Re: window cables

Knowing how other Ferrari power windows are routed will probably permit you to figure yours out.
My Queen has the following routing.

Re: Aerioquip hoses revisited

I just bought a complete set of requirements for my Queen, based on the recommendation of a reputable Ferrari restorer. I'm using new reusable Aeroquip fittings and Aeroquip FC321-6, -8, and -10. It's LP Gas hose, and according to the restorer I talked to, works with R134A. It looks exactly like 154...

Re: FCA 2011 - Savannah

Excuse me. It seems to be changing as I type. Apparently the Grand Celebration is on Friday night, before the concours.

Re: FCA 2011 - Savannah

I missed FCA2010 in N.J. so mayby I'm late in noticing that the event seems to have evolved from Toronto in 2008 and Elkhart Lake in 2009. It looks like it's now three solid days of track events - Wednesday through Friday - with the concours on Saturday and the rally and post-rally party on Sunday. ...

Re: FCA 2011 - Savannah

Actually, we can swap off that large back seat every couple of hours. FINALLY, I'll get to find out who Ricky Bobby is.

Dempsey, are you going to drive your platinum hay-hauler down there?

FCA 2011 - Savannah

Please excuse if there's already a thread or if this is a Premature Immatriculation, but: Who's planning to go to the Nationals in June (FCA 2011 in Savannah) ? How? I'm thinking of going, but if I do, I'll fly down and rent a car, or try to fly part way to meet up with someone and co-pilot down. Th...

Re: Battery group size for 250 PF Coupe?

You are kind of right, Tom. According to the BCI terminal locations shown on the left side of page four of the CAT BATTERY brochure at the following web site, there doesn't seem to be any consistent terminology for locating the battery terminals, however BCI has at least made a "road map" to show wh...

Re: Battery group size for 250 PF Coupe?

Please be careful to choose a battery with the positive and negative posts in the correct corners. They never look right if they are reversed.
I lived with the wrong battery post configuration on my Queen for several years and finally got it right.

Re: valve adjustment screws

I don't know anything about a Porsche version of the screw. My engine is back to as Gioacchino Colombo, or at least as originally produced from his designs. I've heard of the needle bearing modification, but don't know enough about the actual materials and pieces to be confident that it would work f...

Re: valve adjustment screws

Over the years, I used the ball-tip type because I had a batch of bad production types once. I was dissatisfied and wanted to go back to production type but with good quality. I expressed that concern to Geoff Ohland at Partsource . He assured me he had never had a complaint about his production typ...

Re: Cavallino 2011

Given that it's already near the end of November, discussions about Cavallino seem to be late this year. Even your post didn't do much to stimulate discussion of the subject. I guess I'll be the first to respond. I'm not planning to go to Cavallino this year. Cavallino XIX in January 2010 was an ext...

Is it the correct part? I can't tell at a glance.
