Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

As you said Tom, if it works, it works.
So decided to leave things alone for the time being.

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

By the way we had to ho to flame thrower coils and a pertronix set up to get the car working smoothly without which she was just not working.

So if anyone is considering a switch to pertonix it’s highly recommended- makes the entire experience quite hassle free.

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

The car is on the road and the sheer thrill of the driving experience & the roar of the V 12 is insane!

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Hi

A question for all the folks driving a vintage Ferrari in
California or other such warm climates.

Have you faced a problem of the coils overheating and consequently the car shutting down?

How does one fix this?

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Thanks for the feedback

Could you give me a couple of names where i could get
The coil over update?

And what about the self levelling unit?

Once the coil over update installed just disconnect it?

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Well its stopped pouring but still heavily overcast. We’ve waited so many many years so we thought we may as well wait just a wee bit longer for the sun to come out. While we wait the thought is to start collecting parts required for a front and rear suspension job Based on the vast experience in th...
