Steve: you have a very common problem. If these are DCN carbs, how new are the pump diaphragms? If over 15 years old, they are probably not the current ethanol resistant ones. Pump problems vary by location as the Feds mandate different fuel mixes all over the country. Non-ethanol gas will DEFINITEL...

Michael: As Chris has said, if you want the car to appear original, sleeve and rebuild your old Dunlop units. However, we have used the modern replacements from BG Developments in the UK (check their website) for our vintage racing Ferraris. They are a bolt-on replacement for the original Dunlop's, ...

Factory radiators were painted satin black all over. Today, I would recommend leaving the core unpainted or with the lightest possible coat of paint to help heat transfer.

Tom: Get my email address from Kerry. Dyke

GTE: I do not have sheets for either car. Sorry.

No, Kerry. Build Sheets extend up into the 12000 range. I have numerous build Sheets for 330's above 9315. Beyond the 12000 range, there are still "sheets", but they are very condensed summaries. I believe they are now only available when a car is certified and for extra money.

John: Here are photos of both sides, taken from above. A 10mm (6mm threads) nut is welded to the chassis and the hose is attached using an aluminum strap. You can see the general area on the frame which is directly below the oil fill caps.

John: I will try to get photos for you tomorrow.

John: Ferrari adopted this system on the 275 engines, using a plastic tube (instead of the steel pipes) that ended with a taper at the level of the bottom of the oil sump. This created a "road draft" system that used the air flow under the car to produce a vacuum in the tube to draw fumes out of the...
