Zenith Strombergs can be tuned? By your statement that ZS's are harder to tune than SU's you're implying that you can tune a ZS. (Just jibing you) The only advantage to the ZS over a set of SU's or a

There is more truth to that than you know, hence the tendencies toward SUs!!! The balancing is often overstated. It is one of the easier things to set! The diaphragm is more to my original point!! Do

Take him for a ride over to my place, and we can confuse him no end. I've also got an inca yellow Spitfire, but I've also got a Fiat Spider. Oh we could have fun with this guy!

There's another Spyder that you didn't mention. It's the Fiat 850 Spyder. Engine in the rear (If you don't mind my stretching the term, engine enough to include that abomination)!!!! :0 Joe

The 850 Spyder did (my brother-in-law had one!) the 124 (later 2000) Spyder was front-engined. But maybe Terry's onlooker was thinking of a Corvair Monza Spyder? (I had one of those. I confess.) Atwe

And what is wrong with having a Spyder? I had a Spyder convertible some 25+ years ago, sold it when Uncle Sam sent me to the UK. In the year and a half I had one, I never saw another. Within a coupl

Ooops, Just check and it wasn't a 850 but a early '70s 124 Spyder. But the engive WAS at the rear! With the gas tank between the seats and the engine! Remember being somewhat scared by that setup but

Not sure what kind of car you had Steph, But if the engine was at the rear, it was not a 124. Now maybe a 127 or 128, but I don't recall those being spyders. The 124 was always a front engined car i

I hate to disagree, but I also had a Corvair (a 62) and it had 2 carbs but was not a Monza. It had 102 HP and an (get this) air conditioner. That condenser coil was on top of the fan which made it a
