I floated around between some Fiat and Lancia groups on the web and facebook. I'm trying to find a place to get up to date information on the Fiat twin cam engine. Does anybody suggest a place where I can ask questions and people have a really good body of knowledge?

Not sure what it is like there currently but mirafiori.com is where the hardcore US based Fiat crowd always hung out. 

Find a copy of Guy Croft's book? Holy moly!!! I just looked up what that is going for these days!!!

Fiatspider.com forums?

Ital Motors in Edmonton.  Fred Del Pero.  His son, who runs the place, kinda hates that Dad makes him keep old Fiat parts in stock.  I needed a rear caliper for a 124 Spyder last year.  On the shelf...

Do you want info or parts?  Look up vicks fiat of midwest bayless.

   Not overly complicated engines or cars.  They tend to leak a little oil, but they are really good engines.

     Unlike some Italian engines, you can swap out valve shims fairly easily, without taking alot apart.

      My first car was a Fiat 124 spyder, that was a long time ago.

Mirafiori.com is where the cool kids hang out. It's an archaic forum, but the people on it are probably the most knowledgeable you'll find. 

You'll need to log in to post.
