That was what was available, but not 100% correct. They can't see the label when judging so it's not an issue on a concours level.

It looks like it's been done. Auction houses are not in the business of dissuading you from buying a car, so information that would put doubt in a purchase is often conveniently omitted! For all the years I've been writing and posting videos of this problem, I still see GTCs being auctioned with thi...

the outside of the canister is painted a grey color and has a yellow stencil, but the inside is bare.

Yolanda just made me a pair! She has the molds!

Tom

The car is on the road and the sheer thrill of the driving experience & the roar of the V 12 is insane! She misfires a bit when cold but after the engine gets properly hot the misfire more or less disappears. One thing I am unable to understand is that on this forum and in the literature I have rea...

The fuel filter housing is some kind of alloy and does not rust, but corrodes like aluminum. I wouldn't coat it with anything.

Tom

I don't believe the GTE has these.

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...

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

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 ...

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...

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.

Tom

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. ...

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...

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...
