1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The 1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal continued to build its reputation as one of the finest Italian grand touring cars available. Alfa Romeo Tipo 33-derived V8 engine was the undisputed star of the show delivering smooth high-revving performance from its 2593 cc all-aluminum architecture. The Spica mechanical fuel injection system combined with the DOHC thirty-two-valve layout gave the Montreal an engine note and power delivery that was unmistakably sporting. The Bertone-styled body remained unchanged from launch retaining the dramatic louvered headlight covers flowing roofline and muscular rear haunches that turned heads wherever the car appeared. Alfa Romeo chassis engineering was equally advanced featuring double-wishbone front suspension and a de Dion rear axle with inboard disc brakes. The ZF five-speed gearbox provided precise shifts befitting a car of this caliber. By 1972 the Montreal had earned a loyal following among connoisseurs who appreciated the marriage of hand-crafted Italian design with genuine racing technology.
