Interested in what books are suggestables for restoring an 81 Alfa Spider...?...as well, anyone know anything on the following book:
ORIGINAL ALFA ROMEO SPIDER

Similar question goes to what books are alfabb.com participants using as historical references on the fab autos...?...thus far, I have the following on order:

Alfa Romeo Spider, 1955-1986 (Schiffer Automotive Series)

much thanks in advance...

You can't go wrong with Pat Braden's books. They are not shop manuals but will give you some good advice about the care of an Alfa.

I also have a copy of the Alfa Shop Manuals on CD from Car Disc. It also includes the Owner's Manual, TSB (Technical Service Bulletins) and even copies of period advertisements.

Finally, you'll find this BB a great resource. Use the search function to find BTDT's (often with pictures) of many common & even uncommon Alfa repairs & upgrades. A USA model Spider will have (or had) SPICA Fuel Injection. Scroll down to the Carbs & FI section for some vital info about the SPICA system.
