Any idea how long the boot was damaged? Any chance water or dirt got under the boot?
@Nino1964 - Do you have the part number or link to the fitting? That's an awesome find!
Starting *always* revolves around fuel, spark and compression. Without one there cannot be the others. High level, I know, but that's the first...
Nice fix!
This is very important advice! If you are on stands and not in a lift, raise the underside of the assembly by the lower A arm with a jack to be...
I just did this excersise myself on a 308 GTB. When in doubt, use a torque calculator such as mentioned above or...
It shouldn't matter. The Ferrari thinks it's two four cylinder engines joined at the hip. Your tach is a 4 cylinder tach, therefore either one...
Check the wiring to your coils. Could be suffering from the same crimping issue. The tach is driven off one of your coils. A bad connection will...
I would suspect improper float level adjustment or sticking needle valve. The other possibility is a weak fuel pump or clogged filer/gunk in the...
Well having spent the last few days on this with a tape measure and a Hunter rack, assuming stock wheels and tires, zero degree rake front and...
Just to put a bow on this thread..... I settled on 26" ground to fender on the fron and 26.6" on the rear. Came out to 1.5" gap from tire to...
Thanks @Brian A. I'm just looking for some kind of benchmark to use as a starting point. As you point out, it's ultimately a practical matter of...

Well I'm happy to say that after a year plus on stands, my 79 GTB is ready to hit the road. I completed all sorts of tasks on the car that hadn't...
You need to confirm gas is actually reaching the carbs. The pump may "run" but not actually work or the filter may be clogged with debris and not...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] @BrianA - That tool worked like a BOSS! Shock cam out in 2 minutes. Thanks for the tip. I can say for certain with the...
@BrianA - Thanks for the link! That looks perfect. I ordered it up and we'll see how it goes. Yes removing the axle won't get the required...
Thanks for the replies. Did you use a standard spring compressor up in the well? I'm having a difficult time envisioning how it would fit up...
Hello Folks I have a 79 GTB that I am doing a shock and spring replacement on. The fronts were entertaining with the upper A arm having to come...
Your symptom sound like it could be a vacuum leak. Areas to check would be the base of the carbs (can warp or loosen) base of the manifold (same...
