Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 fuse box

[Grahame Reinthal (grahame]

Hi all,

 

The fusebox arrangement on my 308gt4 used to play up and do weird stuff so I replaced the 2 sections with blade fuse boxes. It was quite easy and cost about $20 and took a couple of hours all up. So, it's not original, but who care - it works and only I know it's not the real deal (i.e. you know, the original, 1/3rd of a century old, really unreliable, melting and potentially fire hazardous real deal). But then again, I'm not really a stickler for total originality - I think Enzo wouldn't mind a little bit of tinkering and updating here and there.

 

Cheers,

 

Grahame

Hello Christian –

Being stranded is NO fun.  Our dual dizzy 308GTS’ aft dizzy started acting funny to the extent it would drop out the aft cylinder bank.  Stranded.  $%&*%*(*(^

 

I solved my problem with Pertronix set up.

 

For fuses – Here is a guys web site.  “Birdman’s Ferrari Parts”   Cool site

During the recent 328 assessment thread someone mentioned the 328 fusebox issue.  A friend of mine has a 1986 328 that is beginning to suffer from the fusebox cold solder failures.  The first time it caused issues with the fog lights which was not a big deal.  Round two of the electrical gremlins involved the fuel pump which led to the car being stranded in the median strip for an hour and a half while waiting for AAA to find someone willing to flatbed a Ferrari.  The mechanic has been able to make several repairs to the fusebox to keep the 328 on the road this season but I fear that they are only temporary fixes.  Is there a long-term fix or replacement for the 328 fusebox?

Most sincerely,

Christian
