L-Jetronic rev limit, etc.

["Joseph E. Moryl" <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For some time I have noticed that the rev limiter in my Milano Gold (2.5 
V6) cuts in at a lower RPM than expected - about 5000 according to the 
tach. If I check the tach and find it to be accurate, is it safe to assume 
that somthing is out of whack in the L-Jetronic box? Tweaked injector 
boxes usually will have an increased limit - how is this done? I believe 
the L-Jet is analog, no? Is there a trimpot/resistor/capacitor that sets 
the revlimit? Does anyone know any good links for this; I am reasonably 
adept at circuits, etc.

I don't see any problem with body rigidity on my Milano. Aren't hatchback 
variants of most sedans less rigid and wouldn't this then point to the 
GTV6 being more flexible?

Oil filters: the alfa OEM ones are the same as the Italian brand 
"technocar", which sometimes show up in the aftermarket. I have a feeling 
that most of the US made filters eminate from just a few plants. Just 
bought some cheap "Penzoil" filters for my SAAB that are identical to 
Fram in every detail. Also have been told of Bosch filters being made 
side by side with some US brand (Purolator? Lee?), difference being the 
color they are painted. Wouldn't it make sense for a producer to make 
exactly the same filter for all its private label products - no need to 
rejig, re-design, etc?
