Twin Spark



Alfa 75 Twinspark are quite common in EU. I think it was a model that sold 
well there.  When I was working at FIAT, in Romania, one of the guys I was 
talking to, was a long time owner of a 75 TS. He refered to it as "more of an 
ecological breakthrough, than a noticeable power improvement". His opinion 
was confirmed to me by a second owner later.
If i'm right, the "second generation" TS 16 valve motors (that were available 
beginning with the new Spider) were a different story, even the spark plugs 
were of different size, one bigger on centre and one smaller offset.
Though, I think those 75 TS had what Alfa called "variatore di fase" 
associated with the ignition system, it oftenly broke down and mechanics had 
a hard time figuring what was wrong (well, that's in Romania, where the 
diagnostic systems for the unit were hard to find).
