Well after much searching I now have a nearly complete toolkit for my car thanks to a fellow BBer, just missing the tommy bar if anyone has one.

I do however have the choice of two bags. I have one that is like the army bag canvas and one that is a much coarser burlap type material. Which is more correct for a 66 Super? I will either keep the other for my 67 GT Veloce or offload on ebay to whence it came...

Gear oil - The FAQ in this forum suggests suggests Red Line 75W90NS as transmission fluid, but is this the gear oil I want to use in the rest of the car? Is Shell Spirax still best when it can be found?

Brake fluid - Beyond using DOT 3 is one brand better than the other?

Clutch fluid - I want to flush and refill the system, but I don't see any factory recommendations. Is clutch fluid clutch fluid? ]]> Spider (1966-Up) flamebero http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/spider-1966-up/170403-fluids-lubricants.html rebuilt ts engine missing http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/milano-75-1987-1989/170402-rebuilt-ts-engine-missing.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 05:49:37 GMT sorry had to start new thread. my 1989 alfa 75 ts engine is missing when about 3000 rpm, almost like its hitting the limiter. things i have check, cam timing (good), spark timing (good), I think the fuel might be a problem but it runs fine to about 2200 - 2500. there are some odd relays but... sorry had to start new thread. my 1989 alfa 75 ts engine is missing when about 3000 rpm, almost like its hitting the limiter. things i have check, cam timing (good), spark timing (good),

I think the fuel might be a problem but it runs fine to about 2200 - 2500.

there are some odd relays but everything was fine before i took it apart. usual story lol. it will not go past this 3000 rpm either.

i drove it for 10 minutes with the beeping sound on, turned it off, drove it again for another 10 minutes still with the sound, let the car rest for an hour and then drove it again and the sound was gone!

any reason or is this just one of those alfa quirks that happen end it fixes itself?

It starts easily, runs well, has working A/C, (134a conversion), and has been extremely reliable. It has many upgrades but as is typical of these cars, the body has rust.

Motor: 3.0 liter V6, with 10:1 compression pistons, and the better factory "s" cams.

Trans: Limited slip trans axle taken from a Milano Verde.

A/C: Blows cold and has not been recharged in over a year.

**** IMPORTANT****** OZ Racing Rims on car are EXTREMELY RARE AND SORT AFTER. I have already been offered $1000 for the rims and they need trueing and refinishing. (approx. $500 job). When they were restored last, I was offered $2000 for the 4 wheels. ALFA ROMEO offerd these wheels as a factory upgrade in the early '80s.

Bumpers are complete and unmolested. Last set I sold as nice as these fetched $400.

Speedo is out of a late '86, and works seemlessly with the later Milano Verde Transmission. Again, this is extremely rare and sort after.

Radiator was rodded in the last 2 weeks.

Battery is 5 months old.

Brakes work well, and upon depressing pedal, do not pull left or right.


These cars are appreciating in value every year. If restored , they fetch between $8- 12K.


This would make a great restoration project, or could be used as a good parts car. PLEASE ONLY CALL IF YOUR R E A L L Y INTERESTED. CAR CAN BE TEST DRIVEN BY APPIONTMENT.


$2750 O.B.O.

I have exhausted my search of local auto shops, google searches for suppliers as well as BB threads searches. Help!
Does anyone have a resource or functional solution to replace the ??diaphragms- dust covers?? Located under the ball joints on the wiper linkage?
All 4 (2 large, 2 smaller) have perished.

I do not know enough about their functional tolerances to determine an adequate alternative. And my parts manual seems to have conveniently omitted their existence.

Thanks for any input or suggestions.

During a very rare idle hour today I was able to attempt the airbag light reset procedure using various very detailed write-ups from the BB.

Our "condition" appears to be different in that the air bag light is off when the ignition key is turned on but the starter is not yet cranked.
When the car starts and settles to idle speed all the other lights go off as expected and after about 20 seconds the air bag light comes on slowly from dim to bright.

Any ideas?

Ta,

Neville. ]]> donliznev http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/164-168-1991-1995/170392-air-bag-warning-light-not-blinking.html
