rafael, thanks for replying. If you do talk to the owner of the GT with the TS, please ask him if he had any clearance issues.
Stefano, I'm glad to hear you've finally worked out all of the bugs in your GT/TS. It sounds as if it is a Lot of Fun. Regarding the exhaust: Does the one for the Alfetta GT bolt right up, or is it absolutely necessary to shorten the downpipes I/2"? I have a NOS (Euro) front and center Ansa exhaust - though the rear Ansa section has quite a few miles on it. With the Nord, it tucks up pretty well. I might have mentioned it, but I had flanges welded on so that the three section all unbolt. I've already had it off once and will so again once I find time to install my transaxle with the lightened gears in the tranny. Sure saves time and the hassle of banging the sections apart.
I'm sure you researched out the TS install before going ahead with it. Did you ever consider carbs? I know diddly about electronics and feel if I can get the TS in fairly quickly, the 40 DCOE carbs might be the quickest way to get it up and running.
The engine mounts are the same for both the Alfetta and 75/TS aren't they? Thanks for the tip about reaming out the stud holes on the mounts. Where did you get yours? My fairly fresh ones came from Centerline. My thinking is to just plan on spending the time necessary to do an install of the TS, see if the hood closes, then go from there. I definitely want some extra room for the rocking of the engine - though assume the TS might not rock as much as the Nord.
If the 40 DCOE's will work - no offense - but then I can have a nice Euro air filter, rather than The Cone.
