Just bought a '78 Spider, starting to work through the "to-do" list. Amazingly for this state it seems to have almost no rust! Starts and runs, but will be a long journey to get it into condition to take my wife out on date in it (familiar story here, I know!) I had an MGB 30 years ago, and used to do shade-tree mechanic work on my american cars before computer controllers were common, but this is my first Italian fling and first time holding a timing light in decades. Here goes nothing.

Re: Hello from Vermont
Welcome aboard.
There are a bunch of Spiders in New England - although Google Maps says you are almost 3 hours from me.

Keep an eye out for Tutto Italiano at the Larz Anderson in early August. Great show for Italian cars.
