Queensland / History of Alfasud Sprint
Last post by Mike K - May 12, 2024, 10:03:06 AMHi
Recently purchased a half completed 79 Sprint project and I am after any info regarding the car.
1979 Alfasud Sprint Veloce 1.5, Silver, last rego 710 KMT 2010
In the paperwork I received with the car the possible last owner was Doug Newall, so if anyone has any info at all it would be appreciated.
Regards
Mike

Last post by Maltalfisti - May 11, 2024, 10:46:27 PMYes, thanks. That's what we've done for the time being.
What was the part number of the original OEM hose?

Last post by Craig_m67 - May 11, 2024, 09:10:08 AMAh no, still ensconced. I just had to move sheds and the collection of parts that once assembled resemble a Duetto. I have a few bits I don't need; 2L engine[1], cams[10548?], gearboxes[2], spare new S2 nose panels, new seat pans[2], old LSD[1]. It's all now literally across the road, I can walk to "work".
So working out what to keep and what to bin/tip (shortly) as the new space is limited and moving stuff that doesn't bring "Joy" is an anathema. So, in the bin!
Thanks VIN for the response, if anybody wants something let me know.
As a side question (as this is years away). What would make a better street motor. Twin spark, ported with carbs/ITBs (usual fruit). Or the 2 litre Nord, ported with carbs, existing 123. I like the idea of the Nord as I can keep my cross over air filter (stock look) but wonder if keeping this intake would defeat any porting/breathing/engine mods. Then I could sell the TS to buy some heritage jenvey jewellery...
I'm after an engine that will make good torque and rev/spin up quickly. I've been ruined by the 1750tbi in the GQV... which possibly needs an oil change, defo overdue a wash (just been used as a Ute) and would be the best retrofit choice if a gearbox (mx5) was available.

Last post by giulia_veloce - May 11, 2024, 06:34:55 AMWell Luke
Lets start with the accelerator pump circuit.
Remove carbys including the carby tray.
With Fuel in the carbys,,,activate the throttle and see how much fuel squirts from both carby accelerator pump jets.
4 jets of fuel.
These are adjustable
Better if you have Pump Jets that squirt straight out of the butterflys and not straight down
Both should squirt the same and stop at the same time.
Did you clean out the accelerator pump jets and the acc pump jet circuit.
Feel free to message me for a phone call to save the texts for more and better understanding

Do I assume you've moved and are no longer ensconced in your high rise apartment?
