I recently swapped them out for the period campy parts... for how long I don't know...
i would suspect that a backyard mechanic would have trouble tuning a Ferrari GTO, yet properly tuned they will perform excellent. GTOs were not marketed to Impala owners and Deltas were not marketed to the casual cyclist.
