    I remember working at a tech in a USAF electrical equipment lab and would get stuck. I'd eventually have a collegue come over and see what I had missed. He'd usually spot the problem right away. And I'd do the same for him once in a while. We seem to get blinded from time to time, yet there can be so many possibilities that it can be quite helpful to have someone else with fresh eyes have a look.

    • @Ratarossa
      @Ratarossa  6 місяців тому +5

    Ian's reaction when he saw you car was the same reaction when I sold my Caterham to him ( he bought the car for his son ) ......His son had to remind him it was an ex race car and not a concours Ferrari. Seen his 308 at Salon Prive amazing car. Genuine Ferrari enthusiast and when I get mine I would have no hesitation to take it to Barkaway,

    Ian is spot on, italian mechanics is usually bombproof, it goes for Fiat, Alfa, Maserati, etc. Its the electrics & plastics that’s sometimes frail. Engines, gearboxes, rear diff’s, they last forever. Thats where the germans still got a lot to learn!

    Re the blue concourse car: My dad's best friend, David Gatehouse was the boss at Huddersfield Garages during that period and it's likely that he ran that car. I may even have been in it as a kid as he'd often visit and take me for a spin. I always used to get in the Ferrari motor show stands as a boy, happy days.

    Very glad you sorted out the problem and, what an amazing workshop Barkaways is! They even have an extremely rare Alfa Romeo Giulia SS of the early 60s (or at least is what seems to me on minute 22'12"). Only a few hundreds of them were built at the time and a lot less still survive nowadays.
    Happy Christmas Scott!

    Great to see the car getting back to the way it should be. All of us have mis-wired a distributor, it happens. Glad it was an "easy" fix.

    @CrankAddict 6 місяців тому +3

    Plug wires! I bought a '41 yacht a few years ago that wouldn't run and needed two new 454s. apparently the "marine" mechanic routed the wires wrong because the factory had the two engines swapped (one spins CW and the other CCW). When I realized the issue, I put the wires where they belonged and both engines fired. Its been a good boat since.

    couple of things from my very amateur restoration knowledge, those pipe clamps are what should be on any car, you shouldn't use jubilee clips on fuel hoses. The "double ear" clamps are what's supposed to be used. Also to protect alloy cases, I use ACF-50..stays like a film, but stops alloy and bright metal oxidising..

    Ian's 308 looks amazing in that blue colour, I am so glad that he managed to get your 308 figured out, there is no shame in having an expert fix your problem, and if they put the valve covers on like that, well if you didn't have the manual how would you know it was wrong. I like that silver car also, with a good poliish on it, it would look good. Whoever gets that silver 308 will be lucky after all the work you and Ian put into it to fix the issues. I am enjoying the builds you are doing as you switch between them. Keep up the good work, glad you have a new garage to do some work in compared to just at home.

    I am currently restoring my very low mile 25yr old vehicle. Restoration can be so infuriating, never mind the availability of parts. So, this situation with the plug wires doesn't surprise me in the least. Personally I am almost completed, nearly there, and that seems to be the sticking point. Good luck on the BBI Scott, I so look forward to you completing it and sending it on to a new owner for a substantial cheque. I swear if its not a closed course its too dangerous to hazard pottering about the highways and byways.

      I’ve been collecting and restoring old Pontiac GTOs and Firebirds for 45 years. My parts collection over the years is pretty plentiful, and what I don’t have on the shelf I can get relatively easily. I just picked up a 1968 Chrysler 300 a few weeks ago. Ummmmm Parts for this thing are pretty scarce! Like a nice lower Rocker molding for the passenger side. None around worth buying, and no repops anywhere. Chrysler emblem for the trunk lid. Upholstery is not a problem, but little things like seat hinge covers. Nope! This thing is a true unicorn! Parts swap meets is my best alternative for weird parts! Hopefully someone doesn’t know what they have, as you can pretty much name your price!

    Well simple fix. Always when you fix cars you thing its some major or something 1 of kind fault, but no just go to basics like fireing order, make sure you have fuel and injectors work/carb so on. Engines are quite simple afther all. Last one i took every possible stuff/electrics out from my mb slk , and fix were just one loose wire in box :)

    As I learned from Bob Wallace here in Phoenix, you get rid of old crap and install new. The idea of trying to revive aa 308 by tracking one wire, then another was doomed to failure.

      Well, I don’t. I come to every video and watch it all the way through just so I can make very specific criticisms in the comments.
      For example, there were not nearly enough whales in this video, and he didn’t mention dolphins even once.

    Hey Scott...Breathe a sigh if relief...You also knew It had to be something stupid (You had trouble shooted and swapped out everything else !! ;D) and no fault of yours it was, You would naturally assume that the leads were correct and not on back to front...Anyhoops all good put a few miles on and down the road she goes (with a clear conscience!) Nicely done Ian you did Scott proud!

    This is a common problem when fixing anything.
    Don't assume anything, no matter who worked on it before, always start at the top again and check the entire chain piece by piece. Never assume that something is working correctly.
    But sometimes we can't see the wood for the trees and we can't see the problem even though it's staring us right in the face. An outside perspective is sometimes the best answer.
