Ok I have a positive from Bruce.
The aftermarket as in $85+/- seem to be discontinued?
Bruce, and I believe Alfa Parts in Berkley, have some that I believe are Alfa for $250 +/-
So either I cough up the $250, or see if some of the others show up.......
I has some old bagels lying around....... :lol:

I wonder if you could insert some sort of thin smaller tube inside the rusted area and seal it? You would have to be lucky to find the correct material or maybe you could roll something, once you had it fit you could put some sealer on it a put it back in?
Good Luck keep us apprised.

Whew, so far so good on the Combi Relay, the old buggy has been running great. I took the old relay apart and it looked good, however when I ran a piece of a brown paper bag between one set of points it did come out dirty, so I'm wondering??? I'm still carrying a set of jumpers that I made up and DM...

Thanks to those that replied.
It would appear that the problem was the Combi-Relay, was it has been running very well since I replaced it. I have made up a jumper kit to carry in the car in case it does this again.

Sportuner, thanks for your reply.... I have never had Lodge plugs in any of my 6 Alfa’s since ‘71. I have a new Combi-Rely and the car is running great. However I have not driven very far, as I am not sure that the relay is the problem. It has been so sporadic. That is why I want to set up the limp ...

Ok I have a new question. I have been unpluging the combi-relay to check the plugs from the business end. I'm thinking that the unit needs to be plugged in to function, and I should be probing from the back or wire side of the plugs?
Thanks
Charlie :?:

Combi Relay? My book (CarDisk) says that I should be getting a reading with the ignition on at 1) 88Z which I do, :P and 2) 88b which I don't? :evil: In looking at the schematics, it would appear that 88b, goes to injectors 5&6 and pin 29 at the ECU so?? how would I get a reading. In the trouble...

Well the aphids were NOT the problem after all. I was walking again Friday. It starts, runs for a while and stops, sometimes it will catch again, sometimes it will not. I went through most of the items - Temp II, Thermo Time etc. When I got to fuel pressure, I found the problem. I was losing fuel pr...

OK! Alfa Vs. Aphids – Alfa Losses! I believe that I have the found the problem, let me know what you think? 1) I have an aphid problem in the tree above where I park the car. 2) The gooey stuff had gummed the windshield wiper. 3) The windshield wiper control on arm on the steering stalk had been bum...

Starts runs and Stop

The 84 GTV-6 starts, runs for about a minute or? Then the motor dies. It will start again, but only run a moment the dies and won't start again. I have been reading in the archives. 1) I have not done anything yet; I'm going to start with the fuel filter. 2) While I'm at it I am going to change the ...

Stumbling

Thanks for the help. Barry are you talking about shorting out the connection for the sensor that Michael mentioned? I'm confused I checked the sensors etc. Only thing I found was that the vane in the AMF seemed to be catching a little bit. I got the wife's finger nail file in there and cleaned it up...
