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

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

You gots that right Rex -
The only other car that was more aural at start up than our 78 GTS was a 
real Ford GT 40 we got to play with in about 1968.  Stand on the right hand 
criss cross hammock seat, slide down and put the right hand gear shift into 
fifth - get leg between steering wheel and gearshift, settle in, flip the 
first fuel pump toggle switch hear ticka ticka ticka until fuel bowls fill 
up, flip next toggle for main fuel pump - more ticka ticka until it stops, 
turn to the left and on the consol, about where a center gear shift leaver 
is is a small door bell button for the starter.  Hit that once - kaPOW, 
rumpa rumpa rumpa - - - - then try to put clutch in - - -
yeah - wonder where that car is now.  It was in SAD shape then and cost the 
guy 10,000 1968 dollars.  What fool would do that - - - - heh heh
Happy motoring guys
DOUG
