Just a quick word to those who are frustrated at the fact that exact placement information does not appear in factory-published repair manuals.
The fact is simply that you do not have the publication prepared by the National Service Department and distributed to all authorized Alfa Romeo dealers: Quick Reference Guide to Electrical Systems. In the guide, of which I may still have a copy, you will locate each and every electrical component on late model Spiders and 164 models within seconds. Various markets around the world required specially-configured systems that when beyond the scope of the universal shop manual. And every distributor of the cars issued their own specialized instructions and diagrams. And as an aside, the factory shop manual was reviewed, altered and 'Americanized' in America by Americans. There was a limitation present that prevented the USA organization from submitting too specific a particular electrical configuration for the worldwide English-language printing. -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
