Hi folks Before i rip out the spica on my 78 California spider i thought i would try to get it running first ,two questions will it run without the air box, two what is the cylindrical grey plastic assy on the passenger side firewall in the engine bay it seems to have a button on the top with an up or down postion. thanks john That's right, John. You've located the relay housing for the spiders automatic seat ejector. The cylinder actuates a coil spring beneath the drivers seat, so that if the Spica Mechanical Fuel Injection is ever removed, the seat cushion and all it contains will be explosively driven through the canvas top. This could happen when you least expect it. modelle in somers point 115.01, 115.02 in final reassembly -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
