What's a 1985 33 1.5 worth for parts in Australia

[Spooty22]

Nice. But that's no sprint. It's just a 33.

Thanx Spooty 22,

On the yellow sticker on bonnet it says Alfa 33 1.5 ~Sprint 1.5 .Family ID 305.26. As I am a newbie what is the difference? Should I be looking somewhere else on the vehicle for exact model?

[Spooty22]

The yellow sticker is the emissions info for the engine. Both the Sprint and 33 used the 305.26 engine, so the sticker states both models. The 305.26 (assuming your engine hasn't been changed) is a twin carb 1.5 modified for unleaded fuel, 70kW. So yours must be a 1986 or model series 1 Alfa 33.

Build Date...Sept '85
on another plate (compliance) ALFA 33 5DR GVM...12/85 What does GVM stand for?

[Finnland]

It's a Alfa 33 Ti QV. The type number is on the firewall and under the carpet in the boot. Should start with 905A2xxxx. Excellent find.

[Alfa Newbie33]

Thanx Finnland,

Actual number starts ZAR905A20 found on firewall.

[Alfa Newbie33]

http://www.alfaclub.org.au/modelc.htm has 905A20 as a Alfa 33 GCL ...It has a green leaf on boot badge.

If engine has been changed how or where would you look on motor etc?

[Alfa Newbie33]

On the rego papers engine number includes AR30520xxxx ....therefore '85 Alfa 33 1.5L Quadrifoglio Verde (green cloverleaf) 105 hp leaded.

[Spooty22]

You can find the engine no. stamped on a flat section of the block just above the oil filter. You'll probably need a torch to read it.

[Alfa Newbie33]

Red line is free to air run...blue is with air filter etc attached.

The Alfa is now registered and back on the road!

Cool, time to update us with some more pics...

[Alfa Newbie33]

All polished up for today..first day registered & back on the road. Happiest above 3,000rpm and luvin it!!

I headed straight for King Edward Park(Newcastle) to put it through the 'hoops' but only at the 40k/h speed limit as it is a public road. This is our club's ( Home Page ) yearly Hillclimb event.

..is a incar vid of me in my entry level Pulsar N13 1.8le #88.
I hope to be doing it this year in the Alfa with only a few mods. The course was shortened due to heavy rain that cascaded across track.
