Bonjour from Quebec

thumbdoctor · 01-12-2011, 05:48 AM

G'day everyone,

I am new to this forum but not new to Ferrari or toys mechanical. I don't presently own a Ferrari but repair them quite often. I am currently restoring a 1978 308 GTB. Have rebuilt the motor and updated to euro (P6) spec cam re-grinds. I'm rebuilding the dizzies to install a pair of Crane 715-0020 optical triggers in the rear bank distributor supplying 2 Crane HI-6S and 2 PS50 coils. My rational for utilizing one distributor for primary circuit duty is to simplify spark advance treating the engine as 1~8 cylinder instead of 2~4cylinders. Any comments would be welcomed as I intend to keep this car as close to stock appearance but improve some of the weak points (sorry for the pun).
