Alfa Pages

It is indeed.

I know of a very nice one in Glasgow that is now for sale. Bright(!) red cloverleaf.

good luck Ade, have you had much practice using the dog box yet?

measured the adaptor today, its not symetrical so your box wouldn't fit unless you flipped it upside down! I'm looking for 220 for the carbs, they're very good condition, only ever been on a race car ...

had another think about the wishbones. the extra compliance bush isn't that uncommon, remember rwd Escorts? I seem to remember some Fiats being like that as well.

sounds like you must be about ready to fire her up!

just had a re-think, the adaptor is for a hewland mk8/9 ie upside down beetle! so might not be any good unless the bolts are in the same place. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

hi, I have an adaptor plate for a v/w gearbox if you're interested. It's a bit hand knitted but does work! I've also got a dizzy that would do you and a nice pair of 45 dellortos that would be perfect ...

Don't know why they did it like that. No other Alfas are like that at all. The only other fwd Alfa as opposed to Fiat based ones is the 164 which has a similar strut layout but conventional solid low ...

even if it will phisically fit, which I doubt cause the pinion won't line up with the hole in the bulkhead, it would need a lot of concentration to drive! if you turn the wheel left the car will turn ...

They are fronts, they are for 8v boxer engined 145/146s. the 16v boxer and all twinspark cars had vents.

ahmotorsports may be many things but "affordable" isn't one of them!

good luck Ade, have you been down to ahm for the gearset yet ? and if so what's it like.

the bush in the end of the gearbox extension isn't really to hold the gearbox rigidly in place but more to transfer crash loads to the chassis to stop the footwells crushing in the event of a head on ...

check for worn cam lobes first very common and will give exactly these symptoms.

hi, yes I did buy Stan's engine to get the rods in it for my 16v! It will be a hillclimb/sprint car when I finally get round to it.
I haven't used any of Adie's bits, all I did was buy a set of s/h c ...

hi, unless you buy the full kit ie with valves, springs, caps etc the followers Adie sells won't be any good. He uses longer valves and followers without stems. None of the stuff can be fitted on its ...

inlet cams have one fat lobe and one pointy one per cylinder, exhaust cams have 2 pointy ones!

hi, I think that the clio williams /19 16v ones are the ones you are referring to. I don't think they all have solid lifters and even the ones which do aren't that suited to high revs because they are ...

measurements are about right but your calculation is wrong Embarassed

What you have calculated is the ratio of swept volume to static volume, not the compression ratio.
cr is the ratio of uncompressed v ...

Let's see it then!!

We want some pics

as title, mounted on a pair of modified (lengthened) 8v manifolds. they are fitted with 36mm chokes, alloy trumpets and are in VERY good condition. 300 pounds.

hi, as title, looking for 2 pairs of identical 40mm carbs, either dellortos or webers,as long as they are all the same.

Edward, I had a look at the workshop manual after we spoke this evening and it is only the big end bearings that have 2 different "standard" sizes. The mains are all the same thickness, so t ...
