Hello everyone,
First, here in Quebec we speak french so I will do my best in english.
For my 50th birthday in november I bought a 1977 and I'm very excited about this project. The first thing I will do, I will change the carburator setup, I have a 28/32 ADHA with a dual plane intake manifold and I will put a 32/36 DFEV with a single plane intake. Here in Quebec it's not easy to find Fiat parts so if someone out there who have single plane to sold I'm interested to by it.
In the last few weeks I read a lot of post and I learned to know the Fiat 124, it's a wonderful place to find information and I realy appreciate the quality of all the posts, thank you guy's to share your knowledge with us.

Merci !
David

Salut Dave,
Bienvenu!
J'habite à Ste Dorothee, Laval. Moi aussi il va falloir moderniser un jour mon fameux ADHA sur mon '79. Le problème c'est que toutes les Fiat et les pieces crissent leur camp chaque fois que le Parti Quebecois nous menace d'être elu. Dans le secteur de Laval-Montreal je suis chanceux si j'vois une ou deux Spider par année sauf s'ils sont en exhibition pour ce genre de vehicule. On peut s'organiser faire un tour ensemble en Ottawa en juin pour le défilé des autos Italiennes. C'est un bon trajet et l'entrainement fait du bien au moteur.
T'es sur que t'a un ADHA sur ton '77? Ce n'est pas original pour cette année et je ne peut pas imaginer que l'ancien prop voulait faire un tel changement.

Meilleures salutations,
Ari

Salut AriK,
J'ai bien un un ADHA c'est gravé sur la base et moi aussi avec tous ce que j'ai lu sur ce carburateur je me demande bien pourquoi ils ont fait ce changement mais bon je vais faire le update, il ne reste qu'a trouvé un intake usagé. Je suis a Wickham c'est voisin de Drummondville.
Bonne soirée.

Salut David et bienvenue
Vous avez trouvé le bon endroit avec les bonnes personnes pour votre Fiat.
J'espère que nous pourrons nous rencontrer à Ottawa ou à Montréal en 2017 (si nous pouvons survivre cet hiver). Une bonne groupe de propriétaires Spider dans cette région.
Apprenez à aimer votre Spider et cela vous donnera un grand plaisir.
Bien sûr, nous aimons voir des photos ...
Encore une fois, nous vous souhaitons la bienvenue, un Joyeux Noël et une Bonne Année avec ton Spider!

Hi
I know that you love to see some pictures, so this what my 124 looks.
When I got the car the starter was dead and I didn't start it, I put it in my garage and removed starter and rebuilded it after that I was able to stared it but i don't drive it, it's winter here we have snow and it's cold outside (between -5 and 15 F)

Merry Christmas Dave! It'll be at least another 90 days before the weather will permit driving. Nice car! It's similar color to mine. It took some time for me to get a good feel for my car and to become confident on creating distance away from home. Baby steps, and perhaps we can do a get together some time.
Regards,
Ari
