Re: Ignition system
Greetings... I see you decided to stay with the Marelli coils. Any particular reason? Also, the white GTE Tom has been working on has Bosch blue coils. Oh the shame. The value of the car has been cut in half. This car should never be allowed on the show field. How could someone commit such a travest...

Re: Ignition system
Greetings... Should be about 1.5 ohms and the resistor should be about 1.5 ohms as well. The Bosch Blue coil is about 3 ohms which is why you don't use and external resistor. The Kettering ignition system, which is what our cars have, like about 3 ohms resistance. This keeps the coils from overheati...

Re: Ignition system
Greetings... I tried the Bosch resistor terminals and the car never ran well. I changed to some Rajah Hotrod terminals and problem over. The Bosch Blue coils are the smaller diameter than the Marelli ones by about 1/8 inch (you metric guys can figure that out for yourselves). I have searched for a g...

Re: Horn Detailing
Greetings... Try screwing the trumpet in or out while running the compressor. They seem to be sensitive about location.

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration
Greetings... For a conventional ignition, check the resistance across the oils and ballot resistors. It should measure about 3 ohms. If you disconnect the resistor (the square burgundy thingy) from the coil both should measure about 1.5 ohms. Lower resistance will allow more current flow which will ...

Re: Abarth Exhaust Clamps and alternatives
Greetings... These are available from your local British parts dealer. They fit Triumph TR3 and TR4. Will need a bit of modification.

Re: Campy wheels - GT 2+2 and GTC
Greetings... Jimmy, if only that were true. A friend had a very nice 275GTB. All work done by very knowledgeable and respected shops. His goal was to get the car to platinum (and then drive it till it was tin). He has done just what you suggest, take the scoring sheet and had the "offenses" correcte...

Re: Brake problem in my GTC
Greetings... I had exactly the same problem on my 330GT with the Bonaldi master cylinder. I consulted a local brake expert, been in the business forever, and without hesitation he told me what the problem was and what the fix was. The master cylinder wasn't returning far enough to open the transfer ...

Re: Is this heater control valve original?
Greetings... It does look different from mine. The arm and the fitting on the end of the cable are different and on mine, the hoses come off parallel to each other. Basic design looks very similar though

Re: Is this heater control valve original?
Greetings... What I see is not a thermostat but a heater control valve. Not sure if that is correct for your GTE but it is what is used on the 330GT.

Re: GTC Lucas alternator #
Greetings... Complete Auto Electric have one listed on eBay. They are in Van Nuys Ca. Company has a spotty reputation so I would have anything from them tested. They list as BNR. My 64 330 GT has a Marelli. You sure it calls for Lucas
