Hello there! I have never thought about owning a Fiat but the little thing just kinda found me and I think I like it. I got a really good deal I think so I took a big chance and purchased a 78 Spyder with 64,000 miles. It had been sitting for many years but seemed in good shape! So here I am but I have an issue, well many, but one I will ask on the forum I suppose!
I have always been a Chevy man, but I guess I am branching out!!

Re: Greetings and troubles!!
Hello and welcome. I kinda think you're going to end up liking to drive the Spider more than any ol' chevie. We all come to the forum with questions, you'll get help here, and then pretty soon you're answering questions to the newer members. You'll enjoy this forum.

Howdy! Listen to the guys here, they can get you all sorted out!
When you've been around a year or so, it will be fun to see you with the name "oklahomanewbie." I like it.

Re: Greetings and troubles!!
Thanks for all the greetings guys! see my other posts for my progress. I appreciate the help and encouragement!.
My Fiat will be more fun than any old Chevy! I think that would be great! My 74 Nova had a 500 horse 427, which was a lot of fun!, I realize this is a different kind of fun and with gas prices now...those days are gone!
I'll try to post a couple of pics..
the former owners
who can tell me what this stuff means?
This carb scares me.....
This is me!
let's see if this works...

500 HP in a Nova! My God! Fasten your seat belts folks, this ain't no ride in any ole' Chevy.
Sounds like this Spider is in good hands.

Those were the good old days. I am older and wiser now, at least that's what I tell myself!
