Re: Alfa sei

[AlfaR7@domain.elided]

Hello Matt! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. At this point no one 
has contacted me about the Alfa Sei carbs et.al. At that price I guessed 
someone with that setup would have wanted them for spares. It took me forever 
to find a useable set with all the right pieces.
The transmission started life as a Platinum Box, modified by pressing off the 
3rd-4th cluster gear. Cutting it into, and using a similarly cut cluster from 
a four cyl. box for the 4th gear. For fifth I machined the gear teeth from 
the Plat. box and machined the center from a 4cyl. fifth pressing those teeth 
to the plat.hub. This gave me the high 2nd., 3rd., from the plat. and lower 
4th.,& 5th.,from the Alfetta box. With the 3.42 R&P  I`ve got 4 very useable 
gears.The final result is :
!st.---2.77-1
2nd.-1.72-1
3rd.--1.23-1
4th.--1.04-1     orig.0.95
5th.--0.83-1     orig.0.78

By the way, I`ve got an Orig,101,1300 normale engine gearbox assembly that 
appears to have never been opened. The motor runs great,clutch and gearbox as 
well. we pulled it from a car that a friend bought for chassis parts(Steve 
Hatfield from Ft.Walton,I think he has bought from you for his 59 Spider) I 
traded him a 2 liter for it and have no need  for the Guilietta stuff. Steve 
kept the Intake & Exhaust sys. The starter  has been replaced but the rest 
seems to be as assembled in Italy,if you know someone who has use for it. My 
interest was to use the gears to build another close ratio gear box for my 
vintage GTJr.,but it would be a shame to break apart for such if there is a 
restorer who has better need.
