TR7s have Bosch fuel injection. That includes the fuel injection computer, all the sensors, injectors, etc. The wiring harness might be Lucas and the fittings (plenum chamber, etc) are all Triumph bu

I'm trying to extract the piece Scott F wrote about lever shocks a while back. Problem: the last sol.digest(.900) on hoosier goes only to Aug 3. How often do these get updated? Also, did anyone keep

OK, maybe this doesn't exactly belong here but I thought some of you might be interested. An acquaintance's grandfather died and his widow would like to sell his car, a 1954 Nash Metropolitan. Comple

Hi! I'm looking for parts for my TR-8 and I need to find a TR-7 parts car *WITHOUT* A/C. Anyone know where I can find one? There don't seem to be any in TX... If you do know of one, write me back at

The Nash that I posted is in the Austin TX area (sorry I forgot that). Scotty: I'm *going* to put MTL in my 74 TR6's tranny/overdrive. I put Castrol 80W-90 in the diff. I haven't gotten the 6 on the

Well, they DID make almost 100,000 of those cars! However, I think they actually made more TR7's (but they aren't nearly as bombproof as a 6). HOWEVER, here in Austin, there are really only maybe 6 T

Funny thing happened to me this last weekend. For the first time in my life, I've been actually stranded in a Triumph and unable to limp home. My usually trusty TR8 started sputtering and then procee

Well, for those of you who care, my electrical gremlin *DID* turn out to be a bad coil. I borrowed a coil from another TR8 this weekend (thanks to Tom Bishop), drove around for over an hour and nothi

This last Saturday was one of our club's fix-it days. We managed to reverse the flow of entropy on three cars (but not without putting in a fair bit of work). Anyway, a TR4A we were working on just w

Most of you read about my electrical gremlin the other day (it turned out to be a bad coil). I was relating the story to a friend of mine and telling him how the coil was a little oily -- perhaps bec

OK, I've been forced to post my 2 cents :-) When I got my TR8, the "main" beam switch was broken (in fact, the main beams would come on at almost every little bump). I ordered a replacement. I took

Tom Bishop and I are going to do something about our exhaust manifolds. They've got a nice coat of rust on them and we'd rather see them a nice cast metal color. Question: What DIY coatings have you

A naive question: I'm supposed to help a friend tune up the carbs on his TR4(A?). I've done it a bunch of times on TR6's and 7's but never on a 4. Are the TR4 carbs SU's or Zenith/Strombergs? Will th

Thanks to all who posted info on my question about TR4A carbs. Turns out they were SU's after all. After working for years with Z-S carbs, I was truly *amazed* at the lovely simplicity of the SU's. A

Questions about a late J type overdrive (80 Spitfire): Barry called me last night and asked me about gear oils. Why? It seems his overdrive is "slipping" and he's wondering if the dudes at the local

My left TR8 catalytic converter melted the wires travelling nearby. (The insulation had actually all fused together.) Anyway, I'm in the process of rewiring this small part of the harness since the i
