Italian cigarette lighter replacement found

While shopping at Pep Boys, they carry the casco #212140 heavy duty lighter which can replace the silly italian cigarrette lighter with at least a standard american socket that can be used to power a cell phone or whatever. Fits the original hole just fine on the Mondial, and I would also assume most othe Ferraris so equipped.

I wonder if this works in 308's?

 

My thoughts exactly.....although both cars share a lot of parts, I'd guess the answer is 'yes'....

 

Yes is does

I did that on my old 78

 

I suppose I'm confused -- my 328 came stock with a standard cigarette lighter/power socket. Did 308s and Mondial come with something else?

 

Some came with an old version where you place the cigarette in the hole/element and it heats the cigarette. i believe VIP Automotive (or PEP Boys) has them.

 

Funny story - when I flew out to Dallas to pick up my new-to-me 308 for the drive back to Charleston, a friend gave me a loaner Valentine 1 detector with the cigarette power adapter. Damned Italian cigarette lighter well is too SHALLOW for the longer, US-spec Cig-Lighter power adapters, and the V1 plug wouldn't fit and thus no power. Two days of driving at the steady pace of 65 MPH....I ended up getting pulled over anyway, for a two-years-out-of-date temporary tag. DOH!
