Catch of the Day,
Picked up those beauty original alpina set yesterday.
It's absolutely complete and original, nothing aftermarket.
Now I got my wish list completed.
Rested almost 40 years in a attic countryside.

Im so happy and grateful I got these....

That’s amazing, congratulations. Which model Solex are they? It would be interesting if you could document the jetting and choke sizes of them also.

 

[Breiti]

Thank you,
When I overhaul them, I will document the jettings.
Those are 40th.
Comes from a 3.0 as I'm informed.
We will see how the jets working on the power test .

If a car is ever in an frontal accident, this chin parts is the first part to get banged up. And replacements parts post '73 were made in the US style. Your car thus likely still has the chin part it left the factory with.

It thus is likely you car also never had frontal collision.

The fan housing stamp confirm your assumption.
It's also from 1972, never changed.

Last but not least, trunk lid....
That paint remover work pretty well.
Have to fix some dents as well, but from that it's in pretty good shape.
