Kristian: The screw slot on the top of the glass bowl fuel filter is supposed to adjust the pressure, as the upper part of this component is a pressure regulator. I have seen many of them react as yours did. In all honestly, it sounds like your fuel system is functioning "normally" and as designed. ...

Kristian: 1. Have you measured the pressure produced by the mechanical pump? You should have 4-5 psi. 2. The original purpose of the electric pump was to fill the carbs on cold starts, and to ASSIST FUEL SUPPLY UNDER HARD RUNNING AND HOT CONDITIONS. The factory expected this to happen and provided t...

Tom: The coating is teflon. If most of the teflon has survived, all the bushings need is lubrication and reassembly. You can buy just the teflon inner sleeves and replace only them also.

Tom: I honestly think you may be overthinking this. A visual inspection should be all you need to determine if you need new inner "bushings". It is easy to determine if the steel pins are worn. Generally, they are fine.

Five or six drops every year or two. Doesn't need much oil.

If you can route a piece of safety wire down and into the oil hole so that the wire does not touch anything on the way down, you can put drops of 3-in-1 oil on the wire and they will follow the wire down and go into the oiling hole. I have done it this way for years. Works on lots of hard to access ...

Ignore my previous post, Mechaniker is correct for the ENTIRE engine.

No, coils and resistors only have ONE each. Look at the Parts Books.

Jim: I warned you about my memory. So you made me put on my coat and trudge through the cold out to the shop to look at wheels. I checked two sets of Compagnolos, a sunburst set and a square-hole set. Both sets use washers, but not what we normally refer to as "Lock Washers", but "Serrated" washers ...

Jim: When the wheels are produced, the threaded ends of the bolts are deformed after they are tightened, to prevent them coming loose. Somebody has removed the nuts and possibly replaced the bolts and nuts. From the factory, they usually do not use lock washers (my memory and we all know how good th...

Kristian: Item C. When you remove the wires from this connector, you should find two large metal "staples" that act to transfer current from one connection to another. These "staples" corrode and cause all kinds of problems with the electrics, as most of the power for the car passes through this con...

Tom: We have done quite a few of the Daytona style conversions and we NEVER release the chain tension. As long as when you remove the center seal holder, you make sure the shaft is pushed back into the chaincase, the shaft will stay in place secured by the rear bearing.

Jim: At least you can type. I took a typing class in summer school between my junior and senior year. This was the same summer I got my first Alfa. To this day, I have never been able to understand why I have NO typing skills.

Jim: "8" is way too cold for a street engine. The BP6ES is the BEST plug for street motors.

Yves: We were happy to help. Enjoy driving your Ferrari in good health.
