Our 75 (4 speed) had this problem occasionally too. It went away after a gearbox rebuild a while back. I'm not sure what the problem was cause I didn't rebuild it. HOWEVER, I did hear of a trick whi

I'm having trouble finding a Classic Cars issue here in Austin! Is the title really Classic Cars or something like Thoroughbreds and Classic Cars? I've never seen either and I'd like to see the artic

With great glee I came home today to see a package from the TR8 Car Club of America in my mailbox! Since I hadn't received anything (ever) after sending my dues quite a while back, I was quite eager

Perhaps this is a rather mundane question but... My TR8's speedo is really jumpy below 30mph (bad news when I drive in a school zone). Since I've recently replaced the speedo (85 mph to 140 mph), I k

Hmmm. Here in Texas, a convertible is almost useless unless 1) you have an air-conditioner and LOTS of sunscreen :-) 2) you're willing to drive only before 7 am or after 7 pm :-( Phew! 100+ weather

Sorry to post this to the list but I can't seem to reach Bill Sohl directly. If you don't want to read about TR8 fuel injection (kind of long), you might want to skip this. Bill asks: I'm the third o

Speaking of wiring diagrams... Does anyone have a decent wiring diagram for a 1980 TR8 with injection? The one in the back of the TR8 Operations Manual is pretty hard to read (I'm not sure if it was

Thanks to everyone who wrote about finding air leaks in a Zenith-Stromberg dual carb set-up. Almost everyone seems to agree that carb cleaner sprayed in the appropriate spots is a great leak finder!
