I'm Guillaume, I leave in Paris. I've just bought a Fiat Spider CS2. Since there is not a lot of Fiat 124 in France, I'm looking for good advice, especially how to install a 34 ADF + Intake Manifold on this car.
Thanks for your help!

Salut le mec!! 
I spent 4 years in France (y a 22 ans depuis
) and I didn't see a single 124. good find!
Do you already have the 34adf & manifold?
and of course, most importantly: ou sont les photos? tout le monde veut les voir!

I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!

Welcome!!
We too have a '80 (carb) Spider. Not sure of your emissions testing requirements in France but a popular upgrade in the USA is to lose all the smog pumps, hoses etc, install a single plane (1800) manifold and suitable carb and a free flowing exhaust such as the 4-2-1 version from the FI Spider.....you may not actually have these restrictions to overcome.
Beyond that you are looking at a world of adventure....and potential cost.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I've started the conversion, I've just done for a first test the installation of the 34ADF on the stock manifold. It works fine, already better than the previsous carb.
I've block the emission port, but I don't know what to do with the brake booster link. Do I leave it on the black box (fuel vapor filter stuff) ? because the carb as nomore link to this box..
Thanks a lot.
PS: I'm trying to add some picture but don't know how

Re: French Member
here is how to upload your pictures
This is a procedure that RRoller123 has been developing for a little while on how to post pictures here in the Forum. Hope it is useful, and comments are always welcome.
HOW TO POST PICTURES IN FIATSPIDER.COM
Well that picture-posting thing sure is confusing. Took me forever to figure it out. Here is what I do:
First, you must post your pictures on photobucket.com or one of the similar competing websites. You can't post pics directly from your computer. So set up a free account there first. The instructions here reference photobucket.com.
Then in your FS.com post, look for the "Img" box at the top of the post, #9 from the left in the row of command icons.
Put the cursor where you want the pic to appear in the post (leave a few spaces after text is a good idea) and click the "Img" button/icon above.
Then go to the photobucket.com site (or competitor) and find your pic. Hover the cursor over the pic and a drop down menu will appear. Then click the "Direct Link" or similar button. In Photobucket, it will respond with a "copied" indication.
Go back to your FS.com post and make sure the cursor is EXACTLY in between the 2 Img boxes: [img](cursor%20in%20here)[/img] then right click and hit "paste" and the web link for the pic will show up in between the 2 img boxes. DON'T hit the IMG button a second time. MOVE your cursor out of the IMG info you just created before you hit enter.
Now when you post the post, the pic will be there!
Remember that if you delete the photobucket "master" pic, it will no longer appear in the posting here on FS.com
Also: there is a size limit to the pictures that can be displayed here, I think it is 750 pixels in width, someone correct me if I am wrong. So you may need to resize (typically downsize) the pics so that they fit properly and all of the pic is displayed and not cropped. What I do is really simple: I email the original picture to myself within AOL. AOL will automatically prompt you to see if you want the picture "optimized". Say "yes" and send this new pic to yourself. I then save it with a "small" addendum to the picture name and put this optimized picture up on photobucket. It works every single time like a charm.

Bienvenue l'ami...
mais oui il y des spiders en France!
but not as many as in the US, and we do not have such a powerfull forum.
I am also on a carb issue (my 34 dmtr seems to be broken).
balancing among a few models.
a bientôt avec des photos
