Fiat 124 Sport Spider - 1800 Owners Manual

Post by s990wg3 »

I found this in the glove box of the '76 Spider. It contains quite a bit of useful information. The manual helped me get my spider tuned up and running well. I hope it can help someone else by posting it up here.

Fiat got a lot more informative since 1972. It even has a section for storing the vehicle for long periods of time....cool!

You know how I've been struggling to get this thing of mine to run, well, someone at work said to me the other day "How's your car, Tony?"

Well, Bill. I have already today put your hard effort of scanning to work. Two different guys, both brand new Spider owners, had a copy of this manual sent to them by me in the process of answering a couple of very specific questions about their new cars.

Amazing how the email discussion changes when you get proof positive of something in writing. I know I know, and i know you don't...isn't always good enough. sometimes ya just gotta prove it with a note from the factory.

Don't tear me up cuz I'm Italian, but here is another "Tony" joke.

Q: Why are there so many Italians named Tony?

A: When they got on the boat to come over here they couldn't speak English so they wrote To NY on their foreheads so they would get to New York. The people at Ellis Island just thought their name was ToNY.

Yeah, I know its bad and I'm shure someone knows the punchline better.
