1. Brake Lights 69 Spitfire (score: 1): Author: "John M. Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Wed, 1 Mar 1995 09:18:48 +0000; I'm working on the '69 Spit I sold to my girlfriend... it would pass inspection except that the brake lights don't. 1) Is there a fuse box, if so, where? Is it relevant to brake lights? 2) Where's th; /html/triumphs/1995-03/msg00000.html (7,535 bytes)
2. 69 Spit Brake Lights (score: 1): Author: "John M. Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Wed, 1 Mar 1995 21:55:03 -0500 (EST); Thanks to all who helped. The problem was simple: a wire had come loose from the brake light switch. Now I can get that nasty rejection sticker off the car! John M.

Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 07:20:35 -0500 (EST); Although I sold the 69 Spitfire to my girlfriend, I still work on it. The latest problem is starting. The starter will engage initially quite well, and crank the engine around. At some point the star; /html/triumphs/1995-03/msg00042.html (8,235 bytes)

Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 10:56:40 -0500 (EST); [excellent stuff deleted] This sounds like an excellent possibility! The car is probably not in a perfect state of tune. It's valve guides are leaky and so it has to fight a bunch of pooled oil to st; /html/triumphs/1995-03/msg00045.html (9,001 bytes)

You have a kinked or frayed choke cable. I had the same problem on the B and lived with it for a few months... but replacing the cable made operation much smoother. There was indeed a kink; /html/triumphs/1995-04/msg00143.html (8,872 bytes)
7. Re: Car mileage (score: 1): Author: "John M. Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Mon, 24 Apr 1995 10:47:46 -0400 (EDT); One thing to check is the brake and clutch pedals. A car with 130K will show substantial wear on the rubber pads (if original) where a 30K car will show only a little. Carpet/mat wear, and shifter kn; /html/triumphs/1995-04/msg00168.html (8,003 bytes)

If you are off a few degrees the valves you set will be slightly loose, not a bad thing. The "valve closed" section of the cam is probably very "flat" (const; /html/triumphs/1995-05/msg00208.html (8,527 bytes)

I have rebuilt my '73 MGBs Smiths with some luck. In my case a retaining clip had popped off, allowing the push-the-odometer-device (a technical term) to also fall off.

I'll have the B since I'm about to take the Spitfire down for headwork. Should be fun! John M.

13. Mk III Spitfire Timing (score: 1): Author: "John M. Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Mon, 23 Oct 1995 22:06:42 -0400 (EDT); The data plate on her Spitfire suggests 2 ATDC for dynamic timing. Are they serious? The B is more like 11 BTDC (note Before, not After). The only thing wrong with the way the car runs at 10 or so BT; /html/triumphs/1995-10/msg00344.html (7,593 bytes)

Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Tue, 24 Oct 1995 10:28:05 -0400 (EDT); Thanks for the info... this is definitely an advance mechanism on this carb.. Now, how do I tell where 13 BTDC is? <g> I do have a cam degree wheel somewhere, I guess I could just mark the pulley 13; /html/triumphs/1995-10/msg00354.html (8,210 bytes)

Trindle" <jtrindle@tsquare.com>; Date: Wed, 25 Oct 1995 10:43:48 -0400 (EDT); Well, the Haynes manual agrees with 2 degrees static BTDC and 6 degrees dynamic BTDC. (you said static was BTDC and dynamic ATDC). This has the distinct advantage of both making sense and running OK.; /html/triumphs/1995-10/msg00388.html (7,614 bytes)
