Time to reshoe the 76 308. Prefer running original equipment ATE pads. Also want new ATE brake hoses all around. Don't know where to get them.
While tuning my 308, I'm almost sure the I've installed the distributor on the 1-4 bank 180' off. The car is running rough. I understand the...
While in the dash, don't forget to replace all the light bulbs if they haven't already been changed. Also, if you remove the steering wheel, it's...
My '76 308 distributor alignments do not seem match what some have said here. On the rear distributor (1-4 cylinders), the TDC mark is just...
Wow, Doc. Sorry to hear you weren't so lucky. I was very lucky nothing was damaged, including me - I wasn't entirely in the car when it took...
Highly suspect the carb hoses. They can leak onto the intake manifold which can get dried out while driving the car, then leak for a few minutes...
Mike: Very interesting. I've been toying with the idea of building a good bench tester for Ferrari distributors. For my juryrigged bench...
Who says Ferraris are hard to start! Wish I had a picture of this event. I had just test driven the thing ('76 308) after adjusting the points...
It doesn't matter what you paid for it, in the future that will never be an issue. The fact is you now have a great car and if you take care of...
Good idea. Will extricate the points and check them. Clean them up if necessary.
The car is registered as a 1976 308GT4. However, it was made in May 1975 - Engine type: 106A - Serial #01383 - Vin #10974 It has single points...
Tried almost everything and still can't get the timing and gap right on my '76 308. The distributors have single points (R1) and owner and shop...
It is the Miles McAndrew's GT4. I think just doing the head work he did would substantially improve the performance of the engine. I don't know...
TDC ("PM") is TDC regardless of the other flywheel markings so your words are a little mixed up, but bottom line is at 1000 RPM idle you'd set...
Do what I did: Removed the radiator from the '76 308, took it to a radiator shop and did not tell them what kind of car it came out of. They...
My '76 308 Workshop Manual says to set the timing on the car: "Turn the crankshaft in the working direction until reference mark +6' on the...
Came across this 308 race engine. Shown with fuel injectors, it was later reverted back to the four original Weber carbs for better performance....
I suspected that. So when working on the distributor and you've forgotten where it was when you took it off, is there anyway of telling how it...
Just discovered a disturbing thing. Guess I don't know how to put distributors back on the '76 308. I thought the capacitor was on top of the...
How much work is it to install the aluminum plugs on the older 308s? I keep replacing the O-rings.
