Hi Guys, I just had to put a V-12 distributor on my Sun Machine to answer the question for myself. The points to the best of my knowledge are wired in parallel, each set of points grounds through the base with a wire off each set of points to the single post on the distributor. Each set of points op...

I've used them for years, they have restored units for Ferraris, Maseratis, Duesenbergs Alfas, etc. Ask for Tom or Pat, Pat's the owner...

Well I guess I'll throw in two cents. One of my customers told me a long time ago to put street Michelins on my 330GT 2+2. He was correct they have similar look, they are only H rated which is good for 130 mph and they ride so much better than XWXs. How often will any of these vinatge Ferraris go ov...

Hi Tom and Steven, Tom and I had this discussion at our get together last week. I absolutely agree with Tom that older engine technology was over engineered. I used to be "factory" Technical Troubleshooter for Toyota and watched their products go from being able to run with almost no oil and coolant...
