Re: steering wheels U-Joints/needle bearings

Years ago I redid the front suspension on my 330 and I have some needle bearings:

0.097 in. diameter
0.617 in. long

Measure what you have and if the above can be adapted, I can send you a couple.

Re: Trunk Light

On the left hand side of the trunk, against the bulkhead, behind the carpeting, there is a small black junction block to which connects the tail lights, back-up light, trunk light etc. Check if all the wires are connected/clean. You'll probably find that they are all dead too, and that's because the...

Re: Trunk Light

On the 64, 330 GT in order to have the trunk light function, the parking lights will have to be "on". The ignition switch does not have to be on. That's the way the wiring diagram shows it for the 64 also. Yves

Re: 330 gt fresh air intake linkage

Mike, I see what you are saying, but I am not taking that road. You stated that you have ALL the parts, put it together following the recommendations in my previous posting. Play with it. The beauty of this simple mechanism (up/down, push/pull) has been working on the MKI for over 40 years is that i...

Re: 330 gt fresh air intake linkage

Hi Mike, I don't understand: "motion remains..." and " seems to have done nothing..." I recommend the following: 1. Make sure the flap in the air box is functional and moves freely. 2. Since you have ALL the parts, connect them as they should be, taking into consideration that the air box sits highe...

Re: 330 gt fresh air intake linkage

Hi Mike, I understand your frustration. The motion that I outlined above is how it works on my car. When the air intake is being closed, the dash board lever is pushed up and the "L" arm is moving through its arc and one arm of the "L" is moving forward. As it moves forward, the rod working the flap...

Re: 330 gt fresh air intake linkage

Mike, A small world indeed. We'll get together one of these days - not a problem. I wish I could get you pictures asap but I have to take the console out . I'll work on this project. If that helps any, the dash board lever is somewhat shaped like an "L" and the pivot point is at the angle of this "L...

Re: 330 gt fresh air intake linkage

I hope I can help you. I have 6087, so I guess that's close! I had a related problem some 30 years ago with a broken lever to which the actuating rod is connected. The actuating rod is in two pieces which are joined by a threaded brass coupling. This coupling adjusts the length of this actuating rod...
