Re: screws in door hinges of 250 GTE Series III (1962)

These are great questions and I will have to look further. I seem to recall them being painted body color but I'll have to see if I have pictures of an original car.

Re: 330 Engine Bay- While You're In There Tasks

The one thing that is much easier to replace while the engine is out is the soft line to the clutch slave cylinder! If I remember correctly, the steering box is the same as in the GTC, and if the bottom seal is leaking, the upper suspension arm has to come out. If it's seized in the sleeve, it'll be...

Re: 365 GTC/4 US emission equipment power loss

Hi Kristian,

I'm sure there is some parasitic loss from the air injection system along with all the other minor changes, but 20 hp is a 5% difference which may not even show up in the real world, unless you're comparing two fresh engines at WOT.

Re: What is the normal oil temperature on a 330?

Hi Steve, That sounds about right. Oil temp will fluctuate depending on how the is driven, but for regular street use, it'll come very close to following the coolant temps. In hot weather, it will exceed the coolant temp, but as long as the coolant doesn't boil over, you should generally be OK. The ...

Re: Butch Dennison/Dennison International

I wish Butch a happy retirement. I'm glad I had a chance to finally meet him in person a couple years ago when we met up with Kerry:

I'm also glad to hear the business will carry on for all those that rely on that shop to keep their cars alive!

Re: 365gt AC compressor pulley

Hi Laurent,

I have a 365 currently at my shop and the pulley roughly measures 160mm outside diameter. This is by no means accurate as I did it with a ruler.

Re: Rust Repair

I have the floor panels of my 250 GTE redone currently and need pictures to support the work. Unfortunately all links here seem dead and the email adress posted doesn’t work either. I also need information about the mysterious fiberglass mats. Which material did you use for replacement? Any help is...

Re: Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 radiator fan noise

I've also seen (heard) the fan pushing against the bushing or bracket due to the play in the shaft. Spinning the fan by hand doesn't make a noise, but when the fan is pushing air, it pushes against he bushing.

Good luck!

Re: Instrument removal GTE

Hi Graham, The gauges all come out individually from the front without removing the dash. They're held in with knurled knobs and brackets. It's going to take some contortions and squeezing your hands into tight spaces to get them out, but it can be done. I find it easier to remove the speedo or tach...

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Have you checked your condensers? Even new ones can sometimes be bad. Are you running resistors on the coils? What's the voltage at the + side of the coil with key on? The problem with pertronix set up it it needs to be done with the car to time the magnetic pickup with the flywheel marks. The plate...

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Hi AD, I'm not a fan of switching to Pertronix, but have to admit when it's set up correctly, it seems to work well. The problem is making sure the switch isn't masking other problems with the distributors. Pertronix is set up to fire with two units, one in each distributor with each one firing 6 cy...

Re: 330 GTC - rubber pad under door sill metal threshold

Hi Kevin,

The rubber is very thin, probably 2mm, and I have a rolls of rubber that I use to cut and fit. When I've found the original stuff under the sill, it's usually hardened and cracked.

Re: Pulling radiator

This is a picture of the WRONG core. Most radiator shops use this one because it's easier to get. radcore2.jpg I understand that flat fin cores are stronger but less efficient in cooling. Any reason why you recommend avoiding a serpentine core? I have not noticed any deficiency in cooling, and it's...

WIth a new impeller, it may have to "bed in," but shouldn't leak too much. It may get better as it runs. I hope...
