Hey, Chuck-
It seems I don’t log in often enough, but I guess it’s good news at this point. Congratulations on your Ferrari-istic (meaning very fast) recovery. It looks like driving your GTC is the perfect incentive…
All the best,
Michael

Steve- Did you get your trunk open yet? My car ('67 GTC sn 10007) definitely has a second trunk release cable. I have several pictures of mine—both inside the trunk when I had the fuel tanks out as well as where it ends behind the left rear inner quarter panel. I haven’t mastered Photobucket, but I’...

Andrew- Tom Kizer pretty much says it, except you want to turn the engine CLOCKWISE to the next cylinder in the firing order. As viewed from in front of the car, looking at the front of the engine. Though of course, when I refer to the “right bank” or “left bank”, that’s when you’re sitting in the d...

Congratulations on your Australia Adventure !!!
Go for it, Tom! I for one will look forward to reading about your experiences in Australia, whether Ferrari-related, traveling, or just(!) life. This may sound like heresy on this site, but your wife and daughter are far more important than any car or web site. Ummm. I just wish I lived close enough...

For what it’s worth, my experience with cam timing was highly rewarding if a little unorthodox. The marks on my cams most definitely do not line up when the cams are properly timed. The passenger side does, but the driver’s side does not. I pulled the valve covers off of my 330 GTC to adjust the val...

Hi, Matt- I'm not sure how welded and beat vs stamped panels makes a big difference in painting. What makes the difference is how much the prep guys have to sand inside contours or other tight places, like the headlight scoops on the GTC, or inside the hood trough (not sure of the terminology), or t...

Hi, Matt- In reference to Michael Sheehan and your distrust... I am a mechanic, and while I have never disassembled a Daytona for painting, I do know that similar jobs on dissimilar (or even fairly similar...) cars can be radically different. Much more than a 2 to 1 spread, depending on the job. Fro...

No, the near-sitter wasn't blonde. She'll have to come up with another excuse. (OOOOOOhhhhh--not PC!) I don't think it's a good idea to get started with mild electrical shocks for intruders, because I might have problems knowing when enough is enough. Meaning I wouldn't stop at mild... A sign mandat...

How do you keep people from sitting on your Ferrari?
How do you keep people from sitting on your Ferrari? Last Sunday I took my car to Sharon Meadows in Golden Gate Park for a small exotic car display to complement Comedy Day in the Park. Coordinated by Roland Au of the Ferrari Club of America, Pacific Region, it seemed like fun. As it turned out, it ...

Mr Ferrari- Great name! Anyway, I have a 67 330 GTC, and no, the air conditioning does not work. But it will! I rode in a similar car a few weeks ago that had working AC, and several people at the Concorso with GTC's told me that their AC worked. The components are pretty garden variety for the vint...

Hi, Joel- Beautiful pictures--thank you for posting them. It looks like you did a top notch rebuild. I am curious as to how (and why) you pulled the cylinder liners. I was under the impression that they were a very tight press fit (unlike an Alfa, which is a loose slip-fit) and were only pulled--wit...
