re: [alfa] Two questions about my Spider

[Ben Dorfan <ndorfan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jamie,

I don't think that threaded opening is anything to worry about. That 
opening is normally plugged with a bolt and is there so that your 
mechanic can insert an air/fuel meter. If you got it plugged with a 
short bolt, it should be OK. If the bolt is too long, it could hurt 
performance by restricting exhaust flow.

As for premium fuel, well, the manual should answer that question. You 
didn't provide a year for your spider, but I'm willing to bet its an 
early or late model. If you fill up with regular gas, its a real 
"gamble" (for you Las Vegas folk this might be up your alley). But on a 
serious note, the fuel will likely detonate and blow a hole in your 
pistons. Now that's expensive compared to $2.49/gallon gas.

Happy motoring,
Ben
