Re: Parts and advice needed, PLUS Alfa's being sold in Indiana

Hi Chip:

Re the starter, try:

http://autoexpress.safeshopper.com/

They ask $93 for any of the big starters for a 2L, and $125 for the cool, 
small gear-drive type, including core charges and a 3-yr. warranty..

Re the cams, lots of used 10548's always on eBay.

Re the ignition, I like the Crane XR3000 and LX91.  Easy install in a 
Marelli S103B or BA, pain-in-the-ass install in any of the Bosch 041, 044, 
045.  My Spider is a '74 w/Spica and the distributor is a Bosch 041.  I 
think it was well worth the expense and effort.  For the best prices, buy 
directly from Crane at:

http://www.shopcranecams.com/ignitionscoils.html

I've seen, first-hand, problems with the Bosch electronic distributors 
offered by Centerline, IAP, Vick and RML.

Regards,

Dean
