[alfa] Mo MarelliPlex questions

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Those of you with 100% reliable MarelliPlex units, could you please, 
take it apart and tell me the manufacturer's name on the control module 
(the thing under the MarelliPlex coil)?

This is a poll to find out if the GM version of the control module is 
more reliable than the Marelli one.

Right now I have one module made in Taiwan which failed within four 
miles, two GM ones, one of which is acting like the Taiwanese version 
and the other which is somewhat more sporadic in its cutting out. 
However just stole one - the Marelli version - from the unit I intend on 
eventually installing in the '69 Spider (okay, a glutton for punishment) 
and so far, it has gone about 12 miles without any failures. True, it 
was a nippy 85 degrees at the time rather than the usual 95 degrees, but 
still...12 miles uninterrupted without needing to roll down window, wave 
dramatically, and of course, meanwhile turning  on the emergency 
flashers as I push away nasty SUV's and 18 wheelers (size wise, 
virtually the same thing) to get to the other side of the road - though 
we call roads "Freeways" out here in the far West.

Someone, lo those many moons, ago sent me, in essence, a wiring diagram 
for the MarelliPlex. It also included the correct air gap for the 
distributor end of the unit. Need this info if that person, or someone 
who looks a lot like him could send it to me.

From the other posts lately, I'm not the only Alfa driver in the world 
who is suffering from cutting out, but doesn't it just suck to the max 
having to creep along in the truck lanes so one can pull over at the 
drop of a volt or amp (though whatever each of them actually mean in 
real life terms is beyond comprehension)?

Thanking all of you in advance for your erudite input into this burning 
matter,
