       The 1982 and later Bosch spiders all have 10:41 or 4.10 gears.  All 
2000 spiders prior to that had 9:41 or 4.56 gears.
       Some of the last of the Spica spiders may have had the 4.10 gears.  
The ones with the big single butterfly intake manifold had numerous changes 
including the VVT intake cam.  What else they might have had I am not sure, 
as I have never owned a complete one, only parts thereof.
       All of the 2000 Alfas from 1972 and after seem to have come to the USA 
with limited slip.
