Title: alfa 164
Post by: fazz164 on July 12, 2019, 04:24:31 PM
Hi All, how can I tell from either VIN/CHASSIS number, or, engine number, what version of 164 I have? I have 2, one is a 1989 that I have registered and use for sprint days, the other is a 1992 model which I am querying. It is in much better condition and garaged. I'd  like to know what model it is, ie, QV, or otherwise,
  Cheers, Robert.

Hi,


The QV's had a 3.0 quad cam 24 valve V6, and were all manual I think.

The Q's had a 3.0 12 valve V6, some were manual, and they have hydraulically adjustable shock absorbers.

This is about all I know, anyone please correct me if I have stated something incorrect.

Mick.
