330 GT Registry |
The 330 GT chassis has a number of places that need to be greased periodically. With that in mind, Ferrari supplied a grease gun along with 2 adaptors as needed. The flexible extension hose is used for most fittings. The short extension is used to grease the U-joint between the differential and the drive shaft. A plug is removed and the extension screwed in. Then the flexible hose is used as normal. After greasing, the extension is removed and the plug is re-installed. This is all necessary as there isn't room for a grease fitting to be mounted on the U-joint permanently.
Ferrari models before the 330 all used button type grease fittings. At some point, Ferrari changed to the Zerk style fittings. The 05/66 parts manual, which came out for the interim (4HL/5 speed) model, shows Zerk fittings at the chassis grease points. So most certainly by 6911, the first interim car, the tool kit would have the hoses for a Zerk fitting. Cars before that would have the appropriate hoses that match the fittings installed on the car.

A car without the air conditioning or power steering options has a single fan belt. On the early cars, it actually turns a fan in addition to the alternator and water pump. The later cars have electric fans, so the belt isn't actually a 'fan' belt. Cars with air conditioning have an additional two belts and power steering adds another two. So if the original owner sprung for all of the options, the toolkit should have 5 belts, two for the A/C, two for the P/S and the last for the alternator. The original fan belt were made by Pirelli and had either cardboard or paper around the center. The belt would also have a Pirelli label on the outside of the belt. The A/C belts were made by Vulco (Vulco Truflex 2405). The P/S belts were made by Continental (Continental Ultraflex 9.5x8.25x700).

Since the cars were equipped with a Fiamm air horn, the toolkit would contain a small plastic bottle in a box with the correct weight oil for the air compressor.
