[alfa] Spica / Lucas F. I.

[John Hertzman <giovannisvedese@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Biba mentioned "I was absolutely positive the 33 Stradale had a Lucas 
Fuel Injection System, but after checking..." came up  with a "Bottom 
line, the 33 uses the 'twin' Spica unit similar to the Montreal." For 
clarification it should be worth mentioning that the 33/2 Sport 
Prototipi did use the Lucas system, while the detuned road   version 
("Stradale") used the Spica.  Biba was mostly right at both ends, if a 
little off at both ends. Close enough for full credit.

The other changes between the Prototipi and the Stradale were 
relatively modest; the wheelbase was stretched 100 mm, compression 
ratio increased from 10:1 to 11:1, peak power from 230 @ 8800 to 270 @ 
9600, and the civilizing of the bodywork and interior increased the 
weight from 580 kg to 700  kg, still 290 kg lighter than a Duetto.

Enjoy ypurs,
