These videos are priceless documents, you can read about this all day long on the forums (which are great) but to actually see the work being performed in such a high quality format like this is something else.. thanks for the work and effort put in.

I believe you mean Ohms Resistance measurement. Measuring resistance in the contact point of the winding. If electrical 'Current' is running through the sender then the tank will explode from the current and vapor. Yes some sending units have current wiring but that should be for the fuel pump and not the Sending unit (which should be using ohms for measurement)🙂

I have been looking at a couple different Alfa Spiders lately, which got me thinking about your channel. I just went back through and watched all your Spider videos. Still great. To be clear, your other videos are amazing as well. Hope life is treating you well and you are getting to do the things you enjoy. Thank you for the awesome content.

It turns out that spring under the diaphragm is not required. The spring under the rubber plug that seals the chamber from outside air is obviously required, but this booster had an additional spring under the diaphragm to close the diaphragm faster, but it’s not standard or required, it’s just there for tuning.

I had similar problems on my '69 GTV. If you've got an old Alfa and the steering isn't intuitive, either the box itself has problems or the box is loose on its mounting.

Catching up on the videos. Turned on to your channel from Home Built by Jeff: octagon rotisserie. I noticed the high tensile strength washers. Are they crush washers? if so, they would need to be installed correctly. The smaller circumference side goes to the part, the wider to the nut or bolt. The crush washer is designed as a lock washer in disguise. It takes torque to compress them; that compression helps keep the nut/bolt from loosening up. Totally enjoying the videos and the meticulous attention to detail, it shows a love for the car and craft that goes into it.
