Hello All I am brand new to the forum. I have been following for a few discussions for a couple weeks now and decided it would be wise to join and share my experiences here. I bought a '74 Spider in pretty rough shape before Christmas and have been working to bring it back to life since. I...

Hi all, I've been dealing with this issue for a while, and now I finally have the time and funds to tackle this issue. Background: 1977 Alfetta Sport Sedan with a 1981 Spider motor swap after the original motor blew. After the swap (done by local reputable Alfa specialist) I was driving on a...
