    a '67 912 has vacuum assist brakes?

    reading this article on the PCA email I get:

    https://www.pca.org/news/2020-11-17/...fulvia-and-912

    it says: "Both cars use four-wheel discs with a vacuum booster"

    pretty sure both 911s I have owned (a '69 and a '73) do not have vacuum assist

    does a 912?

    I agree, the writer does not appear to be knowledgeable. And I like the: "Lancia has an all-aluminum, 1.3-liter (or 1.6-liter) narrow-angle V4". I know it is not the proper understanding but would all-aluminum include the crank & rods?

    I haven't read it but it even isn't a V4 due to the crankshaft it's what you'd call a VR4 because every conrod has it's own crank pin and a very small angle between the cylinders.
    Opposed to having a v4 where two conrods share a crankpin.

    It's like saying a 12 cyl Boxer and a 180° V12 are the same
