LP – thanks for moving this question on to this thread – this turns out to be a much more mysterious question than I though it would be. The wheels that are presently on my 1972 C4 are labeled “Ferrari” and “Cromodora”, they do not say “Campy” any where, at least as far as I have observed. They have...

C4 on Ebay – $49,000 seem like a really good price. With several people looking for a C4, I do not understand why this one is sill out there, could it be the color? I once test-drove a black C4 in Denver. It had not been worked on for several years and the carburetors had gummed up, consequently, it...

I’m also going to give Monterey a “go” this year. I hopefully have tickets in the mail that will allow me to park an old motor home at the track – I have not been to the historics for about 20 years, let alone tried to camp at the track – anyone have any suggestions? I will be driving the C4 to the ...

Fest, I’m quite curious about the differential, so please let me know how it goes. Shaunghnessy told me when I was at his shop, that the differential gears are difficult to come by. I have been as careful as I can ever since to keep “jerky loads” to a minimum. My shop manual has a detailed descripti...

I was there yesterday, and there were two 330 – one was 4 headlight , one was later 2 headlight and was a darker read. Actually they both looked pretty good from a distance, interiors looked good on both. The later 2-headlight car had the slotted mags, I do not remember what Bruce was asking. I boug...

How old are your brake lines? I recently replaced all my flexible brake lines, - being 30 years old, they had deteriorated on the inside such that they restricted flow. This basically dampened braking and made the brakes seem in effective. The final event that caused me to fork over the $50+ for 8 b...

Ian, Kare,

What is a heritage Certificate?

Aaron

Ian, In my manual it states the 15777 engine number is supposed to be located under the headers on a “flat” towards the front of the engine. Maybe Kare knows if it is because of different engines, or different numbering conventions. In order for me to see the spot where the “car matching” number is ...

Kare, Ian, I took quick look into my engine compartment of 15777 and found the following - Top of the engine stamped into the block between the heads. FERRARI F101AC000 *00464* I found also the numbers 461 stamped into the aluminum on the left under side edge of the hood. I would suppose that this n...

Kare, You are correct about the engine numbers, there are several located between the heads. One matches the number in the manual for engine type – I will do my best to remember to look when I go home tonight. There is also a number located between two stars * 00????* which I think is the engine num...

I’m about to pull the London Stainless system off my car and paint it. I do need to narrow down exactly what coating product I need to use. The tail section does indeed look funny all shiny. Some of the challenges I’ve had were getting the system to fit, removing incorrect brackets, making new bends...

I have a C4 and know of several others that do as well, although I will let them speak up for them selves. I also do all my own work and all my own part chasing. I have had 15777 for three and a half years. Bought it from Bruce/John Jung in Emeryville CA. I have replaced Syncros, Rings, Valves, Guid...

I have heard that R134 is not quite as effective based on properties of the gas/liquid. The numbers range from a few percent to as high as 13% less effective. I do not completely understand this. I believe cooling capability is a result of “rate of expansion” which is dependent on the pressure diffe...

The system does indeed use a York compressor. It did not leak so I did not touch it, although I believe that all the rebuild parts are available. I purchased 2 cans of R134, a bottle of 134 compatible oil, and the Rec/Dry from the same Napa store (Auburn, CA). I removed the compressor – opened up on...

For Jaguar, I have an OEM cross reference, which I got off the web. It has been helpful in saving money. I admit that I do not care if the parts say Jaguar on them, which may be an issues for some vehicles. In the spirit of saving money, my latest purchase was a Receiver-Dryer for AC on my C4, which...
