Yes, on further testing I found the left rotary switch to be the base adj. and the right rotary switch to be a 3 position for local, near and far...
Thanks all! I appreciate your input! I wanted to be sure before I got too aggressive with the LH rotary switch. Now I have another q? What's the...
Anyone have a Becker Grand Prix in their 246 Dino? See my photo attached. Does the lever (switch?) on the left with the on/off/vol. control have...
Richard! Thanks for the "illuminating" (sorry!) info! I agree 100%. My Cebie H4's are very good but more output is always better. Where does...
Relays are a very good idea! Not sure whether or not mine has them but I'll check. Clean contacts and Optima battery help also! Bill
The Cibie H4's on my US 246 GTS may or may not be as original but they are outstanding for night driving - well, duh! When else does one "use"...
Replaced the original rusty and leaky Ansa with a Stebro Sport exhaust. I'm told the "Sport" version has a bit more aggressive note than the...
John, Do you have a web address for GT Car Parts in Phoenix? Thanks, Bill
Re: 246 Dino Any comments on the use of oil treatment additives, such as, STP Oil Treatment in lieu of synthetic oil? Bill
Very interesting! "Deductions will be made for over-restoration; extravagance detracts from originality." Pity the poor judge that must...
Thanks everyone for the input! I will take this info and attempt to put together a "12 Essential tools" kit for a Dino. Sounds like none of you...
Yep! You'd be surprised at all the other "non-essential" tools I cram into that spare tire well. I'd never do it in the "wild" but add a 17mm...
Thanks Synchro! Halon extinguishers are a very good idea. I am replacing my old "dirty" ones. I too have a Perma-Tune rebuilt Dinoplex and it...
Good question Ken! In 42 years (23 driving and 19 in storage) and 150,000 miles, aside from the jack for one flat tire, the 32mm socket and the...
Jim (jeselevan)! No problem! If we don't maintain a healthy sense of humor we're too damned "tight-assed" to own these old cars! A spare...
Thanks for the input Dave! I do need to source a window crank or will another tool work? Bill
Matt! My "Essential" 12 traveling tools for the 356 are: 1 32mm 1/2" drive socket 1 1/2" drive 17" Breaker bar 4 Open End Wrenches; 7x9,...
If I had a Factory Tach cloth, it'd be locked-up with the "crappy" factory tools. Costco micro-fiber towels work for me. The cell phone is a great...
Having driven a 356 Porsche for 42+ years, I've acquired what I consider to be the 12 essential travel tools for that car. That's not to say I...
Mark, I've concentrated on 3 companies: Leland West. Hagerty and American Collectors. All provide coverage based on "Agreed Value". Because...
