My uncle has had a Green 1975 Alfa Romeo Montreal for years now. Pretty cool car, considering it was a V8 import, but it never quite ran right. So yesterday at the shop I spotted a Red one there too. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/BothMontreals.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/BothMontreals.jpg) This is the site of the usual eary Fuel injected V8 mess under the green car’s hood. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/GreenEngine.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/GreenEngine.jpg) So Jeller and I poped the hood on the Red one to compare… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/RedEngine.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/RedEngine.jpg) OMG Webber Carbs all the way around!!! A much better way to do this!!! The car is a lot cleaner than the other one too, original paint, and everything was really clean. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Redfrontcorner0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Redfrontcorner0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Redfront9.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Redfront9.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Redback8.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/x_iliohan/Redback8.jpg) I get back to my uncles house later in the day and asked him about it, and after some explanation hes like “you didn’t take it for a ride?” What was I thinking :ham: X… ---

Nice car the front of it looks mean with the lip. My dad happens to own an 86 spider on another note they can be a pain in the ass sometimes. ---
