Re: clutch drives me nuts - what is wrong here?

I was relooking at the photos abd the first one shown with 6 springs only has 6 splines as well. The other disks have 10 splines. Where did the 6 spline disk come from? Bob GTE 2693

Re: original light switch for 250 GTE needed

Re: Front Suspension Details reguested

I think the key to the answer is to look at the threads on the item and see if it is drilled for a cotter pin. If there is no hole then a nylon locknut is called for. Bob Arthur GTE 2693

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

It would seem that, if the idle mixture screws do not have any effect, the fuel is coming from somewhere else, like a float valve not sealing. Engines do not run without fuel.

Re: 365 GT 2 + 2 restoration

Since three wires are not firing, it would seem to indicate the possibility that one set of points on the right hand bank is not working. Each set is responsible for three cylinders. Hope you resolve this soon. Bob A.
