No smog check either, if auto older than 25 yrs.

The same is true in Pennsylvania - if you have an Antique car plate, as you are authorized to have if over 25 Years of age. (The car that is)

See you Saturday.

I guess my browser was relaoding from cache. The link worked fine. I don't know your area - but if you were visiting my area, I would drive around some country roads for a bit with a couple of stops for photo shoots, and end up about 11 am or so at some place with brunch, where we could gather aroun...

I've nailed down a date with Bill Pollard. This year it will be a held at Sport Auto in Gaylordsville, CT. It's a shop that I've recently started working for, and will be a great place for car enthusisasts to come and see some great cars! Here's the info: Where: Sport Auto by Bill Pollard Gaylordsv...

Hi Rudy:

Just wait until we refer to our cars as 330 GTC 2+2's: Or maybe a "330 GTC" as a 330 GTB/2! We will confuse them.

Cheers
Warren

Rudy: I don't think a my or your 330 GT could be morphed into a GTC (or the converse) under any circumstances. The chassis is quite different. and the body could not accomodate another pair of seats in any case. It is just a totally different car. ' To quote Wikipedia: --- 330 GTC/GTS "The 330 GTC a...

Ok, so (B) Berlinetta is a two seater, a (C) Coupe is a 2+2, and the (S)Spider is a convertible. I used to think C was Competezione or competiton but I guess Coupe is the correct designation and makes sense.

Hi Art: I obviously hope you are right - a much easier fix than valve work. But black smoke from an overly rich mixture seems unlikely given the other clues. In any case it sounds like your car is runing pretty well. Just pretend your race car is at LeMans where a little smoke might be normal. I saw...

Hi Art: That symptom sounds like valve guides and/or valve seals. When you decelerate with the throttle plates closed, like coasting down a long hill, the high vacuum in the intake manifold tends to suck oil past the guides, and when you accelerate it blows it out. It is a pretty common, almost clas...

Hi Art: Lead (as tetraethylead - TEL) in gas has been used mainly for 2 reasons: 1) Raise the octane 2) Provide an antiseize film on the valve and valve seat. As far as raising the octane, a no-lead gas can be manufactured with the same octane as a leaded gas - but it is more costly because the yiel...

Hi Yale: The main practical advantage of a Pertronix system is there are no points, so no wear on the rubbing block to cause drift of the point gap and timing. In fact I suppose a Pertronix could be combined with another system, since the Pertronix would act only as a replacement for the points to t...

Congrats Kerry from another old fart. I've had mine since 1980, but if yours is 25 Years in your posession I bet you bought smarter than I did, if I remember the market bubble/crash sequence. I doubt that I can do another 25 Years (I will be101) and my kids will have grounded me long ago. Of course,...

Hi Guys:

In my case, the first replacement leaked - so the weak spring was replaced by a stronger spring - next, the rubber boot split.
Beware, it may not just be the spring!

Just a reminder - there were a number of water pump issues (recall past threads) of the same type. Mine was out 4 times before a industrial part was used with the appropriate mods to make it fit. so far - so good.

Assuming I'm not in Asia, there may be a second SWB at the party. I wonder if we could breed them? Jim Can you get papers so the litter can be certified? From who? (not the AKC - no Ferrrari is a dog!) And since they are not being cloned. how much variation from the parents would you expect? Just i...

Well Warren, you were going to make Kerry sit in the back for the drive from your house, so I figured I would be lucky just to be in front of the trunk! Yeah, but he was going to have a lot more time (~400 miles) to get accustomed to all that room. BTW, I don't have rear seat belts - if that makes ...
