The lectures would make a great pod cast if anyone has the capability to record them. I missed them last year as I was working on the 330GTC but they are a highlight.

I drove a series 1 superfast and it felt a lot like a 330GTC. Lots of torque. The engine sounded beefier than the 330 while driving. It has a higher power to weight ratio than a daytona or 275GTB. Very comfortable car in modern hiway traffic and around town. With some AC it could be a daily driver:)...

The problem ended up being the wires leading into the fuse panel. The ignition switch checked out fine so I turned to the expert, James at Norwoods. His advice was to "jiggle and wiggle" those 4 wires and that woke it up. During a 50 miles drive last nite it did die a couple times so I am going to g...

Another hint is that the interior light is contstantly on, even when the switch is off.

Thanks. I am thinking if it was the starter selenoid the lights would come on when I turn the key. I will check out the switch first.

275 electrical, won't start

The 275 won't start, I turn the key and starter does not engage and the engine doesn't turn over. The battery checked out fine and the horn works, but none of the come on nor does the electric fuel pump cycle. All the fuses look ok. Any suggestions for a backyard mechanic on what to look for next? T...

I expected the "no handbooks or tools included" but I think disclaimer that it "does not include pistons or rings" is a bit much, even for Tom.

GTC spinners

I have the straight ones on my GTC and the judge at Cavallino said they are supposed to be the curved ones. I would like to buy the curved ones if anybody has them available at a decent price.

I replaced the back of mine as well, got it at parts source for $300 or so. This is the part that gave out on me at Cavallino and the car would not start. Not a bad DIY repair. Remember where you take the wires off and disconnect the battery. I used an inspection mirror to locate the two screws as i...

Thanks Brian- The double nut technique worked. The slave is off now and I was able to get the bleeder screw loose but it will need to be replaced as its stripped. Thanks for the help.

removing cluth slave cylinder 330 GTC, need some help

I am removing the clutch slave cylinder on '68 330GTC and I can't get the push rod out of the actuating arm. Removed the 2 bolts on the housing and the hydrolic line but the actuating arm is stuck. Any hints? Actuating arm won't move and it doesn't seem to help use the adjusting screw. Bleeder screw...

I will have my blue 330 GTC judged at Cavallino. Stop by and say hello. I will also be at the jet reception and tour of PB with it.
