Bosch does not recommend using antiseize compound on the threads. Antiseize will change your torque value and can give you a potential misfire. Bosch plugs are nickel plated and have rolled threads. Chances of taking the threads out when removing plugs are virtually nil. I use W7DC in my 330. A 6 he...

I have a 66 330gt. Kerry has some great photos on his site for helping take things apart and back together. If I ever decide to redo the clock it will be quartz. Be damned with the sacrilege. Palo Alto said they replaced all the inner workings, apparently they were new defective. It was out of their...

Palo Alto is VERY proud of their work and charge accordingly. I think I paid $250.00 for the clock repair. It runs now and again but only for a couple of minutes, hardly worth that kind of money. The deal with the quartz movement is the way the second hand moves, big deal. At least you have a clock ...

You may want to consider getting your clock modified to a quartz movement. Palo Alto overhauled my clock and instruments, but the clock only works ocassionally. I have to give it a thump to get started and then it runs for a few minutes. The overhaul on the clock was quite expensive and I'm back whe...

Wow, all this talk about airplane gas. Av gas is a different animal and is not needed in our cars. Save your money and use 91 pump gas. The higher the octane the slower the burn rate. Aircraft engines have much larger piston diameters. The purpose of the high octane is to give the mixture time to co...

When I bought my 330 the brake master and booster had been replaced. What I have is an Ate master cylinder from a 68 to 72 Volvo and a US made Midlands booster. They fit very nicely in their location and didn't need any cutting of the inner fender panel, however it did require shortening the rod on ...

I used aluminum paint from Bill Hirsch. He sells it in quart cans. It brushes on very easily with a sponge brush and leaves no brush marks. It is very durable and looks great. I bought many cans of spray aluminum and did tests on the engine. This paint has by far the nicest finish. It cleans up easi...

Matt, A Bosch W7DC and an NGK BP6ES are nearly identical heat ranges and both are copper core. The reason I use resistor connectors is because I converted the ignition system to electronic. The best way to decide on a plug application is to use that manufacturers application catalogue. Unfortunately...

I'll put in my 2 cents worth on the spark plug recommendations. There seems to be a concensus on the NGK BP6ES. This is a good heat range for the cars we are speaking of, I personally use Bosch W7DC with resistor connectors. The original heat range recommendations in the owners manual are too cold f...
