Well... I cant find the picture, BUT, as it happens I've got a spare one in my 75 at the moment, which I bought for a friends GTV6.

I can take a picture of it later and post it for you.

They are the same as GTV6 and Alfa 90

We've replaced the fuel injectors and the fuel pressure regulator.

Still trying to get my head around where the ignition timing is at, AFAIK with it being so far out it shouldn't run but it does, and altering it by turning the dizzy makes it run worse, not better;


Cam timing;

But with the engine DTI'd to TDC on 1, this is where the ignition timing is at;

So ? If thats number one, put your 1st cylinder's spark plug at that point !

It could be just a matter of someone messing with the spark plug leads.

Your firing sequence should be 1 4 2 5 3 6

Start from spark plug 1 at where your rotor arm is aiming

Thanks for taking the time to pass on the info but I knew it should be point at 1. It was running on 6 when I bought it and then it dropped onto 5. I didn't do anything to it that would cause this. We've reset the timing and it's now back on 6 and running better than it ever was... It's just bizzare.
