Are you talking about the entire system, as if you are converting back to fuel injection from carburetors?

Hi John

Yes. SPICA was removed by someone else so i don't have a clue as to what goes where.

The TA hookup The middle mounting bracket should be installed last. It is a semi-fragile unit so be careful.

Need Help on 1975 SPICA Spider

I have a 1975 Spider. I have three problems. One is on a butterfly gate (missing a set screw for top) that is part of a bypass choke (vaccum actuated?) on the air intake. The Vaccum rubber tube is disconnected and as I said the butterfly sits there wobbly since the top set screw is missing. Any photos of what this screw looks like and how it should be set?

I have no hose attached to the bypass tube which I see in many photos runs across the top of the engine to the opposite side. Where does this hose go to and to what does it connect on this "other side"? Any photos of the other side of the engine where this hose ends up?

Thirdly, I have the button-head for what once was the throttle rev-up for cold starts that comes out on the driver side of the console end. But there is no cable within the console and I can't find where it would come out of the firewall. Is this something that was put in for carburated Alfas and removed for SPICA units? Otherwise where does the cable connect? I was read that by turning this it held in place for cold revs of the engine. Is this true? Any photos of this button-head, cable, throttle attachment assembly?

Thanks in advance.

Start a new thread on this problem instead of putting it in this one.

It'd be very helpful if you took a picture of what you're talking about because you're not using the correct nomenclature for the parts. Take a few pictures and I can tell you what's missing or routed incorrectly.
