates phased in correctly is crucial. A couple of degrees either way will amplify as engine speed increases. Ferraris build the most power above 3-4K and you can imagine how much power is lost when half the cylinders are firing behind or ahead of the others. With four set...

Re: Bonnet Question
So, if you have both the "snail" springs and the prop, and your hood does not stay up w/o the prop... is there a fix? Thanks. john I was just talking to Ed this weekend about questions that no one answers, and this might be one of them! I've never tried disassembling one of these. They are probably...

Re: Bonnet Question
I've learned not to be definitive with Ferrari, but I can safely say that GTEs have two coil springs wound like a snail on both lower corners of the hood that should have enough tension to hold the hood up. The prop rod is to hold the hood up as a supplement. SI 330s have a similar set up, but SII 3...

Re: Fuel line clamps on 330 GTC
If you're going to use black rubber hose, I would highly recommend using some high quality hose instead of the cheap stuff from the auto parts store. Some of the hose, especially out back by the fuel pump, can see some high heat from the mufflers, and you risk a fire when the hose gets hot. The chea...

Re: 330 GT grille
Hi Clint, 1200 grit? You may want to go to 2400. You may still see fine scratches in the aluminum after polishing if the sanding process is too coarse. Buff one piece and see how it looks. Wear a good dust mask that seals to your face. That particulate matter from the buffing is not good for your lu...

Re: Finish of External water pipes on a 250 GTE?
Hi Christopher,
I believe several suppliers have these, some of them made in original steel, while others have made them in stainless steel. The biggest thing to check it the heater hose orientation. I think GTO has them.
