    I finally figured out the wiring to change the original Magneti Marelli coil to the MSD High Vibration coil. It only took me five times of uninstalling and reinstalling.

    Since May, I’ve completed the following:

    1. Rebuilt and synchronized carburetors.
    2. Replaced OEM spark plug wires with Accel 4040s.
    3. Changed spark plugs (went from NGK Iridium 5’s to 6’s).
    4. Replaced OEM coil with MSD High Vibration Coil.
    5. Installed new MSD 6A.
    6. Replaced fuel filter and additional decaying fuel hoses.
    7. Scrubbed wheel wells, undercarriage and, specifically, the engine ground cable.
    8. Installed Weber DCNF individual air cleaner baseplates.

    I attempted a start last night. It was the first she had ever started so immediately. I was shocked. I might have just gotten a few things done correctly after some seriously (for me) difficult moments. A drive is next.

    You're very welcome. It's not too much ... just the right amount of improvement.

    Purchased a 308 front Undertray from Superformance UK. I had to modify it to fit in a LHD 308.
    I used my original panel to line up and hole saw cut the AC drain hole on passenger side and a new rear middle screw hole.
    All is good.

    Took my car to a local Hot Rod and Harley show (I know, what was I thinking?) and was asked at least 10 times if it was a kit car.

    The only interesting moment was Dave Kindig (Bitchin Rides TV show guy who was a guest host at the event) came by and talked Ferraris for a few minutes. Turns out he has a 348. Wouldn't have guessed that based on his 'day job'.

    That's a great, period color that works well with the chrome.

    Installed BMC's in my 360 today. They don't really "drop" in. More like...pressed in. Was a bit more of a pita than anticipated. Which is to say it took me 15 mins when I expected 5.
