Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration
Hi A.D., you could put the cap ends of the a known good wire in the spot off the cap that is not firing.Make sure to switch the plug end as well. If the strobe lights up the wire is at least OK.A test meter should also be able to show if any individual wire has continuity or too much resistance.Taki...

Re: Daytona Cooling and Water Pump Rebuild
Hi Drew, I have no experience with the Daytona but I would first check that the radiator is doing its job. Feel along the entire core while the car is at operating temp and make sure there are no cold/cool spots.Good luck,Mike

Re: thoughts on attaching rear license plate?
Hi Greg, my first thought was to make 2 elegant looking brackets that could mount under or in some way in conjunction with the plate lights.Perhaps between them and the bodywork? Not much any of us can do to make a Lusso look bad.Good luck,Mike

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration
Hi A.D. , if you dont have a pyrometer a drop of water on each header pipe might tell if one or more are not getting hot form not firing.Just a thought,Mike

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration
Hi A.D. I am not that familiar with the carbs on your car but you should check that the "choke" is not on or stuck.Is the cable hooked up and are all the levers in the proper position?Webers dont have choke plates as other carbs do.They have circuits to supply more fuel if needed.If it is warm where...

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration
Hi A.D. Listen to what all these wise men have said.90% of carb problems are spark related.Remember you have multiple sets of points .You say it fires up well so most of it is working but these cars can run surprisingly well on 9 cylinders so make sure one system is fully up to snuff prior to going ...

Re: Finding TDC
Hi Steve, just for future reference . If you put the rubber glove on the end of the tail pipe and it gets real big you then know that the engine is indeed running. Mike
