355 F355 / 355F1 Parts Thread

No problem. After 18 years of having my exhaust value wired open everything is now working. For those with a rattling bypass valve I found that putting a small tension spring on the actuator arm pulling at a right angle away from the valves up/down travel really helps. Make sure you have a steady vacuum out of the bean tin. I had to replace both of the small check valves and the. I’d get a steady 10-15 in hg on startup and 55 in hg after a quick run

 

Hope it's a genuine Ford part. I see Ali Express is selling some for less than U$10

 

I've had two PartsTec PTA510-0549 on the car for a while now, working fine. £14 each. I don't think it's a risky area to fit a cheaper part and they are essentially so ubiquitous as to be commoditised.

 

I posted a couple of other Ford part numbers up there ^

Must be a few!

 

Ferrari turn signal relay 158019 (superseded by 170762) is the same as Alfa Romeo 60693732. Here in the UK, £25 from an Alfa Romeo shop instead of £150 for the same part from Ferrari.

Perfect match for the bosch part, installed in my 355GTS 5.2, works perfectly; cured the intermittent high tick over after a drive.
