Yep!

I think it is from the wipers too...

Good to have it! (if it works!).

15hp more will definitely cure those SLOW wipers ;)

The engine is the heart of an Alfa Romeo. So replacing it with whatever kind of other engine is simply a sign of totaly not understanding what Alfa Romeo is about. :x Perhaps only a Ferrari engine is accaptable. He was an Alfa Romeo mechanic after all... I totally agree! It is very wrong :evil: It ...

Well... the 155 and the 105 GTV have some years between them! I agree a 155 bumber would look horrific! Any bumper actually! These cars (105) should be bumperless :P Whereas the GTV6 and the 75 co-existed (just) and are structuraly the same! The bumper mounting points are the same! I don't think it ...

I did the stupid thing and watched this video at night before I go to bed... Well... I ended up in the garage promising her (81 gtv6) that I'll put her back on the road ASAP. Went back to bed but there was too much adrenaline in my system to manage to get a nap! This morning I took my 3L 75 (off roa...

Hi Murray, I don't have much experience with V6 rebuilding (not just yet!!!). I have just taken apart the heads from the block. So since no one has responded yet, I thought to keep you some company here and try the guessing game! So... No 2,3,4 (and/or) may be for the hydraulic-tensioner??? I can't ...

The wires are: yellow, purple and yellow-black. I checked the heater unit (still ...

Marco, Thanks a lot for your in-depth research in the speedo technology! So, what type of gearbox-sensor do you have installed in your 90? A gtv6 or a 75 box? I have also read the old topics but I cannot recall a PROPER solution to the incombatibility of the GTV6-75 senders-speedos. Some people seem...
