Re: Timing marks and dizzy caps

Thanks for the replies, this has been very helpful, car is now running. Now another question, do any of you guys have or know much about the twin pickup distributors.

Re: Timing marks and dizzy caps

The rotor button is in the correct position, pointing towards the drivers side of the car where the number one lead goes to. It's just that the cap has number 4 moulded onto it at that lead and you cannot rotate just the cap.

Re: My 1979 Alfetta GTV

Love the quirky dash of the early ones, with the rev counter only in front of the driver. Nice car, is it a constant battle with rust, or is the climate kind to it over there? The Aussie version has the speedo in front of the driver, not like the Italian version with the rev counter, they have the ...

Re: My 1979 Alfetta GTV

Climate is kind over here but it was given a full rust proofing treatment when first purchased then when I got it I had a bit of rust removed from the rear hatch and rear window edges and then given another treatment to all inner surfaces with a wax based rust proofing. It also very rarely goes out ...

Alfasud TI 1.5 timing belts

Hi All
A friend needs to order new timing belts for his Alfasud TI 1.5
The supplier asked if they are 98 tooth or 100 tooth, I didn't know there where different ones.
Can anyone confirm the correct belt or the reason why there are 2 different options.

Good to be remembered :D It was actually doing the GTV wheel bearings while waiting for water pump and timing belts to show up. All done now. Looking at front camber at the moment, it a bit much after lowering the car. I have shimmed the rears for a little camber to clear the guards with the new whe...
