I have a 1.5 Sprint engine for sale. It was last used about 2 years ago when I fitted a new water pump but then found it had blown a head gasket. I then upgraded to a 16v so have no need for it. Any o ...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I realize the distributor has no effect on the timing. Its the crankshaft sensor that i am trying to adjust. You wouldn't normally have to do this. But my set up is obviously ...

Hi folks, does anyone know the ignition timing for the 16v, ie how many degrees BTDC the engine fires. Because of the way I have mated the Alfa engine with the VW gearbox I had to move the timing gea ...
