    Greetings followers,
    It’s Summer,
    and, I believe time is faster today, then 20 years ago, for, that was a fast spring.

    spent some time in the garage. The “while, you are in there’s,” had to get done)

    see Shocks. Painted. New hardware.
    (Smile)
    ( for shock eye bushes, ? I went with SUPERFORMANCE they were exactly 0.003 inch, interference fit.)
    So,, what did you guys get done?
    (on your spring projects.)

    me?
    I’m waiting on Cam Shaft to Cog, “O” rings?

    Hey Joe,

    thank you for the positive comments.

    Yes, this is a euro model, made for the autobahn, but legal in the USA and California. ( grey market car)

    yes, that is an Aluminum Fuel Distributor.

    and, I’m in the garage as we speak. I flushed the gas tanks and the complete CIS system.
    Primed the oil system then spun the motor (with no spark plugs) to view the oil pressure.
    Now,,
    Getting ready to button up the water system and install the distributor caps. ( whew)
    Then, try to start it.

    wish me luck,
    Edwardo

    Good luck! You added a supercharger, right? Or intend to? I don’t see that anywhere…

    Peter,

    skipped the Super Charger dream, for now.
    ( smile)
    The qv piston set I have, would have resulted in the final engine compression value, Way too low. (oops)
    The euro, QV piston set, Might be for sale ( make me an offer) or I’ll save them for a future QV Cabriolet.

    Regards,
    Edwardo

    coolant…? In the valley between the heads,,?
    ( please, don’t even mention that.) lol

    for, a couple years back, I had installed a “ faux,” Elring head gasket on the foreword bank. This resulted in another motor pull scenario. ( whew)
    Yes, the gasket had all the proper Holographic Seals. but, it was a real fake. ( aaaa ha ha,, “ real fake,,? is that proper English.,,?)

    all for now,

    The I believe the , 8.6 forged pistons have a ceramic top. With that ratio, perfect for a blower. ( idea)

    kindest regards,
    Edwardo

    Hey Joe,

    This is an, old photo, of a USA spec, Cabriolet, with a Norwood Turbo. Pistons are 8.6 to one, compression ratio. Car was last seen in the Dallas, TX area.

    my Ferrari friend, I hope you have a nice Halloween.

    Ciao,
    Edwardo
