Your content is always so genuine. Things that work right, things that don't. There are so many "hollywood" channels that just get tiresome. You stuff is unique and one of a kind. You're doing it for the right reasons - because it's what you want. And that's the most important thing. I always look forward to another Tom video when they come out. Thank you for not coming out with 30 minute videos. You're are just right. Cheers!

For enthusiasts who like to keep a sharp eye on whats going on in the big picture, your weekly episodes are like 'Your Daily Bread' . I think this is a pious religious expression but I feel it applies here too. Keep up the good work. BTW I am still running the original 1967 Bendix canister pump on my 'whip' (hardy har-har). I did change it out for the facet replacement as a preventive excercise, But it does not sing the thump thum thump chorus. It has this barren whirring sound instead, ummm Nope - reinstalled the rightful inhabitor of that position and smile every time I hear the beat. Also the transistor (?) circuitry in the updated pump is very sensitive to voltage, requiring a minimum around 12, which my car was just ever so slightly below for the random cold start. Knowing how the carbs evaporate the fuel so quickly after shutdown with modern fuel injection optimised blends this would result in a no start, so just another plug for rock solid reliable simplicity of the original breaker point mechanism in the old school Bendix thumpers. Another BTW ... Happy Summer Solstice !!

My Alfa has those same open ceramic fuses. My suggestion which has worked well for me is, buy a little bottle of CAIG DeoxIT. I use the red solution with a small brush in the cap. Clean the fuse contacts and dab a little solution onto them and reinstall the fuses. Mine have never oxidized again in nine years. Love the content.

My father bought a new 250 GTE (then called the 2+2) Series one in 1962 from Brundage Motors, later to become Brumos. Mr Brundage also bought a 250 SWB steel body at the same time and sold that locally in Jacksonville also. Should not have done it but my teenage brain kept the plug wrench when the car was sold in 1965 and I still have it. Your videos are great and I hope you keep it up. Thanks

@@tomyangnet Do not know the serial number but Masini or the factory would know because the buyer of both cars was H. L. Brundage who had a regional distributorship for VW and a VW/Porsche retail dealership. He was probably thinking of doing a Chinetti South but those were the only two he bought as far as I know. He died in a freak accident on a motor scooter in his own driveway not long after and Peter Gregg bought the dealership and that led to Brumos Racing.

Tom, great, a fuse box that is actually maintainable, love it. Another informative episode, personally I subscribe, learn and take interest because the work is on real cars, as opposed to the everyday cars currently on the road. Vintage Ferrari, Alfa, and Lancia, even a smaller number of Fiat examples hold a very special place in the industry which other manufactures of the day could not capture, with the possible exception of Jaguar and Aston Martin. These cars are historically significant, and a better understanding of their details is important, thanks so much for taking the time to produce this series. KZfaq, well thats a whole mystery on to itself, suffice to say “the content is important, not the stats” Thanks again.

I think that's why I prefer to work on old Ferraris. They were still made with parts that can be serviceable. I could see the change through the years as the components they used started using more plastic and cheaper materials. I'm always amazed how expensive the new Ferraris are, and yet underneath the leather and carbon fiber, the materials are pretty cheap. I'm glad you appreciate the content!

Hello Tom. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. I am a subscriber and have been for some time now. I look forward to your new videos and they take top viewing priority to me. I watch several hours of youtube everyday. It is very interesting as an classic car owner (1975 Lamborghini Urraco) to be provided with the insight to these cars that you provide. I actually repair and maintain my car myself, so your videos are of great value to me. It is surprising to me that your subscription base is not much larger and that you don't get more views and likes. I also subscribe to Tyrrells Classic Workshop on youtube. His channel also features repair maintenance and restoration of older European exotic cars, but with perhaps more production content. I prefer your channel as you provide much more "how to" advice, which is what I'm really hungry for. I really hope that more "hands-on" classic car enthusiasts like myself who love these beautiful machines learn about your channel and you get the youtube recognition you deserve. Please keep the excellent content coming and I'll keep watching, liking and recommending your channel to likeminded people like me!

Hey Tom, I really enjoy and find your videos enlightening and extremely useful. So please do keep them coming. Now for a small suggestion. Let's say someone needs to see some videos of this sort, but does not know of you but searches for classic Ferraris. I think you should always start the heading of your videos with '' Classic Ferrari Electrics Trouble shooting'' instead of this heading you used here. This way, I should think that you could have a much wider audience. Good luck.

Love the channel, great content. Also, shows us that Ferraris are „just cars,“ too. I also love hearing about why they did things the way they did etc. Like the video where you compared different engines, inside plug 250, outside plug and 330. by the way, what are the differences between the numerous engine type they made, for example, among the 250s or 330s, apart from obvious things like inside plugs with 3 inlet channels to outside plugs with 6 or more carburetors, did they also change the camshafts, valve sizes, and other aspects of the engines as they evolved or for different models (for the 250s, for example, did a GTE and a Lusso and a SWB habe the same engines or were they different and how?) Were the clutches different? How long does a clutch last, btw., if you’re really good with it?
@tomyangnet
@tomyangnet Ай бұрын
The Ferrari engines evolved through the production and the 250 engines seemed to change the most. Although the bore and stroke might have been the same in the 250 engines, comp engines had stronger head studs, larger valves, and hotter cams. GTOs had dry sump and different plumbing. The early engines had mouse trap valve springs which were replaced with conventional coil springs. There was a lot of rolling changes to the street engines throughout the 250 enignes, but by the time they got to the 330s, the specs were very similar. I think all 330 engines (except for the 330GT0) , had the same camshafts and three carb induction. The clutches changed from a three finger clutch to a diaphragm clutch later on. Clutches last as long as most any 60s era car, your results may vary! Thanks for watching!
