Does anyone know what kind of threads are on the steering wheel?

I'm trying to make a puller and I haven't been able to find the right one. Thanks!

The headlights in my GTV6 don't work right. The parking lights work fine (except one of the turn signals doesn't come on), but when I turn it to low beams only one of the lights come on. I'm going to check fuses this morning (I was looking at the wiring diagram and that makes the most sense), but wh...

Definitely not race fuel here, so 2.5l it is.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Here's a picture of the casting on the back of the right hand head (next to the firewall). It's not nearly as clear as the one from the link, but its still easy to see. Am I right in assuming that the 2.5 head will not fit on a 3.0 block so this is for sure a 2.5l engine?

Greg, where exactly would it say? Is there anything that I have to remove to take a look?

Would a better picture be helpful?

Thanks!

Well, I just took off the timing belt cover and below the pulley it says 2.5.

I'm a little disappointed because I was told that the 3.0 swap was done, but for the price I payed, it's still definitely worth it.

Thanks for the help!

How do I go about figuring out if I have a 3.0l or a 2.5l?

I got the car from my uncle. It has a new engine, he says it is a 3.0, but it still has the 2.5's plenum. Is there any sure fire way to figure it out?

Thanks!

Sorry about having three posts in a row, but I keep coming up with more questions. 1. I'm redoing the air box because it has some light surface rust on it. Should I use sandpaper to get rid of the rust? Or should I use some kind of grinder? Also, once I have all the rust off, I want to paint it blac...

How can I tell if this really is a 3.0l or if it's still a 2.5l? Thanks!

Well, I've been lurking here for quite some time, so I figure that I might as well introduce myself and my dream car. I'm a high schooler in northwest Washington, and I'll be going to college next year. I got my '83 GTV6 last September, right in time for school to start up. After two months of debat...

I'm trying to restore an '83 GTV6 and need to replace the interior carpet. Are there any good sources out there? The only one that I've found is World Upholstry, but their carpet sets aren't molded (I think). Where else are they available? If I do have to mold it to my car, how much work is required...

Okay, thanks for the help!

I'm only 17, and my Alfa is my second car. I'm just getting started in completely restoring it. My dad's helping me with the basic repairs and the interior, but I still don't know much about the mechanical side. Thanks for all the help!

How can I tell? I couldn't see any pipes on the inside, but I could be wrong. Is there an easy way to tell if its just the heat shield?

Thanks!

Well, then. That's really good news. If you don't think that it'll affect anything, I won't change it. I have way more than enough left to do on the car without worrying about it.

Thanks!

Today I was doing an oil change on my GTV6 and noticed that the down pipe (I think) is crushed at the bottom of the oil pan. It looks like the car hit something and completely smashed them. What can I do to repair this? What new parts do I need? Is this a common problem? I think I remember seeing th...
