Hello, few months ago I purchased a 1979 Fiat 124 Spider. This car had been sitting outside under a tree for approx. 3 yrs. It was full of stuff! 3 flat tires and in very sad shape. I had just sold my 1965 Corvair Corsa autocross race car. So, I made the offer and now I am here, with this car sitting in my garage. I got it running but it is in need of carb work and many other things. I want to put a 1800cc intake manifold and a Weber 34ADF carb on it rather that dump $$ into the crap carb that it now has (28/32 ADHA). Look forward to advise and more advise from this form from time to time. Any ideas as to where I can find the intake and carb that I want?

good day, I live in Ringgold, GA right down the street. I actually work in Chattanooga. I have a good lead on most anything you might need with a great guy in New Jersey.

I also know of somebody in Dalton, GA who is sitting on four cars in various stages of death.
I currently have two in my garage. look in the restoration section for my thread called malto piccolo Ferrari resto project

Good call if you don't have to deal with smog issues like some states.
The 34 ADF is expensive , around $500.00 I think but some have put the 32/36 on and are happy with the change. Single plane is a must though. Nice simple mod with good results.
