I got a new 330GTC in the shop today that came from North Carolina. The current owner bought this car back in 1984 and has owned it every since!

It looks like an original paint car, and although faded and a little dull, has the honesty of a well used original car.

The engine has the same look and the owner sent the car to me to change out the fuel and oil lines, along with any thing else I might see that this old girl might need to keep her safe and performing onto the future.

The first thing I noticed was the mechanical fuel pump was leaking so I took it out of the car to find a cracked diaphragm. The owner told me it was weeping on occasion, but by the time it arrived in NY, it was leaving a trail of fuel all the way into my shop!

The original check valves were replaced with aftermarket valves, but I was able to find a set of gaskets to fit and seal them, so I replaced what I could to make this fuel pump work again.

The next thing on my list of to-do was to figure out why the fuel gauge wasn’t working. I grounded out the wires to the gauge to make sure it was working properly, but when I removed the sender from the tank, I found the rust on the sender was not passing any voltage to the wiring harness. Rust had gotten between the rivets that secured the electrical contact not allowing any current to flow through the sender. I’ll send this unit out to be completely rebuilt, and we should be back in business!

Here’s the video and test drive of the Ferrari 330GTC. The YouTube videos are starting to get some traction as more people are hearing about them. I’m trying to split my time between creating content to my blog that has been around for more than 25 years, and YouTube/Social Media content. I feel the blog allows me to dive deeper into the repairs than the casual viewership of YouTube, but all the platforms are important to bring Vintage Ferrari Enthusiasts together. Please watch and share my content with your like minded friends so we can keep building this community and grow the next generation!
