I have a copy of Keith Bluemel's classic book "The Original Ferrari V8--A Restorer's Guide" , in perfect codition, currently on ebay. This is a...
I had that happen on my '85 308 and was able to epoxy a replacement nipple/tube onto it.
Ditto--I've done business with both Peter and Bill. You can't go wrong with either one. They are great guys and are very honest and competent.
As stated, I wouldn't try to unbolt them for fear of twisting the rail. I changed mine out via using a dremel tool. Do so very carefully because...
Check the ground wire for the pod. My old '85 308 did the same thing and I found that the ground wire had come loose. This immediately fixed the...
That looks exactly where the aluminum pipe on my old '85 308 ruptured a few years ago. In my case it was rubbing against the fuel tank ridge and...
Grio 430 in Latham , NY yesterday--very nice! I was in my red NSX.
I redid some pieces on a freind's 512TR. I found lacquer thinner to work real well in reving the coating.
What are the differences or changes that were made between '83 QV's and '85 QV"s ? I had an '85 and a friend of mine is considering buying an '83...
Wow--nice job! I had the same issue with my old '85 308 . I just bolted 2 metal tabs onto mine to hold them in place. I gotta say, your set-up is...

Wow--these are very postive endorsements! Thanks so much for the input. My friend has a TR with a blown head gasket and is searching for agood,...
Has anyone had any experience having service done at Pocono Sportscar in Pa? A good friend of mine is looking for a Ferrari service facility in...
Update--our worst fear has come true. It is coolant in the oil, and a lot of it. The next step is --well, you know--removal of the heads and...
Hi, guys. Since posting this thread, the car has been dropped off at shop and is in the process of undergoing dx tests. I'll fill you in on the...
Thanks, again. I'll report back when the tests are done.
Thanks for all of the ideas, Tifosi. In his case, the owner, who is 83 years old, rarely ever drives the car and, when he does, it's a...
