I bet that had your pulse up a few,
Maserati had more than a few problems with the Weber in a can. Issues with the pressure regulator on the firewall, overheating and head problems and the Gleason Torsen diff wearing itself to scrap. They did a big upgrade for the later 80s going to injection and changed the radiator and fans after that.
I still think they are a sweet car, but I would make changes to one.

Cheers, Charlie
