Welcome! I am in Plano and just arrived home from Springfield, MO with my '82 Pininfarina 2000FI, so I'm a newbie, too. I'm sure I'll be seeking help from experienced members very soon.

Where are you located?

Hey everyone. I am located in White Oak Tx . 125 miles east of Dallas. Going tomorrow to get my car inspected as I believe
now it will kinda be dependable. I had alot of issues with it and have learned alot about the spider. I think I still have a carb
issue because it surges unless you pin its ears back and let it go.I was trying to smooth out the idle but have come to the conclusion it has a performance cam . I could be wrong maybe yall can help? Keep me posted on the hill country ride that sounds fun.

Hi welcome
I’m from New Brunswick Canada.
I’ve got a great 1974 Fiat 124. I get my parts in Texas at Vick Auto Sports.
Great guys. Their hospitality makes me want to visit your great State.
If you see them say hi for me.
