==============================
when my speedo went away, i contemplated the sender repair, but as the gnu one
wasn't too much $$$, i yust ordered it from alfa.  also, you will have some t/a
oil when you pull the old sender out (the bolt yust fits into a notch in the
side of the sender, which keeps the sender in the t/a - you won't lose any fluid
upon bolt-removal), and i wanted to have the rite part to immediately reinstall
after removal of the old one.  i lost mebbe an ounce of fluid.  i did need to
perform some wire-harness surgery, as the gnu sender connection was different
from the old connection - at least the wire colors were correctly matched!

for repairs, i have the copy of the factory milano shop manual, from i.a.p., and
an old haynes alfetta manual.  between those & this list, i'm pretty
well-covered!

ciao for now,
