Isn't this where the fuse board is mounted? On some of the early cars the fuses may have been in the engine side of the firewall. But the junction block that I was refering to should also be located on the same mounting board as the fuses. Generally all of these electrics,( fuses regulator,relays fl...

Scott, the glass tube fuses are the modern USA replacement for the ceramic European ones, and they are electrically identical. These newer fuses have a non corroding tip that is much more stable as far as oxidation, and the glass tube protects the fuse element from handling damages. As far as the te...

Scott, this is typical of jump start damage for the alternator. Again, NO jump starting! These Marelli voltage regulators are pretty expensive, but GT Parts in Phoenix and Ruthlands have rebuilt ones if you really need one. There is a phenolic (plastic like) square block on the fuse panel that hs 4 ...

Scott, my purpose was to educate you and hopefully not scare you. If you have knowledge of these things then you can address them with ease. One final comment, I have always told owners to add a battery disconect switch to their cars so as to prevent things from happening when you are not around. An...

Scott, the photo shown in the above comment is the voltage regulator for your 330, if someone has not replaced it in the past. The round object you mentioned is the turn signal flasher and should not be a problem if the turn signals work OK. There is no master relay in the car, unless they are refer...

Scott, rule #1, NEVER jumpstart any vehicle unless it is an emergency! This is what typically happens - electrics are damaged. Have the alternator checked out by a shop, or most larger autoparts stores even have a simple load test that will tell you if it working or not. If your 330 has not been mod...

Having the coil rewound could be an option, but finding a company to do this may be difficult. Take the coil out of the housing and take a close look at it and see if there is anything obvious - like a broken wire or visable short to the housing etc. Finding a junker core for a couple of hundred may...

John, take the plastic cover off and connect your 12V directly to the wire that leads to coil winding; it is soldered to a lug on the point block. If still no action then the coil is open, if it sparks and no motion on the shaft then it's shorted. These coils are not usually available as service par...
