I am officially frustrated still

 I replaced the Pertronix and the 308 is running again.  However, it's still running like crap. When I got the car back after the rebuild, the engine ran well off idle but at idle, it was popping quite a bit from the exhaust. I went through the exhaust system looking for leaks and didn't find anything. I fiddled with the carbs and it seemed to help, but the popping was still there. Overall, the car runs ok, shifts great, but is still not tuned correctly.

Years ago, at a tech session, I met Mark Glenwood, the lead mechanic at the local Dealership. Mark as years of Ferrari experience and I recently learned that after a few years on the Ferrari Challenge circuit, he's started his own shop not too car from my house. I'm going to have him go through my 308 to get get things sorted once and for all.

Yep, over two years since the last post

 I don't even remember the last time I went for a drive. I don't remember when it was, but I can't forget what happened. It was a nice day so I decided to drive the 308 to work. On my way home, as I was only a few miles from my garage,  hear a "pop" and lose power followed by a "slow down" light coming on. I've been through this too many times and I know exactly what happened -- I lost a cylinder bank...again.

After it happened, I was so upset and frustrated that I just left the car for a while. I finally decided to do some troubleshooting and the problem ended up being a failed pickup on the Pertronix ignition system. Oddly, the new pickups were red and he previous ones were black. Not sure what that means.

 I can't say that I would recommend Pertronix at this point. The first unit was DOA and the replacement fails after less than 500 miles. If this fails again, I'm going back to points.
