The curve in my 1976 Euro carbed dry sump 308GTB handbook appears to plot distributor rpm against degrees of advance as follows: rpm...
If you're unlucky enough to have a seriously stuck piston, as I did, you can get them out but will have to replace with new. I very carefully...
if MREUS is right then its a '77 308, rhd on 76/77 UK plate. Strange that it should be wet sump though. I thought all UK rhd glass cars were dry...
I'm 60! You don't know the meaning of pain in the mornings! Not sure about the sealant. I spent hours yesterday removing the stuff from a a...
I'm going to start by getting the cam cover gaskets in from Superformance and when time permits, get the deck and the air filter assembly off and...

The humidity is up today. Its been around 50 - 55% for the past couple of weeks but is now above 70%. Guess what - the ticking's gone. If it...
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, especially with the great pictures Robert. What a beautifully clean engine, must have been taken during a...
I suppose a quick and dirty way of determining whether its to do with the compressor/belt would be to cut off the compressor drive belt, which...
Thanks Mark. I'm pretty sure its not HT flyoff, it just sounds like it and, as I say, the ticking is in sync with the compressor belt rotation....
'76 308GTB. a/c compressor drive belt appears to 'wobble', almost as though its rocking in the pulley V's each time the belt goes around. I...
