Like @Harry-SZ did in 2018, I'm resurrecting an old thread related to a current effort, following a search for my question: On my 1979 308 GTS...
@steve meltzer Forgot to say, looking forward to hearing what your root cause issue is, and what you did to correct it!
@steve meltzer If a brake booster has brake fluid in it, it's a bad master cylinder... not booster. That said, brake fluid from the master...
@rob58 Another vote for a Dry Sump GTB: I bought mine 40 years ago in Germany, a fairly late build, early 1980, so single distributor with...
@steve meltzer Good luck with the cut-off switch connection... it'll be interesting to hear. Based on your description, I was somewhat in the...
@jpl Based on your pictures, the pads look fine to me. Even if the pads are highly worn, a new issue needing to "pump the brakes" would not be...
Correct! An artifact of the "US DOT Compliance" 40 years ago: They didn't ask me...they just added the rectangular USA side markers next to the...
Concur SMG, I don't understand the logic of being concerned or depending on marks or numbers on the BELT itself (besides engine designers for...

Sam - Are you bringing chassis 31445 home?
My Dry Sump when I bought it March of 1985 / 40 years ago... and today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Jens - Not sure if this helps (and I didn't read through them all) but there may be some information to be gleaned from the links below. My...
The original sock on mine (1979 US/NA) was pretty disintegrated, a good fit for me was a new 1970's (+/-) GM sock (5/16 ID or ~8mm). I was...
Two thoughts: 1- My US/NA tanks have two straps holding the tank in, along with two U-shaped "capture channels" on each tank. My Euro Carb car...
@samson I did a partial picture out of respect that you're negotiating on the car. VIN would provide the original destination country. From my...
Funny you say that... this is why I asked the OP the US vs. Euro question: If 31445 is correct, here's a pic of the rear valence, a modified US to...
@Dr Tommy Cosgrove My <guess> it could be chassis 31445 Do you have anything on it? @samson Sam - Usual applies: Was it originally a USA or Euro...
