 Hello all. I'm a proud owner of 1984 Spider Veloce. First, can someone give
 me pronunciation of "Veloce"? Is it Ve-la-chi or Ve-lose or something
 entirely different?

Ve-lo-che....... means "fast" in Italian. Was used in the late '50's and 60's 
to designate  and differentiate the hi-performance engines from the normal 
engines. After 1970 all the Alfas that came to the U.S. were the Veloce type.
Regards and good luck,
