Re: Overwhelming Petrol/Exhaust Fumes

I get it! In Crazyfornia (California), SMOG testing is a very big deal here, unless the car is as old as the Dinos. I must admit, there is really something pleasant about not smelling like a tailpipe or gas station after a drive. One suggestion... I noticed on the Dino, If I set the carb's to a good...

Re: Another Dino on YouTube

I wonder what year is that video?

These cars are a bit rare, yet they make it into marketing videos. That's a compliment!

Dinoplex 101 Install On Early Cars

http://www.fiatdinoforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=10 This forum is amazing. Surfing around, I came across this article confirming the Factory recommendation of installing the Dinoplex into the early DInos. See link above. Most likely, a search would have turned this up, but I never thought to look for it...

Re: 2400 Spyder Column Switch

Hi Georg, Thank you very much for the help, and sorry for being slow to respond. This need has been resolved. I must say, that is a tough part to come by. We went down several paths with no success, only pieces to the puzzle, and finally we got enough parts to build up a good switch. How we love the...

Re: which Tyres / Tires ?

Just my humble opinion— Any specific issues with the XWX (balance, concentricity, delamination, etc.)? They’re pricey, but so is everything now. I’ve long liked Pirelli CN36, P7, and P6 for their predictable handling and easy balancing. For my Dino I chose XWXs mainly for the period look, and a fres...

Re: 2400 rear brake calliper tutorial

Thanks. it seems the adjuster is slipping at 'full open' (new pads) position. We've been studying it. I wonder if it's just the initial point that the auto adjuster has a problem. May be a thinner pad will expose a better functional zone?

Re: 2400 rear brake calliper tutorial

Working on a 2400 Spyder rear brakes. The hardware has been restored by reputable shop. Work looks very nice. The issue the left calipers park brake does not work. It does not lock the disk. The mechanisms on the bench works fine. The pad with the spud engages the channel in piston cleanly. One obse...

Re: 2.0 Liter Stalling at Stops

+1 on float height! It's actually quite sensitive. 0.25mm (.010") can be noticed when positioning the mixture screws. Also, you may notice a flat spot on acceleration and sputtering when backing up.

Take your time on this one.
