I bought a set for my 1.7 motor which replaces the missing 2.0 if motor.
I bought these a couple of months ago but have just got around to engine work. This evening I got them out of packing tonight and I think I have a problem. I set them on their manifolds but it looks like they are single sided. They are Italian stamped, 40 IDF. A search finds that they are likely off a fiat or alpha. I did however find a link to a 356 thread which is short and inconclusive. Has anyone fitted this type/model with success? I'll try to get pics uploaded asap. |

Yep, those won't work as-is. You'd need to disassemble and put in new throttle shafts which are available. That in itself isn't all that hard but the throttle shafts are drilled at a very specific angle for the accelerator pump cam. As far as I know you need a special jig to do that.
I believe in this case that someone must have had these mounted in a side-by-side application and cut the throttle shafts down to make them fit. Bummer. |
