FIAT 124 Spider Engine Maintenance + Modification 1. Introduction Welcome to my guide on FIAT 124 Spider engine maintenance and modification. Spiders are great cars, born in the mid 1960's when sports cars were fun to drive, affordable, and easy to work on. They remain a hobbyists’ dream. In 2002 I started to compile the various pieces of knowledge I obtained over the years into guides, first on carburetion and intake/exhaust systems, then, in 2004, a guide (more like a pamphlet) on fuel injection. I revised both guides over the years and finally compiled everything into this single document. My goal is to help you enjoy your FIAT as much as I enjoy mine. Acknowledgements and great thanks to… Jennifer Artigue, who has always supported (or tolerated) my obsession with these cars; Richard Ridge reviewed this guide several times throughout its development and has been instrumental in reviewing my other works as well; Eli Caul maintains Mirafiori, the FIAT page (www.mirafiori.com) and has worked tirelessly in his support of the FIAT community; Andrew Artigue disassembled, rebuilt, restored, and drove many Spiders with me throughout the last ten or so years; Troy McKaskle performed the final edits on the document and allowed his cars to be as test cases long before any of us claimed to know what we were doing; Pete Angel supplied diagrams and suggestions and reviewed sections of this document throughout its development; and Mike Richmond and Thad Kirk who wrote or reviewed sections of my previous works, much of which was brought over to this document. Thank you for keeping these cars on the road. September 2007 5
