Re: Securing plate for droop stop rubber

I don't believe the GTE has these.

Re: Undercoating

Melchior, Tom: After I researched undercoating many years ago, I came to the conclusion, it was applied by the following method: 1. A man actually laid on his back under the car and shot the undercoating straight up toward the body/chassis. This is why the sides of the frame and other areas are not...

Re: Undercoating

Yes, I've seen lots of undercoating sprayed onto the frame in the curved sections rising over the rear axle.

Re: Position of number plate

The only way to know is to try it! I have found the stock cooling system and 250 engine tend to run cooler than a 330. Idling in traffic with the stock fan seems to keep the car cool even though the design seems pretty inefficient. I have found the 330s, with a larger displacement with more heat to ...

Re: Securing plate for droop stop rubber

Hello Tom, I guess you mean these 2 welded parts (please see picture/marked blue), right? Does you car have the two securing plates shown in the 330 catalog on Tavola 29 (parts 46 and 47) that seem to secure the rubber part (45)? Yes, those are the plates, you should have appropriately sized nuts a...

Re: Testing a zero pressure radiator cap

There is pressure on the cap on the top of the radiator on the 330 GTC becasue the cap on the expansion tank has a pressure spring on it. The flat seal with the nipple is available from Ciccoginani.

Re: Securing plate for droop stop rubber

Yes, they go on the GTE as well. It's the same part and size as for the 330. I just purchased a pair from Ciccogiani (sp?) I had to trim a little of the bevel off to get the part to squeeze into the hole where it mounts. Your GTE should also have the welded steel bar (#41) that the bumper rests on. ...

Re: Plug wire installation

Hi Rob, The 330 tubes are usually easier than the 250 tubes. Like everyone says, use silicone spray. Start with the longest run first. I sometimes cut a beveled point on the end that's getting pushed through. I save the grommets for last after the wires are run. Don't forget to label the ends to sav...

Re: 330 GT headlamp/rings and gasket - series II

Hi Ed, This is just my opinion, so take it on face value. I can't speak for the judges of the FCA and what they're ruling. I feel there should be a gasket between the chrome ring and the body work like your version 2. These cars are pininfarina built cars, and probably are the same for GTC, GTS, and...

Re: Ferrari 330GT, long unpainted weld

This is the back side of the inner fender looking up inside the wheel well. I saw that area too when I shined a light up under there and applied some primer and undercoating to the untreated steel. A lot of the "unseen" welds like these were pretty rough on these old Ferraris!

Re: 330 GT/GTC/GTS Headlamp rings

Hi Ed, I know that GTC/GTS headlight rings are slightly larger than the 330GT 2+2s, so be careful which ones are being reproduced. The 2+2 rings will fit the GTC/GTS, but they will not fill the whole headlight opening flush with the body work. I have seen a lot of GTCs with 330GT 2+2 headlight rings...

Re: Fuse board junction/terminal/connector

Jimmyr - I’m going to replace one that melted. Top picture in this thread shows what needs replacing. Luckily the connection still works fine, but I want to replace it with a new terminal block. And thanks to Michael, I’ll be able to replace it with a terminal strip/block that should be a perfect m...

Re: Weber DCZ6 accelerator pumps

I just had a 365GTC/4 come into my shop that wasn't starting. The fuel flow was fine, but what I eventually found out was almost all the needles at the inlet floats were stuck in the closed position. No fuel was being allowed into bowls at all. The combination of ethanol fuel, and what I believe was...
