The pics of the twin plug head show what appear to be small distributors at the front of the cams.

So these are tuner heads, like Conrero or someone, and not Alfa-produced heads?

I don't know if the heads pictured are Alfa or from a tuner such as Conrero. I DO know Conrero did the twin distributor setup on a number of engines.

I'd love to see what was going on under that cam cover, that's for sure.

Re: an interior shot of the twin plug TI, the same book that has the engine shot, also has an interior shot that sports a big Jaeger tach like in the TZ. I assume it's from the same 1963 article on the car.

If anyone could scan a copy of that article that would be just dandy!!

Also any more info on Romeo Ferraris would be appreciated. What other cars did he work on? How did he end up with a name like that? (given the name it's kind of hard to do an internet search

)

Here is the requested pics. I apologize for the quality but remember that these pics are scanned from a book. The book features extracts from period press release (newspaper quality). These pictures in newspaper were resize from original pic...

IMHO, these pics do NOT come from a tuned TI but comes from a genuine TI Super, dashboard and seats being the clue. All this stuff is the exact type and material of the Ti Super.

The tacho seems to be only a later -VERY clean - addition to a genuine TI Super, as the fire extinguisher (or tire kit ? or ??) which is in NO WAY period (let's say mid 80's or beginning of 90's). Who made the transformation is another question...but the Jaeger tacho will not mismatch with the dash of a TZ...

Another funny part is the 750 Giulietta lookalike Gear Knob...(tunnel type tranny case)

What I mean is that there's no relationship in the book b'twin the pics of engine bay (tuned TI) and interior (TI Super).
