Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GTB running again,, heart rate up!!

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Way to go Gavin - um, does your 308 have one or two ignition distributors? 
Ours has two - which makes it effectively two four cyl engines with a common 
crank.  Ol Ferrari Bubba's '208' has one - its a Euro model.  We are going 
Pertonix with an electronic package for advance timing.
Onward

So the ol RR doesn't get the heart pounding?  Hmmmm - perhaps she was built 
to LOWER blood pressure with her silent presence?  heh heh  yeah - Ferrari = 
string back racing gloves, the RR = gray softest calf skin button downs 
gloves.  Swooooosh off to your next appointment
