Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512 TR engine swap

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Clyde notes “Ferrari tends to update stuff and never say anything until you get the new part!  So always have a parts book”

 

Clyde makes a good point here.

 

I have all, well, most (about 10 linear feet) of the paper manuals.  Mostly starting with the 1976 308’s.  Started collecting with eBay when it was new and DVD’s were not.

 

I will be glad to share any info or look up anything for our happy family.

 

Secondly about the “ Ferrari tends to update stuff and never say anything - - - “  Well, I am of the opinion that when the parts guys asks for the VIN, me, as the unsuspecting customer, is happy to share this info with the parts guy who is no doubt younger than my car.  But back to the opinion – I was under the mis- thought process that if there was an update the parts guy didn’t want to mix my old part up with the new part - Questo è stato il pensiero molto sbagliato [that was VERY wrong thinking.

It’s not that – No such thing as a bin of the old stuff and a bin of the new stuff.  All they want to do is mark my request NLA.  *&^%&^%(?)!

Alas –
