Re: [alfa] 78 Spider No Staaaaarrrght

Hi Gwynne:

Aurora's listings aren't quite perfect, but the L-Jet ('82-'89 are the 
correct years) wires will work on the '90-'94 Motronic cars.  the wires for 
the Bosch Spiders have a right-angle sparkplug boot, while the Spica/Weber 
wires use a straight boot and also have a much longer coil wire.  The newer 
wires can be used on the older cars, but not vice-versa, as the right-angle 
boots are necessary because of all the intake plumbing over the cam 
cover.  I also changed the coil boot from a straight to right-angle type, 
just because it looked a bit better, but wasn't strictly necessary, and 
Aurora will do that for you before shipping, at your request.  The Aurora 
wires are also a little larger in diameter, so the wire loom that passes 
over the front of the cam cover needed a slight modification, but it was 
very quick and easy.  The Magnecor wires are another alternative that work 
well, and the same caveat applies to the wire loom over the cam cover.

So, has the "new" Spider arrived yet?

Dean
