Hello Leon, The distributor is the only one they list for 6 cylinder Jaguar
applications. Model 23 or 25 comes to mind. You have to use the Lucas clamp
(as opposed to the Delco-Remy) and you'll have to reuse your old distributor
drive gear. You also lose the mechanical tach drive. If you are still using
vacuum advance they can do that as well but I think retard is out. When you
call them in Sparks Nevada they'll be totally ignorant of the Triumph
application so try not to confuse the poor lads. Just order a six cylinder
Jag dizzy and you'll be happy!
