105 vs 115 is the first three digits of the VIN. Early examples (I think all round tails and perhaps very early kamm tails?) are 105, later 115. Pretty sure your '74 will be a 115. Anyhow, commonly referred to as the 105/115 series. Most parts are interchangeable.

As far as a shop manual goes, you can order one all printed out from Centerline, IAP, etc. Or you can get a big collection tailored for your car including service manual, owners manual, part manuals, tech bulletins, etc. etc. etc. free in electronic form from the Alfa Romeo Owners Club - ask for the "all-in-one":
Alfa Romeo Owners Club USA - Manuals
I have both - sometimes it's nice to have the printed copy in from of me when I'm working on the car.

Chain Tensioner Wedge
Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)When I took the head off my 74 Spider, I discovered that the chain tensioner wedge was not in the tensioner.

The top on my 71 Spider is too tight
Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)I bought a 71 Spider over the winter. I recently attempted to put the top up, but can't get it to reach other than to just barely engage the clamps, leaving a good inch or two to go. I'm told leaving it in the sun helps and then "applying some muscle". The question is where exactly does one...- 10

What did you do Alfa Spider related today?
Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)I noticed that the 164 & 168 guys have a very active thread about what they've been up to, and I think us Spider guys and gals need to get with the program- so I'm gonna start and see what happens! Today was a very good day! It was a beautiful warm, clear day in South Florida, and I'm sorry to...- 2K
