All, I ordered from amazon and got the gates hose but says on the sleeve not for fuel injection, even though I thought I ordered his: https://www.gates.com/us/en/fluid-p...e.p.4219-000000-000000.v.4219-05652.html I want the added strength of the injected hose..... Now I got lots of hose I cant...

All, On that gates Barricade hose, is the SAE J30R14T2 better than SAE J30R9? Its a bit confusing to me..... What is the consensus, is that better than the continental stuff? Rob

All, That is why I am replacing it, this car has braided OEM hose which is failing, having lasted about 3 years. Unlike rubber hose, this stuff doesn't show problems because of the braiding, with so many carbs I have to be safe, and my "serious" car show days are over! (actually they only...

HA, yes but the real oil and gas guys are over here!

Friends, I have an old Ferrari and was using the Goodyear J30R9 hose which had a blue nitrile liner. I ordered some from Autobarn and they sent me Continental hose which does not have a blue liner and had some negative reviews I read. Is the Goodyear hose I am looking for still available and if...

On the Ferrari 308 GT4 the filter is upside down, and has a standpipe, most of use use the Baldwin. How would you go about pre-filling a filter with a standpipe that is mounted right side up or in most cases upside down! Rob

Dear Freinds, I finally got my car back together after some exciting moments. Anyway it is running great. I decided on Redline 15/50 mainly because I am using the redline gear oil and I like it and it is close here in CA. I am very disturbed by the thinness of the oil even after a hot shutdown...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I did not want to start an argument here. I just want the best oil for my car. Pablo was kind enough to offer advice and I appreciate it. I think I am going to switch to a synthetic but still on the fence. I will probably stay with what i switch to so i want to...

I know you guys have made some great suggestions but i am leaning towards redline 10/40 and was curious if the amsoil was superior to redline. What is the difference between the two? Thanks

Baldwin was a ferrari sponsor in the 60's and continues to make an unbelievable filter for many Ferrari still. The other filters fram and UFI are put to shame by this Baldwin. http://www.baldwin.corpmerchandise.com/ProductDetail.aspx?did=2111&pid=82034 I had no stake in this I just kept...

Thanks for all the info and suggestions guys, The engine is a 3 liter DOHC V8, with flat plane crank, rubber timing belts, 4 weber carbs and standard ignition. I has the bucket and shim valve train, with the shim on top. That shim looked fine . I think maybe the conensus is the hardening is...

it was 80 degrees here saturday. Winter is warmer than summer. I never have stored the car except during this service and the cam was off lobe for 6 months till i removed it 6 months ago. I found an old post I made asking the same question 5 years ago. I am intrigued by this Brad Penn Stuff, is...

I guess I should have taken your advice 5 years ago............
