1968 365 Gt 2 + 2 help needed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have just bought a 1968 365 Gt 2 + 2 from the orignal owner.The car had not been started for about five years.It is my first ferrari so i am a complete rookie. Have managed to get the engine started.However it looks like i am going to have to do a lot more work before the car really becomes driveable.At the moment the engine lacks power, is smoking and missing,and after running it for a very short while the plugs become black.ihave several questions- 1.Is there a technical manual available which would help me with a rebuild? 2.can anyone recommend a parts source for an engine rebuild? (i have had several engines rebuilt but none were as complex-mostly mustang merc camaro cuda etc) 3.can anyone suggest a source for carbs,clutch and pressure plates? 4.is there a source for borrani type wire wheels? 5.the piano type switches on the centre cosole are missing.any idea where i could buy these?or would i have to have them made? 6.what is the body metal made of?as it appears to have no corrosion at all? 7.i also own some other classic cars-have replaced the points with a pertronix ignitor and have never had starting problems again-is something like this available for the 365? 8.is there a source for either nos or aftermarket parts for: a.interior parts such as door lock knobs and ferrules,rear view mirror,etc b.window and winshield rubber gaskets(would sofseal have a kit ?) c.other misc items such as the orignal horn,wipers,turn signal lights(front) any help at all would be greatly appreceated a.d.
Head on over the the technical section & the section for 330s (sub section). There's a wealth of experience there.
Congratulations on your purchase! Clyde is right, head over to the correct sub-section and you should find a great deal of information. Also, might want to post specific tech questions in the tech Q&A. Good luck and please post some pictures!
