Re: [alfa] Changes in the 2 liter block

["Jim Steck" <4sfed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

You're looking at the differece between a 1750 and 2 liter block.  The oil
passage is the same from 1972 through the last of the aluminum twinsparks.
There may be some differences in stud length, but All U.S. 2 liter timing
covers can be interchanged . . . I used a Spica timing cover on the
twinspark conversion in Ken Wears GTV.

Regards,
Jim Steck
