    Starting Issue: No spark at all

    Hello, Ran into a weird issue this afternoon while working on my Alpine. The car is a bit of a basket case and I'm currently sorting out the electrical system - today's project: the tachometer. I got the tach working, albeit is works backwards . . . but that is another issue I'll have to deal...

    Master Brake Cylinder Spacer?

    Hello all, I'm trying to get a new master brake cylinder installed on my SV Alpine, which seems to be a fairly straight forward job according to the shop manual apart from one detail - I keep coming across oblique references to a spacer, which I assume will go between the cylinder and the...

    Getting started . . .

    Hello all, I finally purchased my first Alpine this spring - a 1966 Alpine V. The car runs, though it has been sitting for some time. The body is fair, though I do fear the quality of some of the sill work that was done previously. Mechanically, I know the car needs a master brake...
