Question for other '71 Spider owners
I will be needing to replace my underhood decals, and I'm wondering if the other '71 owners here have the same yellow lubrication decal I have. Based on other things the PO has done, I don't know if I trust the decal until I get some verification. Here's what I have; thanks for the help:

I don't currently own a 71 Spider, but I would be very surprised if your car had anything different from any other 1750 Spider. Note that this sticker has a 105.48 part number, which is a 1750 Berlina part number, probably used on all the 1750s. Is this a US-market car?

Bob,
I think the green got its start in 73. Black around 78. I think the yellow is correct. It is fairly close in design to the 73 I have on file.
Best Regards,
John M

My '70 Euro spec 1750 does't have any under hood decals, probably removed when resprayed, but the Owner Handbood only mentions 20W-40 motor oils, the rest is simelar.
But I haven run it's freeshly reconditioned engine on 10W-40, 15W-40 and 20W-50, and only with 20W-50 it's nearly oil tight, consumption is very little and probably not affected by the which oil is used, but leaking is.
It seems that many owners recomends GL4 trans oils.
By the way, 105.48 is the engine code on euro spec 1750 engines.

Okay, I've got another question for '71 owners: What other decals are there in the engine compartment? I've got a white one dealing with emissions, I believe (the car is still in the shop or I'd go check), but I don't think I have any others, and I suspect some are missing.

Would there have been something for the coil or elsewhere for the ignition system? For the coolant? Anything else? The '71s were a transition year (in the US anyway), so I half expect that some decals were carried over from the last roundtails.
